Hi

Your probably going to wire end of line (EOL), and fit resistors. No standard to colours but if you go red black for power, blue yell for first device, green white for second and brown orange for third (one cable three devices) you should be okay.

Tamper Yellow and Blue

12v Ov Green and white

We used to use:

Green: + White: -

Red & Yellow: Zone

Blue & Black: Tamper unless EOL.

A large local round here [started in the 70's now sold out] used to do it that way. Is that not the old modern alarms way?

yep the old modern way.
