Basically from the panel it goes out to the first Aritech 610 shock sensor via a 4 core cable then from there a short 4 core cable goes off to the second Aritech 610 sensor and from that...

    Hi I'm looking to replace my Optima XM alarm panel with a newer one and have been mapping out the existing wires. Everything maps out good, I can see the tamper circuit in place but I have some shock sensors which seem to be wired to a little black box within the Optima XM which doesn't appear...
