And also, its wired with 4 core wire? I have some wire I used for the RS485 bus lying around and could use that. Is that OK? Thanks again!

Ok great, thanks for your help!

Hi again. I did find G2-12 kits separate from the G2-20 kits from Honeywell so I guess I was wrong in my assumption? I cannot find an online installation manual for the G2-12 though, do you know where I can find one? Thanks again!

Hi, From my understanding, I have a G2-20 which only allows 12 zones out of the box (as does the G2-44). You have to use a RIO expander box on the RS485 bus to get up to 20 zones on the G2-20 and up to 44 on the G2-44. Is this right? I referred to my unit as the G2-12 as I have seen it referred to as that online - but I think that naming is misleading/wrong. Am I on the right track or am I still confused?! Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. How short is a short run? It will be maybe 15-20m. Will that be OK? Thanks again!

Hi, I am going to upgrade my Galaxy G2-12 wired system to a wireless system. The list of components I think I need to purchase are in another thread where I was asking about compatibility :- http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/forums/topic/4414-ticket-question-wireless-peripherals-with-g2-12/ and are reposted here :- - Honeywell C079-2 RF Portal - Honeywell CP051-00-01 MK8 keyprox - Honeywell C072 Boxed RIO expander - 3x Honeywell TCC8M wireless keyfob - Honeywell SMB10 Motion sensor mounts - RS485 Bus wire : Twisted pair screen cable Belden 8723 equivalent - 680 Ohm resistors - 4x Honeywell DO8M - Door - 5x Honeywell IRPI8M - IR - 6x Honeywell DF8M - Smoke - 2x Honeywell CO8M - Carbon Monoxide My question is about the wiring on the RS485 bus. I know it has to be daisy chained and the manual shows 2 examples of daisy chained and twin daisy chained. Because of the layout of the house I would like to do twin daisy chained with 2 peripherals on one side. Daisy Chain from the manual : Twin Daisy Chain from the manual : My Suggested wiring : Is my diagram correct? Will it work? Hope you can help and thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your response. I thought number of zones may be an issue. My current shopping list is as follows :- Honeywell C079-2 RF Portal Honeywell CP051-00-01 MK8 keyprox Honeywell C072 Boxed RIO expander 3x Honeywell TCC8M wireless keyfob Honeywell SMB10 Motion sensor mounts RS485 Bus wire : Twisted pair screen cable Belden 8723 equivalent 680 Ohm resistors 4x Honeywell DO8M - Door 5x Honeywell IRPI8M - IR 6x Honeywell DF8M - Smoke 2x Honeywell CO8M - Carbon Monoxide So I have 17 Wireless sensors. My understanding is that if I connect the C072 Boxed RIO, that will give me the total of 20 wireless zones - which are just used for sensors. I swapped the Dualtec IR sensors in my original list for an older model as they apparantly require G2 firmware to be at v1.50 and over. My firmware is at v1.42 and I don't want to get into firmware flashing. All the information that I could find suggested that everything in the above list is compatible with my firmware. Is this a sensible list? Will it all work together? Hope you can help, and thanks again.....
