A local tech shop in town that provides mainly surveillance systems approached me with a job offer only thing is I'm more if a networking guy, thanks for the video dropped a sub look forward to more resources for study in case I get selected
Wish you Luck on the job, There are various ways to study check out ohms law and normally open and normally closed circuits. Also look for basic of wireing security systems
Hi Michael. Wow! I learned a lot today. I had to replace a battery in a panel. I'm not sure if the Batt is bad... but i noticed a wire from the step down transformer to the panel had became disconnected (i think). Neg and pos should be hooked up to panel and transformer... right? Its not meant for anything crazier than that... right? Oh yea there was no adapter such as a barrel connecter just 2 wires screwed to screw posts on panel board per power.
Thank you for watching the video! Could you email us some pictures of what you are explaining to our email provided in the video. We will see if we can assist you further!
Oh my God you are so awesome I just knocked out the transformer with my vacuum cleaner I love you!!! I'm a grandmother and really this is the only time I want to be married when I have to figure something like this out!! You saved me 🤣🤣🤣♥️
Hi Jane! It's good to know our video was helpful. We provide this information in part for just such situations as yours. If you're ever in the market to have your system monitored, or to switch monitoring, please consider our plans. www.alarmgrid.com/monitoring
The transformer electrically isolates the low voltage from the high voltage mains. Please explain the need for the earth wire on the LV side of the power supply thats connected to the alram circuit board. Can my alarm cause my RCD to trip?
I have 4 wires red black yellow and green and need to wire it back to the transformer for my alarm can you tell me what color go together it is a class 2 transformer
So currently I am using a old LED light cord to "power" my panel. Its 20 AWG and I have it wiring correctly into the panel but it isn't turning on. When the cord is plugged into the outlet the panel doesn't do anything. Is it because I am using an old wire and I need to buy an actual transformer or is it a keypad problem?
Hey Maddix, Have you checked voltages from the wall where the adapter plugs in, adapter Voltage out and at the panel AC in terminals. As long as the transformer has correct voltage in from the wall outlet and out to the panel. 20 AWG wire within a few feet of the panel should be ok. If the voltages are incorrect, a transformer might be needed.

intersting video,, how i wish you tutorial about HVAC to fire alarm system
Thanks from Indiana USA! Your 'easy to follow' video just saved me $125.00.
Yay! You are quite welcome.
What type of wire should I use to connect the transformer to the panel? I need to purchase the wire.
The majority of installations would use 18-gauge 2-conductor wire when connecting the transformer to the alarm panel.
Good class man.. thanks for sharing!
Nicely explained - thanks Dude!

Most commonly used is red and black. make sure that red and black are used at the panel aswell.
