New Home Construction Environments

Saturday, June 30, 20120 Comments

New home construction facilitates the location of hard-wired security system
wiring and components during the early phase of the construction. Structured
wiring in new homes supports most of the needs of a well-planned multizone
security system. Phone lines, coaxial cable, and Category 5 cable are components
of a structured wiring installation. They provide the basis for integrating
the security system with the computer network and other home automation systems. 

The exception is the wiring for door, window, and motion detector sensors. Inexpensive two-conductor wire must be installed in the interiors of walls between the controller location and each sensor. In addition, two-pair #22- gauge wire must be installed for all low-voltage powered sensors such as motion
detectors.

One pair is used for power and the other pair is used for signaling.
