Doh! Now you put it like that it makes perfect sense. I’d forgotten that mine is really meant to go outside.

Would someone mind confirming via Pyronix that the old one definitely needs battery as well if you use the power supply. Seems an odd way to build it?

Here's what I would do. Set the panel up on a desk with a mains cable and it's main battery (just as it would be in situ) and leave all the jumpers in place for the detectors (so they are not used) Then take a short piece of 6 core and set up the bell box exactly as it should be when it's in...

Link please :-)

Many thanks for the reply. A battery is just under £20 but there are two of them. It’s not worth £40 every time just for an internal sounder. If I get round to it I may try replacing the batteries with a 3v power supply.

I've got a fully installed and working Pyronix Enforcer system using the wireless combo kit. for the main house external bell box though I added an extra wired Deltabox with backlighting. The original Wireless bell box is just used indoors as a remote internal sounder. All has been good...

Many thanks Spark123 And thanks to everyone for replying to a new user without making me feel like I was stupid. Paul.

Thanks Sparks, I wonder why I was told to go for the external RCD, probably because it's more expensive eh :-) Possibly the last questions now :-) Wiring this thing I presume I'd chase the 2.4 twin along the wall from the side of the twin 13 amp socket and then cover with metal strip...

Thanks Mapj1, just the information I needed. The way my house is wired, I know I have two seperate ring mains that I could potentially take spurs from. Using one for the pond and low voltage lighting and the other for my workshop. however I really would like something neater than sticking...

You are right I did mean the best option would be the main CU. I've been told by part P certified people that I can spur from the socket which is on the ring main. cheers paul

I'm afraid I have to ask the knowlegable folk here to cover the familiar topic of outside electrics. I have searched on sheds outside ect already I have noted BAS's comments I have considered part P I considered burying the cable to the right depth I considered the voltage drop I have...
