Alarm cable at cu

[andyd55]

6core runs behind consumer unit and comes out at a small hole at bottom just next to the bell transformer. (Which is wired up to the door bell) the 6core runs back to store/cupboard with all other alarm cables ready to be wired in. I was just trying to figure out what the previous spark had intended this to be for. Wer the alarm is to be situated he has left a fsu which goes back t&e to the cu.

Well the answer is take your pick from everyones guess, could and can be used for any addition you wish.....my guess, on first fix of cabling they were going to fit a smoke detector.....then the sparks fitted mains detectors...so the cable has been left

From my understanding of this you have identified all the cables. Have you belled them through to identify what cable goes where ? or are you guessing ? If the 6 core core cable by the CU comes from where the alarm panel is then I would say it for the internal sounder.
There should be a cable for every sensor or door contact , 1 for the outside bell 1 for the remote keypad and 1 for the internal sounder although the internal bell is sometimes mounted next to the alarm panel

The previous spark marked all the cables up and I have buzzed through each just to check, however I was unable to locate two of them, eventually found them, one under a floor board in the loft and the other one right next to the consumer unit/door bell transformer in the utility room. I believe you are correct this was intended for internal sounder.

Would keep it, one day you might decide to add to the system

Have a look at post #7, if its high spec and everything else is accounted for that's probably ur answer, quite impressive for the alarm guys to put it in for future proofing if it is

Are you the guy that installed it declaring post #7 as correct
