DSC 832 wiring

[stevo]

I am planning to install an 832 panel in my new home. All will be hardwired. I plan on using at least 18 zones. I want to use 4 keypads, 2 pirs, 2 glass break.

My question is, one about wire.

keypads wire as homeruns to the panel?
2 pirs in the same room run back to the panel as homeruns
22-2 for contacts?
22-4 for pir, glassbreak and keypads?

keypads wire as homeruns to the panel?Uh-huh
2 pirs in the same room run back to the panel as homerunsThat's the best way. It gives you more flexability in the future. You could series connect them, but it's not my preferred method.
22-2 for contacts?Normally
22-4 for pir, glassbreak and keypads?Normally, but be sure to check the cut sheets for the particular ones you're planning to use.
