[r.b]

What are the terminations like inside a main burglar alarm panel? Regarding the bell box,keypad,door contacts and sensors for a house burglar alarm?.Do each of these above mentioned have their own seperate terminals inside the main panel normally?terminals for the bell box terminals for the keypad etc?

 

[Manator]

In short yes, the alarm panel is just an housing for a PCB, with silcone chips on board rather like your PC at home. Each terminal will have a comunication pathway so all the connections can be monitored.

 

[boltonsparky]

The only ones you usually have to make your own connections for are the global tamper (apart from the first and last which are on the PCB).

yes^ and also if you have more than 1 contact/detector/sensor on a azone

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Standard systems are as stated above. However many systems now use additional junction  boxes (given various names depending on the manufacturer) that connect with a twisted pair and numerous items such as sounders, bells detectors, keypads etc connect to them. Some pick up local power rather than  the main panel.  Other sytems multiplex or use resistors connected across terminals so the old 6 wires, are now reduced to only 3 needed.
