I am fitting a new Texecom alarm in my house. The cable I am using is
Are there any wiring colour conventions for fitting the PIRs, door sensors, keypad etc?
Thanks

If you think about it, best not to have any conventions for a burglar alarm wiring. Even within the same premises. If you dare...;-)
Not sure it is a good idea to stick to a convention even if there is one - makes it easier for someone to cut the cables and disarm sensors! I would just devise my own wiring colour scheme if installing from new, but I did follow the existing one when altering an our existing installation.
texecom have sugested colours but i changed the colours in 4 places... hope i dont loose the wiring diagram i made!

Good point chaps, i'll stick to my own random convention.

Personally, I wouldn't even have my own convention. Each individual cable would be connected up randomly, using different colours each time.
