Aritech window contact

doink

Hi Folks,

Looking for a bit of info regarding an aritech window contact if someone could help.

I have an aritech contact with a combined reed and inertia sensor.I was wondering how these are wired up.I have a 4 core cable which is looped to each window.there is 8 terminals on the contact.

2 for tamper,2 for the inertia, 4 for the reed(2 of these spare).

I have 2 cables connected at the panel for the alarm(red and black) and 2 for tamper(blue and yellow).

At the contact i have red going into 1 of the reed terminals and looped to 1 of the inertia terminals.i have black going into the 2nd reed terminal which is looped to the 2nd inertia terminal.blue into one of the tamper terminals and yellow into the other.

Can anybody let me know if this sounds correct?

Thanks in advance

It needs to be wired in series. Red into reed 1, loop of cable from reed 2 into inertia head and black wired into inertia head to close off the loop.
