    I have a couple of hkc rf-c sensors but would prefer to have shock sensors aswell. Can i buy the piece for the shock sensing and add it to the rf-c to make it a shock / contact sensor or whats the best way to do it.
    Also with a big bay window with 2 openings both sides small on top and big on bottom would i need to use a couple of sensors?
    Thanks

    You can buy the heads but the cradle that holds them in place I havent seen as a part you can buy.
    Alternately you could buy a HKC standard shock sensor, cut away the lead with the head and connect into the sensor, cradle would be in new wired sensor.

    Yes, if you buy the standard shock sensor that will have the head and the cradle.
