Good evening gentlemen,
Sorry if this has been beaten to death or it's total newb flame bait but...
I have a new building that's going up and have it mostly wired with LV for a security system - although what I asked to have done for the smokes wasn't. From what I gather (trying to do this from 200+ miles away through second hand information) the electrician did a single series loop. This should cover 12 smoke locations across the building. This is where it gets sloppy...
They want the building inspected and obviously I haven't ordered anything yet. Problem is the smokes were supposed to be tied to the non-existent security system. So now I'm thinking of getting 11 GE 350s and one 350CX. At that point I guess I'm still a little unclear on the wiring - and am wondering what it would look like if one was to do it right. Basically I'm fed up with the whole ordeal and just want all the smokes to sound when one is triggered. But does the CX placement matter? I'm guessing it's at the end of the line and then somehow use the Form A relay to loop it back through to make the circuit / break the circuit?
Help?
TIA!
