Many thanks sparky...I'll post updates as and when the programming falls apart! Cheers.

Ah - remember why I purchased it (over a year ago!) now. Mainly for the two smoke zones, but also for alerts (including, if I can program it correctly, for back doors opening). Just dawned on me that Bell and Speaker are indeed different elements. If you get a moment, can you confirm that...

Aye, looking forward to dipping my toes into Wintex :shock: :D I'll probably start this evening (hope it can be carried out a little at a time just in case I don't complete the test in one go?). Just another quick question if ok? I've attached the Pyronix Twin Alert last night as...

Hope so matey! It's my daughters Birthday weekend so I haven't really had the chance to start on the programming (or wiring that additional speaker) but will start in the week. Last of the door contacts have been installed too (trickiest part of that was the chiselling and hole drilling for...

Cheers - so I can place the spare cores from Tamper (T and T - say green and white) into the AUX/Fault terminals currently looped as below - and does this mean I can remove that link: I'm probably over thinking this as usual, but can't help thinking this will go a little pear shaped if I...

Ah - loud speaker! I was looking for L/S on the panel :( So I can use the Bell Power for 12v and 0v and also for the speaker (rather, if I wanted to, the panel speaker terminal - the one that is indeed currently wired in). The pic of the panel above is before anything was actually wired...

Thanks sparky - apologies but I'm still a tad confused though. Perhaps because I'm still thinking in the 'end of line' wiring I did with the PIR's and contacts (using four cores - +,-, Tamp and Alarm)? Am I connecting the Pyronix to the Aux zone section 12v - 0v (the one full of the PIR +/-...

Hey! Believe it or not, due to ongoing refurb works in the house this alarm fit is still 'offline'! I've carried out a rewire/carpentry/lighting/plastering/painting/decorating have knock this back somewhat (didn't do the skim!), but I'd like to complete the alarm fit this weekend hopefully...

Hi folks - apologies from to drag this one from the past! We've had a load of other 'bits and bobs' to do around the house, so this job has been left to one side for a while. However, I managed to finally pick up a lintel last week on the recommendations of the poster above (local builders...

Thanks pcaouolte - will do.

Pure 100% unadulterated geekery - love it! Actually, that's a really good explanarion (you're rather good at that pcaouolte :) ) I'll post a pic of the contact some time today - one of the legs was touching an adjacent screw, but I've managed to shift this to one side. Good tip re the bit...

Hi - I've had the alarm panel fit put to one side whilst other things have been implemented (finished a drop of 300 metres CAT6 and 250 metres Coax!). Just fitting the resistors to the surface contacts now. Seem a decent fit, though tricky to make sure the resistors don't touch the screws...

Thanks - most of these tv points should be built into a part stud wall, so after all that 'faffing' I should be ok. Good point re the back box mind (newly acquired sds drill makes that far less of a chore). Cheers.

In that respect, they're a much more eloquent solution. Perhaps I didn't do enough homework on these, but I placed the trust in my satellite engineer who dropped these off for me. Seeing as everything is terminated up in the loft from the rooms below a different module may have been more...

Hide the blinking thing out of view :) I was recommended the triax plates by a few people (they're on the satcure site too) but that design seems ridiculous given the care you need to give the cables. My OCD is probably kicking in a little too...I won't see them oriented ar*e upside their...

Ok - yes, I've spotted it now, cheers. I suppose I have answered my own question, but don't discredit your help - I wasn't entirely convinced laying the plate on the side (or even upside down) would be blessed by somebody in the know. You've also emphasised the importance of bending these...

Thanks Sam. I couldn't see a triplex version from the links (the slim and fast ones) but I've already taken delivery (and started to wire up) those Triax triplex modules...

BTW - I'm also laying approximately four Cat6 points per room.

Hi folks - never realised this forum had an audio visual section :oops: Just in the [long] process of dropping all my cabling around the house. I've laid all my Co Ax cable last week and had Quattro LNB fitted to the sat dish which then connects to Triax 5 in 12 out multi amp/switch. I had...

Good point...and you have a sterling memory too! As for the coax - aye - I might do that. Not a real biggy and it's one of my other large projects that's nearing completion..just a few niggles. I'll try the electrics (computer?) forum for that. Cheers.
