I have to replace the sensor on a living room window as the external casing broke and now there is a fault.
I need help with the wiring of the new sensor as it has six terminals and the previous sensor had seven terminals. On the old sensor there were two loops as per photo and I have a black, red and yellow wire.
Can anyone advise how the wiring would go on the new sensor please?
I have the engineer code and the system is in service menu mode.
Also, will the system recognise the new sensor as a replacement for the old or will it need to be programmed?
thanks in advance.

They are 2 different sensors.
Top one is an ID sensor, the second a global sensor.
You will need engineer access to the alarm system to delete and add a new point ID sensor
