Al H Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Good morning everyone. First post and I’m hoping someone can recommend the best way to deal with my problem. Our house was prewired in preparation for an alarm installation. All the cables are in place around the house and just need the key pads, sounder, pirs wiring in. However the problem is that the cables terminating back to the control box site have been cut way too short. The cables will not put through any further and the flooring above is not accessible in any shape or form (wet room). I don’t want a wireless system. I’m planning on fitting a Texecom Premier Elite 24 (either Polycarbonate or metal). Any suggestions on the best, neatest way to extend the cables? The control panel will be fitted immediately to the left of the cables at the same height. See image. THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU Just join crimp , solder and extend cables etc You could bury them in wall and put a face plate on top after I would open the plaster up more towards ceiling and fit panel higher up if possible then joins can be inside panel Do you have a better picture?

Al H Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Total length of wires to ceiling is about 28cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I wouldn't extend them there is enough there for a Premier. Just open up the plaster and containment for what you need then mount the panel to cover the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put a plastic expander on the short wires Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
