    Anyone know if it's possible to change out a faulty astec entry contact for a 49dv with either a standard contact or standard shock only

    A standard shock sensor will work fine. Series in the tamer & the zone on the same pair. To use a standard contact you will need to wire a 680 ohm resistor across the contact.

    No
    You will need a contact with 2 680ohms in parallel across a contact on the front door. You will also need to ensure the sensor on that door is programmed as access.

    Grand job save changing the whole system at the min think I'll get few squid together and change down the road just for future ref will point ids work with the current sensors or am I better off just swapping everything for shocks on dual eol

    Stay away from point ID is my advice. I , personally have found them more hassle than they are worth. They wont work on this system anyway.
    If you are looking at upgrading the GSD i70 lets you use your existing Astec zone while giving you the benefit of changing entire zones to standard & having wireless as well.

    Have you had much to do with the 10/70 panel was thinking of moving over to hkc and doing away with the astec have worked on the 8/12 just wondering if the 10/70 as handy to get around menu wise

    Nothing wrong with that panel and the programming would be very similar to the 8/12 etc.

    Yes , for entry exit contact its 2 680 ohms in parallel across the reed only.
