I've just spent the weekend installing a nexus 8 alarm (from maplin) and have done most of the hardwork, laying cables, new power connection from consumer unit, and have the exterior alarm, and control box installed.
All i have left to do is install contact switches on doors and PIR's. (and then configure it all).
To avoid drilling holes in patio window I bought a seperate magnetic door contact from maplin (MM11) it has 4 prewired in cables blue, yellow, red and black. Any idea as to where they should go to, I assume 2 are alarm, and 2 tamper, but which is which, is there any usual convention for these things?
Also any tips for installing PIR's. We have a cat and I would like to avoid false alarms, also any problems with the PIR facing a window?
I was considering buying the Focus Quad Detector (SJ59P), are they worth it?
