Guest graale00 Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 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!!!
norman Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 There's a bit in 50131-7 about joints and soldering.. I still encase the joints in a JB, but don't use the mechanicals of them. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Paul Giles Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 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. Regards Bellman Is that the RS ones? Any more info on them, i have used some in the past for pre-wired contacts.

Mister_Dave Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Chris is there any one you dont know who can supply the odd bit of gear now and then. Dave Oxendale York based security systems engineer.
jb-eye Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 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.Dean WTF Jef Customers!
WatchdogSecurity Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 WTF Jef 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 face Watchdog Security (Manchester)
breff Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 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)
Guest Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Crimps for the 2am jobs Anyway, they are the gel filled blue ones BT use in the green roadside cabinets.
