Stye 4 wiring for fire alarm systems uses a single wire "daisy-chained" between detectors and ending with a resistor.
A type of unshielded wiring used in fire alarm systems sometimes called securex
find the wire and use a wire connector that is the same gauge as the wire.krimp the ends and you should restore power to your alarm.
There is no single wire to disable the alarm.
Intentionally damaging or tampering with a fire alarm system can be a criminal offense in many jurisdictions. The severity of the consequences, including whether or not you may go to jail, would depend on local laws and the specific circumstances surrounding the act. It is important to refrain from interfering with fire safety equipment and to report any issues to the appropriate authorities for proper handling.
snip the wire going to the alarm.
Improperly wired circuits can. If the wiring was done right, the relays would continue to function as normal. If you use too small a gauge of wire, the relays will continue to function... it's the wire itself which will overheat.
Yes, up and down relays are the same, blue wire for up (the sky), green wire for down (the grass).
To operate a relay ( I am calling "third relay") from two separate parallel control relays is called logic "or". Connect the power wire coming in to both of the paralleled relays' switch common contact. ( These relays are up to you to wire their coils and activate.) Depending on the logic required you will wire the third relay coil to the paralleled control relays normally open or normally closed contacts. That is: Do you you want the third relay to go on with the control relays activation or off?
In class A wiring, 2 wires start from alarm control panel terminal, run through fire sensors / detectors and the same 2 wires run back into the alarm control panel and get connected as 2 more wires thus there would be 4 wires at the panel totally. This would help the control panel monitor all the sensors / detectors even if a loop wire breaks in the middle. In Class B wiring, the control panel is just connected to 2 wires. These 2 wires run through fire sensors / detectors and terminate at end of line resistor. Thus if any wire breaks in between the sensors that are connected to control panel end of wire would only be monitored. The broken wire side of sensors won't be monitored
If the alarm is aftermarket, cut the power wire. If the alarm is factory, buy a new remote.
You can not just cut a wire to disable an alarm. You will have to hook that wire back up.
