    Calling Altor and Koolkid and other alarm-knowledgeable persons!,


    I'm upgrading my alarm and (I did it a good few years ago but there's a few cobwebs since...) I'm tech-savvy enough but its been a while...

    I have the remote KP hooked up to the main panel, and cables run. I was hoping to set the new system up in parallel and bench test (say with only a couple of new sensors) so house is still protected with old system. Then do a transfer of the rest of the inputs

    Any chance you could share a wiring diagram/photos to a HKC Securewatch 8/12 panel for the following:

    a Single PIR (for one zone)

    b 3 slimline (with reed) sensors in series for 3 windows (one zone)

    c A single slimline (with reed) for a door (one zone)

    Also - Do I need the 6 cores or can I get away with 4?


    cheers,

    Kevbhoyo

    You can get away with 4 cores on PiRs and powered devices using duel end of line resistors. Likewise you can wire a sensor or contact on a pair using the same configuration. If you are short on cable cores I would recommend SPC panels as they let you share all common negatives.
    I don't have diagrams to hand as I'm mobile at the moment. I'll get something up for you if you need them.

    Koolkid - would you have a wiring diagram for 3 slimline (with reed) sensors in series for 3 windows (one zone) Dual EOL?

    Can do 2 sensors but obviously Im making a mistake with 3!!

    Have done a sketch that I can send

    See the diagram I PMed you back.
    You just use one core of the cable to extend the parallel resistor across all the alarm points.

    Thanks Koolkid - I think all the sport over the weekend had me distracted. One resistor in series and one in parallel across them all.

    Hi koolkid if possible could you email me the diagram for dual end of line resistors. Thanks
