hi there, a finally getting round to wiring my galaxy RKP's with screed cable instead of normal alarm cable!! (yes i know it was the wrong cable but have just managed to get hold of some belden cable). Was just wondering where the "screened sheath" part of the cable should go with regards to the main pcb and RKP. The cable is 4 core paired.

as long as it is mains rated earth it at the panel.

Just strip it back, cut off the stuff the looks like tin foil and terminate the uninsulated screen wire to the earth post near the lower right corner of the PCB (there should be an accessory pack with a couple of nuts that will screw onto these posts)

For future reference, Honeywell have stated that beldon is not required on runs shorter than 20m (I think that's the figure anyway)

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
