    I just installed a wireless alarm and its working fine its a Visonic powermax+
    I have a window with two openings and my wireless contact covers one opening. There is an aux input on the wireless contact and I want to wire this contact to the aux, I bought this contact in Maplins. There are four wires, black, yellow, red and blue.
    What I need to know is what wires do I connect to the aux on the wireless contact?
    Tia.

    I take it you dont have a multi-meter to check the continuity. The alarm circuit is probably red & yellow and the tamper circuit black & blue. Connect in the red & yellow and see if it works.

    I thought I had this sorted but no such luck.
    I can only get it to work on one opening, The wireless contact is a powermax+ MCT-302 if you know how to get this working on the two openings I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

    You might need to play around with the jumpers in the sensor. Which contact is not working

    The aux contact
    when I enroll the mct 302 I get the "happy" tune but the aux gives a "sad"
    I know:)

    Finally figured it out! each opening must be enrolled on a separate zone
    the one transmitter can send a code for each opening.
