neon555 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Hi guys, I've purchased myself a simple access control system and I'm fairly confident I know what I need to do. The power leads appear to not matter how they are connected (which does to + and -, as long as they are connected). One thing I want to check before I start is what type of wire I should be using to connect the components. The "Power Supply Control" is a K80 (see attached picture). The device will be outputting 12v DC (3A). I know this is not much different from the alarm system I installed a year or two ago, but I am unsure if I can use the same cable. The alarm cable is 8 core cable, so presumably I would slice it open and use a single strand - as per each required wire, but whenever something comes to electrics I always like to be 100% sure. Will I be okay to use the wire in the manner I have described. Should I use all 8 cables per connection or should I be using a totally different wire entirely (taking an AC cable and using an individual strand of that) OR shall I use something else entirely. If you could include any information - as well as possibly links - to the best wire to use, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your continued support guys, John Quote
