Secware Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I purchased a Honeywell Accenta Metal Gen4 Control Panel and Viper GLX Shock Sensors from you a couple of years ago (Order #16133). I am only getting around to installing the alarm system now and I have a query which I hope you can answer. Before I bought the house, part of the house had already been pre-wired with 4-core alarm cable. One of the pre-wired zones at the rear of the house is wired with 4-core cable and the sensor points are linked in series, i.e. the alarm circuit and tamper circuit are both linked in series. The cables to each sensor are connected under a tiled floor, so the junction box is impossible to access without breaking tiles. As the sensor locations are linked in series, I cannot use the powered (Viper GLX) sensors I purchased without running in a new cable, which I want to avoid if possible, as it will involve a lot of re-decorating. Is there an alternative shock sensor I can use with the Accenta Gen4 panel that will work on 4-core wiring linked in series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secware_Tech6 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yes you need a non powered sensor such as the aritech units. However you will need an analyser to use such detectors with your panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
