Re: Adding a third keypad to a Caddx NX-8, wiring help requested!



I know...but I love to live dangerously! Pull the rods Fred!

Let's see in 20+ years and with  4000 residential alarms installed with an
average of 3 keypads per home...12,000 keypad runs, lets say 75 ft runs to
each 900,000 feet of solid wire run (lets subtract out the few that I did
run stranded) and round it out to 850,000 feet and never a problem with
solid keypad wires. I could also calculate device wiring runs as well :-)

I think the stranded v. solid issue is largely urban legend. If you wire the
system properly you'll have no problem with either...and there's pro's and
con's for each.
