I have accidently cut through wire between control unit (Veritas) and sensor when laying flooring. How do I repair and do I need to switch off power to control unit first, if so how as I presume it will have a back up battery?
tape after a while loosens off,you may then get a short circuit and posibly a fire,so get yourself an 8 way junction box,do the job right,and yes,12 volts can cause a fire.

dont use tape,use a proper junction box,or you will have probs in the future,remove the power,battery and mains incase you cause a short circuit,also replace the blown fuse in the panel,then,you will be good to go,
