    16/2 - Can I double up the wires with 18/4?

      I'm not sure yet what is going to be used for the drapery motors.  I decided to play it safe and run some 14/2 speaker wire I had available.  Thanks for the help!

    16/2 - Can I double up the wires with 18/4?

    So I need to pre-wire for power to drapes.  I believe I need 16/2 to the corner of each drape location.  Can I run 18/4 and use two wires for each 'leg' to get the equivalent (or a bit better) to 16/2?   Thanks!

    So ... should I use direct burial wire even though I have PVC conduit?  Various forums indicate the conduit will fill up with water and direct burial wire will protect from this problem.    Thanks.

    Voice, Data, Video Tester Needed

    I'm looking for a decent tester for voice, data and video.  Something under $300.  I've been looking at this from Ideal:   http://www.idealindustries.com/products/datacomm/testers/vdvpro.jsp   Not sure if I need the kit with the terminator or the probe.  Suggestions?  Other brands?

    eKeypad controlling Elk controlling Nuvo?

      1 - I contacted eKeypad support a few weeks ago regarding Nuvo support.  The response was they are working to get demo equipment and it's high priority for them.   2 - I have used Elk Tasks and Outputs to send commands (On, Off, Volume Up, Volume Down) to my Russound system.  I assume it would...

    Central Monitoring Basics with POTS line

    Could someone explain the basics for Elk wiring and setup for monitoring via a phone line?  I have my Elk panel installed and operational.  I also have the Elk RJSET Telco Jack and In-line surge protector.  I'll most likely use one of the national CS companies like NextAlarm or AlarmRelay.  This...

    Pre-wire for a Unattached Garage

      Thanks.  Can I use the databus to control the overhead door opener?  I thought that needed a separate 18 awg wire.

    Pre-wire for a Unattached Garage

    Thank you for the help.  For now I think I will skip the XIN and XOVR expense but pull enough wire in case I want to add them later.  Here's my current plan:      22/4 - Split between the two contacts (Overhead Door and Side Door)      22/4 - Motion Detector      Cat5 - To Keypad (planning to...
