I have a veritas 8 system and one of the detectors is faulty not working. I tested power to the PIR and that is ok, a friend gave me a brand new bosch quad detector, and would be great if i could use this, could someone advise what resistor i would need to use if i can use it at all?
an nick,alarm guy,acorn,and myself are here when we are needed.

nicks reply was patronising and rude,fair enough he did apologise ,mabe he had a bad day,but technically he was way out of line.

and am not being smart,just basic physics.so nick,if your going to give advice,make it accurate.:-)

ac is more properly called unidirectional dc,as the sine wave shows it goes from positive to negative,check it out on an oscilloscope.nick should know that,by cutting into the sine wave we get ac.that is how the washing machine manufactures use dc motors on the earlier washing machines they fit a dc module to control the speed of the motor.so david dont be put off by the reply you got from nick.

Were you bored Nick?
We may take the pee out of questions, but your really scraping the bottom of the scum infested barrel here.
At least be witty in a retort.
Are you a catfish or a bottom scum feeder?

By the way David, there isnt power at any detector, All detectors run on DC voltage. Power is Watts. Sorry ive probably lost you,
Just a very clever engineer being clever.

yes you can use it,you dont need a resistor,just wire it up same way as your old pir
