james.wilson Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 You need the 2 resistors as noted above on your smoke securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
gixerlad Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 All sorted and working bob-on so thank you all very much indeed for your help! Very helpful place indeed. I should probably have asked here about which model before buying one on ebay, but having no other experience of Galaxy products I had nothing to compare the programming menu to, so I did not find the programming side of things too much of a problem. Ignorance is bliss they say! I have only used alarm cable to connect the keypad to the control panel which I gather is a heinous crime for which I must punish myself MOST STRONGLY!! The keypad is only 2 foot from the panel in cable terms so I am going to risk it rather than using the recommended data cable. I will know to swap this out if much weirdness occurs! The whole point of this project was much cheapness so it all helps save the cost. If I had much dollar I would have got a pro to install a nice shinny new one with one of those touch screen panels... ooooooohhhhhhh.. Thank you all again!
matthew.brough Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Your welcome. If you get one of those touch screens you will need to wire it in twin & earth it draws that much power Unscreened alarm cable on that run will be fine. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/
gixerlad Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Ohh no, wont be buying one of those screens! Will wait till I get a prof installed version one day. Thanks though.
gixerlad Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 I thought I would post this info for confirmation / record should any other DIY'er wish to install Menvier M12 heat / smoke detector into a Galaxy 16+ control panel. So you hopefully do not have to read through this whole thread @ 3 pages. (Basically what James Wilson was kind enough to write for the shock sensor is of course the same for this, only I was being a bit slow and thick in working this out!) 1.)Connect One alarm wire to E block on detector base. 2.) Place 1 1k resistor leg also into E block on detector base. 3.) Then place other leg of this resistor into block 3. 4.) Then using a second resistor place that leg also in block 3. 5.) Place the other leg of this second resistor into block 4. 6.) Run other alarm wire from this block 4 also. (Make sure to use the correct screw/fastening point on each block in 3 and 4 as there is two on each. It will show you on the paperwork that came with your detector.)
