Hi. This is my first post so please bear with me!!
About a year ago I installed an accenta g4 system in my scout hall (I am a scout leader and offered to install it to replace an ancient system we had). I am not an electrician but am generally quite good at working out things like this!!
The system currently only uses 4 zones out of the 8 available (1 door contact and 3 PIR’s) but we’ve been doing a bit of work on the premises so I now need to install an additional door sensor (new fire escape) and I am also planning to install a couple of smoke detectors on zones 7 & 8.
Can anyone please advise whether:
a) I can connect the door contact to zone 5. The current one is connected to zone 1 but I want the fire exit one to be on a different zone so I can set it to chime if the door is opened.
b) What type of smoke detector do I need to use? There seem to be so many and such a variance in price!!
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Alan
