    The contact is wired in series on a circuit.

    The two silver would be the alarm, the other three are terminals blocks for joining additional contacts or closing of the tamper loop.

    Is this for a front door or another zone?

    On a rear door you should really be using an inertia/contact.
    The resistors used are 4K7.

    Here is some old diagrams I did for using duel end of line.
    Remember you need to set up the zone hardware for duel end of line, 4k7.
