July 4, 201114 yr Just installed the Accenta G4 panel and all worked well. a few days later a fault occured to the entry/exit. Problem is break to the pair of contact wire. Replace with the spare and makes and break but the problem is the panel does not register open/close of the contact but ok with the multimeter. Another factor that I can assume is new carpet was fitted and wonder if the fitter damaged the cable which I think would be most likely as it was all working fine before the carpet was fitted. No short between contact wire and tamper wire. Any help would be grateful. I will run a temp cable this weekend and see what happens.
July 6, 201114 yr I would suggest there is a voltage on the circuit wire, you can use your multi meter to confirm. If you try your temp cable that will prove it to be a cable issue.

I think you have answered your own question, that is to run a temporary cable.
August 17, 201114 yr Author Yes as I thought the carpet fitter put a nail through my entry/exit cable and damaged the blue wire and shorting another.Luckily I had run a 6 core and had spare. All ok now. Thanks for all who responded.
