kwano888 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Need help wiring the Exodus smoke detector to my Accenta G4 panel. Been doing some research but need someone to clarify the best way. Seen some people using resistors but no idea why ! I see from the G4 instructions that I can use zone 7 or 8 to connect other than the designated fire connections on the board. Also seen this diagram picked up on here too : Thanks in advance. Quote
al-yeti Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Ignore resistors for now and stick the alarm loop on relay contacts , tamper can be global running through each device but you can look at that after this is just to get your zone working Resistors for eol better than standard wiring without Quote
sixwheeledbeast Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Your panel doesn't use EOL resistors. Connect A&B to your zone. Program your zone for Fire. Check it works. Is there a reason you have chosen an Exodus instead of other options? Quote
Nova-Security Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Is there a fire zone on an Accenta Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Is there a fire zone on an AccentaNot sure. I expect so, a G3 has. Quote
james.wilson Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 yeah 7 and 8 can be progged as fire Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Your panel doesn't use EOL resistors. Connect A&B to your zone. Program your zone for Fire. Check it works. Is there a reason you have chosen an Exodus instead of other options? The chap from the electrical wholesalers seem to rate them and apparently a good seller. Had a look online too and appear to get good feedback. I suppose as long it does its job what more can you ask from smoke detector ! Is there a fire zone on an AccentaYes. Well not sure ! On the board there's 3 connections s : 13v, 0v, and fire.yeah 7 and 8 can be progged as fireThanks all guys. So its a case of connecting to the A and B relay contacts together with + & - and that should do the trick. Quote
al-yeti Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 No Relay of smoke contacts connect to zone contacts +&- goto +&- on the panel dc Programme zones as fire zone 7&8 as said by jw Unless that's what you meant anyway lol just seems as if your going to blow it up...... Quote

Yes that's what I meant lol ! BTW how do pro installers connect all there multiple red (+) and black (-) wires ? Is best practice to bunch them into a double block connector first then link it to the board ? Trying to keep it nice tidy as possible ☺ Quote
