    How are these supposed to be wired ?

    There is nothing about them in the manual .

    Its the 2 in one sensor I'm talking about here.

    Should they take up 2 zones ? I'm not shy on zones so thats the way I have them working now but I dont think its right.

    Thanks

    Is it just the one device or multiple devices

    As asked is it just one device back to the control panel or is there a number of devices looped?

    Also are you using EOL configuration or non EOL?

    You can find this in the zone hardware setting in the engineer menu.

    Thanks for the replies,

    No EOL (i can if needed). Just one device on this wire (6 core).

    Take the terminals as numbers 1-6 top to bottom.

    Then it's just a pair into tamper 3 and 4

    Pair for zone 1 and 2

    And loop out 5 and 6

    Sorry Koolkid ,

    I've a feeling I'm missing something obvious here.

    So you are saying that each unit takes up two zones at the panel ? (one for the inertia & one for the contact).

    forgetting about the tamper for the moment,

    No one zone.

    One pair for the zone and one pair for the tamper. By looping 5 and 6 you are seriesing the sensor and contact into the one zone.

    I was sure I tried them in series.

    I'll take another look!

    Thanks again.

    To make it simple.

    1 Red

    2 Black

    3 Blue

    4 Yellow

    At the panel.

    Zone : Red and Black

    Tamper: Blue and Yellow
