Wire Alarm?

TBH I don't really understand myself.

The engineer did come out shortly afterwards.

He had to open the Main Box and reroute the wire for the new sensors to a different part of the terminal block end. I don't think he needed to reprogram anything.

He charged €50 so it wasn't that bad.

What probably happened, was that the original sensor was wired into zone 5 or 6 which cannot be programmed for shocks...I guess he just wired it into one of the other zones that you have in the house with a shock sensor in it...that way he doesn't need the eng code and its being monitored in another zone.
