Some Obvious Questions From A Newbie

[Guest PaulMaddocks]

Hi all,

First post on the forum, so far found it very useful but I have a couple of specific questions I need some answers to before I can wire up my panel.

I have a scantronic 9651 with 5 Honeywell PIRs and 1 smoke detector. I have checked the manual for the control box and just need to confirm the following:

Power for PIRs etc are all connected the AUX power connector strip (as this is the only power output I can see on the board).

The alarm connections on the PIRs (each connected on a different zone) appear to share a connection block, e.g for Zones 1 and 2 there are 3 connections, am i correct in assuming that Zone 1 PIR Alarm + goes to first connection, return from Zone 1 middle, Zone 2 return to middle and Zone 2 Alarm to 3rd connection. (Apologies if this is totally off the mark but I could not see how else it goes)

Finally, could someone be kind enough to post a very quick diagram on FSL wiring, I understand you need to wire the 2 different resistors into each sensor, but not got a grasp on which to where.

Again sorry for the obvious questions but I am keen to get my head around this and get it all done myself. Programming I got no problems, just the physical.

As far as the wiring on the board - you seem to have that right - you have two sets of AUX 12V on the board, right next to each other.

The zones on the board - 1 Commn 2, 3 common 4 etc - dead right.

The resistors - wire the larger one in PARALLEL with the C/NC contacts of the detector, and the smaller value resistor from one side of these contacts to one side of Tamper (ie, in SERIES with the C/NC). Now you have Two resistors in one side of C/NC. Put one zone leg into the other side, and the other to the empty tamper terminal.

Ok that sounds all good to me.

To check I understand correctly, is the diagram below what you descibed?

Might just have got all this sussed. I guess for power they give me 2 lots of terminals so I don't have to stuff all the wires into just 1. I can load them both up evenly?

Thanks for you help.

The picture looks correct to me (not sure on the values, I don't do much with Scantronic but the wiring looks ok).

As for the power terminals, most people find it easier to wire all the power cables from detectors to a terminal block and then take 2 cores from some .75mm flex to the aux terminals to avoid having to jam loads in one terminal.

Depends how many cables you end up with, 3 or 4 is ok, more than that and you really want to be looking at doing it the above way.

scantronic still use 2k2 and 4k7 resistors

can just go closed loop,its not like its a high graded panel now is it.

Ok guys that cool, thanks for all your input. It was mainly the FSL wiring so if I have that right I should be cool.
