I assume one 6 way can't do both jobs?


Hard wired preferred as I'm frightened of relying on wi-fi:-)


I'm curious about this button? Not covered in the alarm instructions?


Sorry. Keypad. Terminology issue!

I haven't purchased an alarm, just laying in suitable cable ready for
someone else to finalise.



The Texecom keypad that I have allows up to two alarms to be attached to
it. The keypad itself needs 4 wires, two of which are for power.

Only my PIRs and fire alarms need 4 wires, two of which are power which
can be shared. Door alarms are just two wire.
