matt6697 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Hi, After inspecting the wiring from a previous installation I've noticed that the person who installed the wiring originally has used an 8 core cable to supply two detectors, and connect the global tamper in series which to me seems acceptable, but they have also spured the 12V supplies from one detector to anther. Would this be acceptable if I left it as it is?, as each zone will still be independent from one another?, just to be honest I've never really come across many cases like this and if it was me I would use a 6 core cable for each detector!

breff Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 No problemo, you are lucky they didnt wire 5 detectors off of 1 8core 1 Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
timmo66 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 lol, our old boy used to love 12core. The amount of JBs I'd have to hunt out when upgrading controls and making FSL. Quote
BUSTER Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 We bought a company 20 years ago and they thought 12 core was king Quote Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company
al-yeti Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Someone say 12core , I remember some bloke talking about cheap 12core Quote
WDT Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I hope we are not going to start on the cheap 12 core cable, But it did give me a laugh and give me something to read everynight Quote
