Changing the wiring is not that hard, remove wires from zone three fit link, remove one wire from zone one join it to one of the wires removed from zone 3, put the other wire from zone three in the vacant hole of zone one. This will do what you want but, if you have a false alarm on zone one you will never know what detector caused it Quote

PeterJames Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 A keypad outside the protected area is always a good idea, if you make sure that its well warn on the numbers that make up your code. Really it all depends on the risk, I am guessing you havent got anything worth protecting, otherwise you wouldnt be here you would be having a proper alarm installed. Which means the type of burglar that will target you would most likely be an opportunist and not someone that has spent time watching you come and go and planned the heist of the century. So yes putting a keypad outside the protected area will work for you, but keep it clean, and bear in mind its not recommended. Quote

al-yeti Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 No detection in garage, means you can get to it without starting try tomorrow or full alarm Quote

So maybe not what you envisioned Quote
