Hi - Was hoping someone could clarify my wiring here is correct.

 

Replaced an Arrowhead ESL2 board which has Swan Quad PIR sensors with a Paradox MG5050.
Everything remained apart from the board switch over so kept the existing sensors

 

Noticed that that existing wiring of the Swan Quad PIR's where showing as open on the Paradox.Existing wiring with Arrowhead ESL2 board which worked fine. Under the Paradox - It was showing as open until we switched out the resistors (wiring the same) - 

 

 

Looked liked it worked - ie. PIR was triggering as expected etc. but tamper was not firing.
So played with some options and came up with new wiring - 

 

 

This uses two EOL resistors and the resistors supplied with the MG5050 board. Its worked perfectly.
If the cover is removed, the tamper is triggering as a trouble and working well and so does the PIR.

 

Is this wiring correct? I have seen diagrams where there is simply a loop cable run between the second tamper and the relay as opposed to a resistor?

 

Thanks

Yep that second image looks correct, assuming the resistors are the correct value. This is a diagram I have been using to build a local DIY alarm system which agrees with your wiring;

Thanks - I guess the only difference is that I am using the same resistors across the terminals. Hoping that is OK?

Depends on the alarm panel I think - that will be monitoring the voltage drop on the wires and will have thresholds for different states - but if it is working then it sound like you are in business!

Second pic is correct.

 

1K inline (EOL resistor) and 1k across the relay.

 

If you are getting in to zone doubling you need a 2K2 across the relay and no EOL.

Your wiring is fine both do same jobs, the difference is single end of line and double end of line, single being 1 resistor and double is 2 resistors

Also zone doubling is different zones 1 to 5 is 1k resistor and zones 6 to 10 2k2 resistor with tamper 1k over both high and low zones for the tamper resistance only 1 1k for 2 zones( meaning tamper 1k, relay 1 zone 1 1k, relay 2 zone 6 2k2)

Thanks for everyone that has replied and confirmed my wiring is correct. Its certainly working OK :). Have run lots of tests.

Make sure to seal the Cable entry hole if its not a snug fit to the sheath as Spiders just love to crawl in and wreak havoc...
