Power to Scantronic 9448 alarm control panel

I would use a 5A fuse in a non switched FCU with 0.75mm 3 Core flex from the FCU to the panel, preferably to a dedicated, non-RCD circuit in the consumer unit.

Chapter & verse! Thanks: appreciated.

I always use 1.0mm T&E to an unswitched fused spur. You can use fle but I find it difficult to terminate in the spur. You will only requir a 1 amp fuse in the spur as even in alarm the system will draw no mor than 600 milliamps. Take the supply from a ring main if you can, if no a lighting circuit will suffice although I don't recommend and never d it myself. Anymore info required let me know. I've been fitting thes panels for years

The max current an alarm takes is tiny - after all it will run for a long time off a small SLA battery when the mains fails. So 0.5mm flex and a 3 amp fuse will be fine. If you have larger flex lying around and it fits the connections etc use that - it won't do any harm.

There is a UK forum for alarms where you can ask alarm engineers questions

Is this of any use:

I asked them about what type of PIR to fit to my 9449 panel without success. Pyronix (the PIR supplier) were much more helpful.

Only available to trade members so of little use on a DIY group.

needed, though.

I got a slightly altered standard script both times I emailed them. Less than impressed (but the panel is ok).

Sorry F

That site holds the installation manual for my 9449 panel - with _almost_ every bit of info you need to install and maintain it and I assumed that it would be the same for your panel.
