Wiring a PIR on the same zone as sensors & contacts

Hello,

I have a HKC securewatch, 6 zone. I want to add a PIR, but all 6 zones are used. Can I add a PIR on to a zone that already has sensors and contacts on it?

No, it is not advisable to do it this way.

What you could do is add 2 zones together if your putting less than 10 devices on the one loop.
Another option is to add two point ID zone modules to the alarm. One will be for the PIR and the other for the sensors on the loop.

Do you have the engineer code for your panel? If you do you could add a 4 zone expander to this panel. Think they are about 35-40 euro. Allows for future expansion also.

Cheapest option would be to group two zones together and install the PIR on the spare.
You may need the eng code to set up the PIR after
