Honeywell Galaxy Flex 20 > PIR Wiring

[RevolvingSteve]

Hi All,

Hoping someone is familiar with the Honeywell Galaxy Flex 20 System?

Ive purchased one to fit at the new house as its something I have had an interest in..... However, I might have bitten off more than I can chew!

I have 3 different wiring instructions from the panel instructions, PIR instructions and general alarm fitting guide. Im trying to validate I have the correct PIR wiring method before wiring up the 10 PIR's! The PIR's are DT8012F5's with 6 terminals.

From what I can work out the PIR's should be wired as the image I have drawn. Can someone just confirm before I spend the day wiring them up wrong!

that looks fine but you shouldn't really loop from the 0v of the detector for a circuit loop. Use another core

[RevolvingSteve]

Ok, so take the brown core for example into NC and pair it into 0v with the yellow at the board?

Yes , not familiar with flex 20 but don't they have a seperate zero volts aux power ?

[RevolvingSteve]

Not sure exactly what that means, the terminals on the board go as per the diagram in the first post, instructions state 0v in between the zone terminals to be used for V-

 

?

Your diagram is fine. There's only one common 0v on the galaxy, as per all Galaxy, so your link in the detector is fine. Detectors these days are very low current, so there is seldom any need to double up power cores.

Many thanks GalaxyGuy for the confirmation, appreciate your time, sure it won't be the last question!

If I need to wire 2 x PIR into 1 zone, do I do this in parallel?

Why would you do that on a flex 20

 

List all your circuits?

[RevolvingSteve]

Im going to run out of PIR zones as there are only 12 on the board.  'Garage' for example I am happy to have both PIR on 1 zone.  Thought that was OK, but please advise if Im being dumb!
