Title: Integrating existing hardwired system with Protector Plus
Post by: joe28 on December 01, 2006, 12:24:57 AM

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and would like to know if it is possible to integrate hardwired magnetic sensors from my existing system with the Protector Plus system.

The DS10A door/window sensors are also magnetic Normally Closed (N.C.) switches, so if your existing sensors are N.C. then you should be able to just remove the DS10A's sensor and replace it with yours.

OK, but the Protector System appears to be totally wireless.  How do I connect the wires from my existing switches, which are by the way NC.

Remove the sensor that is wired to the DS10A, then attach the 2 wires (from the DS10A) to the 2 wires from your existing switch. This will make your existing switch wireless for the DS7000 system.

Do this for each of your existing switches.

You'll need the wire less window/door switches model DS10A

You can get 6 for $29   (http://www.x10.com/onsale/index.html) now! :D ;D

scroll half way down the page!

Then conect your switches to these as Puck  stated!
