    Hi All,

    I'm getting new windows and front door put in over the next two weeks and the alarm system in place at the moment is an unmonitored Phonewatch Concord. What's the best/cheapest way of getting the sensors transferred over? Are these wired or wireless?

    Thanks, Griff

    Its straight forward to do as the devices on the Concord are wire free.
    Mark sensors to be removed so you know what window or door they are been returned too.
    When you open the device the alarm will activate so just put in your code to silence.

    Thanks for the help. Are they screwed in or can they just be stuck on do you know?

    Thanks, I wouldn't be mad about/proficient enough to drill into the new upvc windows so I'll probably use some kind of adhesive

    With the base of the GE sensors 2 screws would be the better option than trying to stick onto a window frame.

    I wouldn't recommend sticking them up. Certain types of adhesive may dampen the effect of inertia sensors. Others may do much more damage to your windows than a half inch screw.
