my first motion sensor installation

The mount you show is a DSC part number so does it work with the mentioned Bosch motion detector?

I like these mounts

Yep Martin, I got an email from Bill today. :lol:

Thanks as always!

Why not, my speaker mount worked with the bosch motion sensor :lol:

It may or may not work because your Bosch Motion detector physical size (width) is small and the DSC bracket is big so it would look weird. Also, the mounting holes on the DSC bracket may not line up with your Bosch so you have to drill new holes (no big deal) but it is another thing that you have to modify slightly.

IF AO sells Bosch then why can't they get the real Bosch bracket? This is all IF

The wiring method is a 4 state zone and its in the ELK Manual. Its a neat setup.

So it is wired as mentioned in Fig-2 of the, Optional Four(4) State Zone wiring with Tamper ?

As per the manual, this connection is done with 2 EOL and 1 Tamper switch. But in the pic I see 1 EOL and the other seems like a tamper switch(?).

Going off memeory (and not a good one anymore) you need two EOL Resistors and then you have the tamper switch and the zone contact. The tamper is in series with the EOL resistor and then the second resistor is in paralle with the tamper.

I tried it about 9 months ago it it worked perfectly.

Read my thread here, http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showto...=75&#entry48557

And yes, look at my first picture again, I have 2 resistors installed.

have fun!!! :lol:

Ok, I will contact AO again to find out what the width is that attaches to the mounting sensor. I'm hoping, it's less than 1.75".

I'm sorry, these old eyes still don't see two resistors. I guess that means you did a neat install.

Actually, the shot was bad. I saw many noise on the picture. Plus the compression of the jpeg file. Your eyes are fine. :lol:

Hey,

Thank you so much for link. I though i read that thread, but some how missed that post. That explains it very clearly.

One last question, did you use the Tamper switch OR this technique was used, saying there is tamper switch, but there isn't one really.

Thanks,
Suresh.

Honestly, I don't know. I just followed what Robert(rfdesq) told me to do. It's working without any issues. :lol:

 

[v1rtu0s1ty]

FYI folks, about the DSC DM-W motion sensor bracket specifically the piece that attaches to the motion sensor, the width is 1.5". It's perfect then for the Bosch motion sensor I bought because the back part is 1.75" wide.

I believe that Neil's Bosch PIR's have real tamper switches. That's why he used the EOL wiring diagram from the ELK installation manual.

 

[v1rtu0s1ty]

Robert is exactly right, I have 2 tamper terminals.
