Replacing wireless sensor with existing wired sensor on my GC3

If you are uncertain whether the wired sensor is physically wired properly to the TAKE-345, a good option might be to use the wired input of a DW10 Door/Window contact.

Your wired front door sensor could be wired to a DW10’s input, using the DW10 as a transmitter, nearby the door instead of at the Takeover module side. Alternatively, you could just try using a DW10 as a surface wireless contact on the door instead.

How to Create a Combined Window/Shock DW10-345

If you are looking for glass break detection for your 2GIG alarm system, one of the most reliable ways to detect intrusion due to breaking glass is using a window shock sensor. All-in-one wireless versions can be a bit large and difficult to effectively mount. We find a better solution is to use a wired shock sensor and the hardwire inputs on a 2GIG-DW10-345. This gives you an open/close sensor as well as a shock sensor that is effective while avoiding false alarms.
