Hi guys. Just a quick one. Doing the electrical work on an extension and they used to have a garden shed with an alarm sensor in it. I want to remove the sensor from the system but wondering what's the correct way to do it. The sensor has a +,-, tamper and N.C in it. So do I just bridge out that sensor's N.C terminals in the alarm box and disconnect the rest? Used to work on the odd alarm in NZ but you had to put a resistor in the sensor circuits or bridge it out with a resistor but this one doesn't seem to have resistors? Cheers!!
 
If its on its own zone just disconnect from panel and fit a link to the Zone terminals and if it has an independent tamper then a link needs fitting to these terminals .... if you panel has a shared global tamper then disconnect the 2 tamper wires off the system and join together the 2 points that you disconnected it from.

A pic of panel terminals will help us to point out the correct action.

Cheers Darkwood! Haven't got a pic but I think from memory, the tampers from all the zones went into the same 2 connector blocks. So I'll disconnect the +, - and the tamper for that zone, and link out the zone terminals. Will take a pic tomorrow/fri if I can't get it sorted but think I've it covered. Many thanks mate!!
