Guide Or Explanation Of How To Wire A Door Contact

[virdi]

You can do what you like as its DIY but tamper is there for a reason and its not a good idea to bypass it ... if you do others will be able to as well.

But most contacts don't have tamper switches right? So how would it detect a tamper? if someone cut the wires?

All the new ones for the new regs have tampers. Also work EOL, end of line. See the installation book again for this.

Oh yeah cutting "wires" or "cables" is a "tamper" is it not?................But the new ones have an extra contact to detect being opened.

So if someone cut the switch wires - Will this also raise an alarm?

Coud you link me to a new type of contact please? are they dear?

All regulation contacts do have tamper switches.

Tamper conditions can be raised by releasing the tamper switch or by cutting or shorting the cable - without a tamper circuit the alarm circuit is put at risk.
