Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum and been spending a lot of time here to plan my home security system for the new home we are building. The drywall would go in some time next week. I've already completed most of my low voltage wiring except alarm.
I'd like to get my alarm wiring done over the weekend.
Here is what I'm thinking. Please let me know your suggestions.
1. 6 combo smoke/co2 detectors - daisy chained to one zone - Do I need a 22k EOLR? I'm thinking about getting System Sensor COSMO-4W. Do I need COSMOD-4w for this setup? Wire size: 22/4 stranded
2. WIndows surface magnetic contacts: We have some wood windows in the front of the house without any flat face on the inside to mount the contacts. Will try to add some pictures. Would Tane Pill Mini contacts work? -Wire size: 22/2 stranded
3. 2 Heat detectors - one in garage and one in attic. Do they go in single zone or daisy chained? - Looking at System Sensor Fixed Temp/Rate-of-Rise Single-Circuit Mechanical Heat Detector 5602. Is it a good choice? : 18/4 FPLP??
4. Motion sensors and Glass breakers each on its independent zone. - Wire: 22/4 stranded - recommendation please.
Here is the list I have with wiring info. I'm think I have too many glass breakers and motion sensors in my design. I will add some pictures and floor plan soon. still trying to figure out how to add pictures here..
