no, because if you get a fault, then you've got to cut the connections out. terminal strip is easiest as you can the undo. thing is, you get called out at midnight to a tamper fault, you ain't going all round the system to find it, you identify the faulty loop and short it out pending further investigation.

Right. And as far as I know it does not matter what way you have the colours in a tamer terminal. Is this correct?

don't matter. i generally connect blue to yellow then have a blue and yellow into the panel. but itdon't matter if you go blue to blue and yellow to yellow, as long as the loops are all in series.

I normally use Red and Black for power Yellow and Blue for zone and Green and White for tamper. But thanks very much, I hope it all goes well when I do this install. I have done upgrades but never a full install and I have a good understanding but I didn't about the series loops.

i've always used gn/w for 12V as that leaves b/bk and r/y for the zone and tamper loops. however, it's more common to use r/bk as 12V, as that is a general +/-. end of the day, it's up to you as long as you remember what's what.

Thanks you have been a great help! I just hope it all goes well now.
