I had 2 failed old Elkron motion alarm sensors (4 core) wired in series as in pictures. They are in adjacent rooms connected through a wall with short cable. They worked well and did the job. I have 2 Texecom Capture P15s to replace. The control panel is Scantronic 9448+. There are no added resistors. Can I just wire these in the same way? Do I need to change the resistor setting inside one or both sensors if in series? Many thanks for any advice.

You’re not using resistors on that alarm panel ….set pir as normal alarm and tamper
Many thanks. Sorry to ask for a bit more information. For two P15 PIRs in series can I go; Control panel PIR1 alarm then PIR1 tamper to PIR2 alarm then PIR2 tamper to control panel? (And ignore resistor setting in PIR P15s)? That would be really helpful to know. John222
Yes….if you can live with not knowing which device is faulty / false alarmed …
Yes ….its the house type icon…bottom left on the keypad …

Great. Two magnetic door contacts. One to EE and one to Zone 1. The wiring diagram shows a 1K to 470R in series but I cannot see either of these. The control does not use EOL resistors so are these necessary for the door contacts? Thanks again.
No resistors needed
