Thanks Paul. You're probably right in as much as it's most likely not worth it. I purchased a decent doorbell (wireless) last year, that more than suffices. If I'm going to have to purchase an expander (rather than using the free zone in the RKP) it's getting less worth the hassle by the...

...Just throwing another thought out there, would fitting a door bell into the panel (I'd have to use that spare zone within the entry RKP) be more trouble than it's worth? I'm assuming I wouldn't need either a transformer or speaker (I'd use that pryonix internal sounder) but could just wire up...

Cider it is! Many thanks - makes complete sense that - I'll fit it up in the week. Cheers.

Hi virgilns, I'd pass those beers onto pcaouolte...massive help to me. Can I just jump on your thread and confirm your Pryonix sounder wiring (specifically the tamper connections)? Mine turned up yesterday, but I haven't had chance to look at it yet. I assume you connect wires to the same...

Good job virgilns. Like the neat conduit for the CU. That metal premier 24 is so much bigger than the plastic/poly panel...slightly kicking myself for not getting that version. I've got that same pryonix sounder on order so I'll have a look how I'm going to wire in when it arrives. I'm...

...good point!...

^^ I meant a 20mm flat drill bit - not a bench grinder! One day perhaps :) Little update. Everything is pretty much wired up now, although (inevitably) I ran out of cable by about 10 metres (grrr). Looks like I'll have to buy a 100m reel again (only a tenner to be fair). Just the bellbox...

A fellow texecom premier DIY installer :) Glad you're getting to grips with it - almost the same set up as me (part of me wishes I'd gone for the metal casing but ho hum), as you'll know from my thread. Will add IP com/GSM stuff at a later date Will look back for updates with interest -...

A...what?! I have a various drill bits...I'll check if I have the right size for the hole required for the flusg fitting, otherwise I'll pick one up. I'll definitely test drill first however. Yes - will fit on the opening side (both cables have been routed there already, but I'll figure out...

Cheers - will order and fit those then. Thanks.

^^ No - it opens inwards - are you thinking that as it opens inwards (and therefore less prone to catching any of the 'less dry' elements) I'll be ok fitting flush sensors? TBH - I'd never seen the flush sensors before, so they were kind of off my radar. Cheers.

^^ Aye - that helps a lot - thanks for posting. I did say I'd order a couple of flush contacts, but in fact I can only order one as the front door (unlike the back) is open to the elements so I'll stick with the [brown] usual contacts. The resistors don't look too untidy there to be...

Many thanks Pcaouolte - I've sent them a missive - just hope they agree to waive the return cost back, otherwise my other orders will go elsewhere (and to be fair, they have a very good reputation as a company). I'll order some flush contacts then. Virgilns - a pic would be great - cheers.

Resistors...doable though? I did solder one of my kids toy trains last week....tiniest bit of solderingon frankly rubbish electronics :). Point being, I'm fairly dextrous but do you reckon I'll end up flinging the flush contacts through the front door!! Ah - PC - Com looks like a better...

Cheers pacaouolte - I agree - I was going to purchase the brown block contacts (as the front door is the same) but I'll look into the flush versions - these: http://www.alertelectrical.com/prod/1224/flush-mounting-burglar-alarm-contact-brown And by the looks of them, they seem to be the...

[/url] £13 sounds good...although Maplin are usually far more expensive for many items. Not quite sure what exactly the cable is made up of, but I'll take a look this evening. Many thanks.

Hi - apologies - been a busy weekend. Ok - this is the original route for the cable to the back door contact. It's neither here nor there routing the cable either side of the door (door was put in last year and I still need to 'make good' around it anyway. The door had to open...

Btw - the 3ah battery - the cheapest postage option to send it back was only a little less than the battery cost itself (they're fairly heavy!). I can't claim the delivery back as the battery isn't at fault. I'll keep this for the time being and upgrade in the future to the 7ah.

I hope it helps - there should be enough info on this thread to make life a heck of a lot easier when you carry your own install out. Glad I persevered, as it was a little daunting. We did contact an engineer when we moved in last year, but he mucked us around a bit (that was for a wireless...

That potential banana skin turned out to be anything but then. That option works beautifully - I've placed the magnet and contact in the top of the frame and groove in the top of the door, and there couldn't be a better fit. I've not fixed them or wired yet, but slotted them in and made sure...
