Can't say I've ever tinned the ends, I always twist the cables tightly together and snip the top off, seems to do the trick.........so far!!!

I never solder / tin panel connections in case modifications need to be done at some point in the future.

Joints, for example in a pir to add extra ccts are either soldered or crimped with 99a crimps. :yes:

Is that the RS ones?

Any more info on them, i have used some in the past for pre-wired contacts.

What i usually do if i need to carry on to another detector, is break In the the cable by just leaving a loop in the first detector and then breaking the sleaving cutting the ones you want leaving the ones to carry through, but if its an addon, i would be able to do this, i always solder and either heat shrink (If i have any) or tape up.

So you have never done this.... ie when you supply a PVC window with 1 cable and hide inside the plastic window, so you dont see the wires, and you have a contact and a siesmic, you let the wires carry through to the Contact or vice versa, that way they DONT have to be joined.

Nothing wrong with that Jef, so why the :no: face

I agree with you Watchdog, Maybe Jef got the wrong end of the stick, or never back to backs 2 pirs on 1 cable!

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
