This is 24V and need to cable up between closer and switched supply.

I have checked the supply does go off with a fire alarm!

What cable should I use? I'd rather use something other than mains cable
to differentiate between mains and ELV.


I used telephone cable. I ran six pairs from the wiring centre to the
front door, and just used one of those.

The current draw isn't great (on mine, anyway) and the duty cycle is low.
