saguy Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hello. I have two use cases for the SC-W contact/shock sensor. 1. Using shock sensor and magnetic sensor on my skylights to alarm when skylights are open or attempted break-in. My understanding is that the dip switches are: M - ON, S - On, T1 - Off, T2 - Off. 2. Using the inputs on the SC-W to connect my normally closed perspex burglar bars which essential have a wire running through them to determine if it's been cut. I imaging that one end of the wire goes to T1 terminal and the other to COM. Then dip switches are: M - Off, S - Off, T1 - On, T2 - Off. Then I'm also not sure what the correct mode would be, Hybrid/Auto? etc... Anyone have experience or guidance on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So y have manual selection , shouldn't they just call it battery mode as realistically that's what it's for it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few devices have had problems in the past, being able to change the mode provided a workaround. Usually you just learn on the device and leave the device mode which is selected by the device. Some people like to dabble with changing the mode which can improve battery life at the cost of reduced functionality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see nothing that says otherwise in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible problem is that these all appear as one zone, I don't know if South African standards would permit that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes T2 special then? Is it just that if it is "triggered" the alarm will show it as a tamper? 3 minutes ago, al-yeti said: South Africa have a zone connection to an Uzi so no problem What is an Uzi?
