i need to move an elk m1 panel about 30 feet for a remodel.
all zone inputs are common to the negative battery terminal.....
so was considering using 18/8 tstat wire to move 7 zones at a time to simplify wiring. (7 zone +, one common neg that is split back out at the panel.
the guys at elk werent too happy about it, but i dont see any actual technical reason why it would be any problem at all (and in fact reduces the number of splices/ points of failure).
am i missing something?
btw. 48 zones, eaiser to pull 7 wires vs 48 or some fancy expensive multiple pair structured wire
