I bought a HKC sensor today (without reed) so I have 4 wires. Red, black, blue, yellow. So I wired it as follows. Red (alarm) Black (alarm) Blue (tamper) Yellow (tamper) Spare Spare I left the last 2 spare empty and now it says open zone. Have I wired it wrong? If so where should each core go.

Zones 5,6,7 and 8 can be configured to use point ID sensors but are set up as ordinary zones for all types of sensors as standard. The keypad has a built in panic button so no need to wire a panic in beside the keypad. * plus # are used to activate this. The expander is wired into the panel on the keypad bus.

Two wires, one in, one out and one loop With the hkc, had to he first two terminals as a loop (as it happens, another contact for another window), next two tamper, and the last two the alarm wires Couldn't get it to work for love nor money
