Extending alarm cable

[liam b]

Hi

im half way through wiring an extension and just been asked to extend the door sensor but ive never touched alarms before. Can i cut the cable and extend it before the sensor so i dont have to rewire it then just put the code in when im done to stop the alarm sounding?

Cheers

Screwfix do the small 6way alarm JB use one of these if you can't replace cable from source

If I remember correctly set the panel to test mode then as long as you connect up ok you should be fine. Be aware some alarm systems work on the resistance of the whole circuit so extending/joining it might cause a permanent fault condition.

If I remember right.
