Envisalink 3 with Vista 15P alarm panel - wiring question.
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 1:25 pm
I have a wiring question re: this installation
I am trying to wire the EVL3 into my alarm system. I have a 15P and two Honeywell 5150 keypads
Because of the location of the alarm panel (15P) far away from where my internet network connections are, instead, I have ran a 4 wire alarm 22gauge cable from one of the Honeywell keypads to where I can plug in a network cable.
I believe I can hook up the EVL3 board to the same wire as the Honeywell 5150 keypad but I am not sure how..... Do I just plug 'two 4 strand wires each' into the Honeywell board so that each wiring connection on the keypad has two yellows/two black/two green and two reds going into them.(with one set going back to the panel and one going to the EVL board? or instead, do I run one 4 prong wire from the Honeywell keypad, and 'twist-join' with a 'cap' the three wires together (Honeywell keypad wire, wire to alarm panel, and the EVL wire)?
Which is the preferred method?
Will either of these work?
Any help would be appreciated.
