RichardAirey Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Dear Friends, My current alarm panel is over 20 years old and I have decided enough is enough I have decided to go for a veritas R8. The panel is located in the hallway about 3 meters from the front entry, shoulder height in clear view. Since relocation will cost alot more instead I wish to mount the R8 main box high enough so that a ladder is needed MY QUESTION: To do this I would need to extended some wires to reach the raised box, how would I go about hiding the Terminal blocks which are at shoulder level? Is there a smaller alternative to using terminal blocks? Thanks is advance!
hpotter Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Not wishing to put you off upgrading, but I'd be inclined to start again. New panel, detectors & wiring (as you wish to resite the panel). Additional cost would be minimal - click the sponsor link above for prices. If you must do junctions I'd solder joint & heatshrink sleaving.
