Security alarm door contact

[BluePhase]

Good Morning
Factory spark here in need of some assistance. I am about to tear out an old patio door and replace it with french doors. There is a very grubby surface mounted alarm contact fitted to the patio door that i would like to replace with new.

Question is how do i do this without setting the alarm off via the tamper mode? is there a method for disabling the tamper set up? The panel is labeled up as a LOGIC 4 and is a key operated panel with 4 setting on the keyswitch, off, test, part and full. The alarm also has a battery back up facility.

Thanks for any help

put it in test

the logic 4 is a very cheap panel, as has been suggested put it to test, but do note which colour wires go where, and if you have double doors, ideally you should have 2 contacts (wired in series) but you can get away with one on the one which opens first

If it is only a magnetic switch it may possibly not have a tamper circuit

although what you say is in theory true, it should be wired in 4 core, 2 circuit, 2 tamper, although the tamper are just termianted under a screw terminal, they will "protect" the cable
