Security Alarm Install

[David Reason]

Hello am i right in thinking its ok to spur off a plug socket to FCU with 2.5 twin and earth the 1.5mm flex to the Security alarm panel ? am i right in thinking reason i want to do this is because there is no space in the CU

Or come off the lights in 1mm to a 3 a spur

Tin hat on

 

[David Reason]

0.75 flex protected by a 3A fuse

 

[David Reason]

i can't come off the lights they have no earth

 

[camerabloke]

Spur off sockets it is then. Try not to come off boiler circuit

no need for 1.5mm flex from FCU. 0.75mm on a 3A fuse is adequate.

I posted that in post 4 Tel but came to the conclusion that he had the 1.5 flex already by post 7.

i can only blame skimming posts and maybe 4 pints.

only reason is that 0.75 mm is easier to get into the alarm panel. whichever you use, the ends should be ferruled.
