Where Does The 3k Resistor Go..


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

Firstly, thanks to those who helped me with the previous PIR wiring question. I have one more and then hopefully Im done for the week!

I have a new Honeywell Galaxy Dimension inc touchcentre. I have just started putting my PIRs in(Bosch blueline with pet detection - thanks Redbull for previous recommendation). I got into a bit of bother last night trying to work out whether I could have multiple PIRs off one zone (due to my downstairs cabling being put in when house was constructed and so the cabling is one continuous, in series, line around the ground floor.)

I understand now that I cant easily have multiple PIRs off one zone, i understand I can do one further zone by using another unused pair in the six core cable, so I am going to attempt shortly to put more individual cables from the control panel into each room (so each room is a zone).

Where I am now is that I want to wire up one PIR on a cable line. Starting off at basics. I understand from the honeywell installation manual for this panel that I should put in a 3k resistor between the two fault terminals on the detector in addition to the 1k resistors between the tamper in and outs and the alarm in and out.

My query is with my PIR - the bosch doesnt, what what I can see, have two fault terminals. It has:

Tamper Contact, negative, positive, alarm relay(in), alarm relay(out), DA(? - digital alarm?), and then Tamper Contact. This is looking at the terminals left to right.

where does the 3k resistor go?

much appreciated. if you were close I would buy you a pint in the local!

Agreed, your not installing to G3.

Just use the 1K + 1K diagram.

i havnt logged onto this site for ages, i cant believe how much it has changed.

the last time i was on her everyone would have told any non trade person asking how to wire a galaxy dimension in his own home that he should get a pro in.

im not sure that galaxy dimensions should be available for every tom, dick and harry.

doesnt matter where he bought it, if sites like this didnt give him the info he needed to programme/wire it then it would be money wasted.

there are loads of reasons that the info on programming/wiring these panels shouldnt be given out, but surely the selfish reason is we are feeling the pinch at the moment and any info we give to people like this is coming out of our pockets.

just want to add, im not saying we shouldnt help people, i just dont think we should give free info out to some guy that is fitting a touch screen dimension in his house

Valid point possibly-any views peeps?-I help out where I can, and as thus can be classed as 'short changing myself'-trade discussion perhaps?. :whistle:
