the 32 wireless zones and the 8 wired zones can you explain what that means. I am looking for a system with shock sensors, not magnetic break sensors,

All the components included with the system are wireless battery-powered devices (each device is a "zone", not sure off top of head if remote controls / extra keypad use up a zone), however the control panel has the ability to have up to 8 hard-wired (non-battery / non-wireless) two-wire sensors ran to it and monitored. There is a wireless add-on item available and compatible with the system that detects glass breakage - use your favorite search engine with "Shield Tech Security" and part number "STS4-GLSS" to locate it - however it needs a power supply wherever it is installed unlike the sensors included in this package.

You can install a 4219. It connects to the panel in the keypad 4 wire bus & adds 8 additional wired zones to the panel. Add a second one fora total of 24 wired zones .

You set actions for away/home/disarmed on the zones and not the sensor. You place up to 10 sensors in any of the 10 zones(100 total sensors). Each zone has an away setting a home setting and a disarmed setting to either enable or disable the sirens for the zone. For example you have a fire alarm(zone1), a motion sensor(zone2), door sensors(zone3) and window sensors(zone4). You want the fire alarm zone always armed for all 3 modes(away/home/disarmed). You want the motion sensor zone 2 enabled only for away and disabled for home and disarmed. You can configure the zones that have window and door sensors to be enabled for sirens when Home/away and disabled for disarmed.

It just increases the range of your system. It doesn't change anything with the zones. You'd probably need a second controller for that.

It needs a wired connection but even then this is a very poor system. It is unreliable and buggy. The recent update made mine forget all the sensors.

Looks like they are using a DS18B20 sensor, using onewire communication. Making it longer would eventuality effect communication but shouldn't effect the accuracy.

Yes. I could be wrong but I believe you can actually hook up 16 sensors to the same unit. There are 4 channels so you can definitely at least hook up 4. But it's my understanding that you can actually do 4 sensors per channel, although I haven't tried it yet. It's an awesome system!! I love it. I currently have 4 sensors and just ordered 3 more so I'm gonna find out soon if it can handle more than 4.

no it's wired, I know a couple friends that have wireless and they run into the system not transmitting at times, the instructions a very bad, I called the help phone twice and got 2 different explanations on the proper way to wire it, they give you more components then you need and vague instructions that don't use all components, I ended up, after looking at the instructions (actually no instructions just a diagram), and using some common sense and it works

There were 7 door/window sensors included in the package, as well as 3 motion sensors, the control panel, a remote keypad, and two wireless key fobs. I added two smoke detectors and a remote siren from Sears' online site; the order was fulfilled by Shield Tech. When the remote siren malfunctioned on installation, I contacted Shield Tech support directly and they promptly replaced the device. My system functions armed for weeks at a time and has had no false alarms, while tests of the various devices that I performed have always proved reliable, including notification. I will probably add several more motion sensors vice installing all my door/window sensors--primarily because they cover areas within my home versus specific doors and windows. I think you have to look at probable access points and how the property might be entered and make a judgment as to the type of sensor and, by the way, how the sensor is configured (for example, delayed alarm versus instant). Hope this helps.

It is 2 zone system, but I haven't tried to use zone 2 yet. You could add a swith/splitter to Zone2 so you can split Zone 2 in two ways

I believe they went to an external shock sensor on the 5204 rather than one integrated in the brain on the 5701. Other than that, I think the brain is slightly smaller(shock sensor is outside now) and there are some new programming options. The others are correct, they are essentially the same other than that.

It is not a wireless system. Both units are plugged into the power sockets in your home (or office) and the signal is carried through the wires. There is a blocking filter for the wall current at each end, so all the computer sees is the digital signal. So the range is the length of the wires in your home. HTH

The cheap alarms only have one slot I think just for the shock sensor. In order to use the proximity sensor you would have to use the slot and forget about shock sensor. I'm using a viper so there is 2 slots.

I don't know the exact details. The wireless system lies within these devices. One is a sender and the other is a receiver. Similiar to a TV remote control.

The manual states "It's eight sensors work together to understand what's happening in your home and it's photoelectric sensor detects slow, smoldering fires". Did not find any other technical information relative to your question.

Sorry, i can;t help you. I thought it was going to be a wireless sensor and it is not. It had to be hardwired and I could not do that. I tried to return it but is was after the after the available return date. I just threw it away.

John: No. This kit is designed for a single zone (multi stage system--this description often confuses people. multi-stage refers to differing heat and or HVAC levels---not number of zones in the house). The included interface panel is installed at the equipment and serves one zone only. If you have a home with 3 zones and 3 separate HVAC units, then you would need 3 kits (be careful here because the wireless signal of each unit might bleed over and cause problems with the others). If however you have a home with one HVAC unit running 3 separate zones (which is rare in a residential set-up) then you need to change out your existing Zone controller at the equipment and go to the Honeywell Truezone Panel. Honeywell does make a wireless adaptable Truezone System (not sold on Amazon). For a one plant multi-zone system you would need the Truezone panel, wireless Multizone interface and the required number of wireless thermostats. No sure Amazon sells all you need. I would strongly recommend a simple call to Honeywell Customer/Tech support and lay out what you are trying to accomplish. Be careful how you ask the question. The Honeywell unit Amazon sells is designated (by model number) as one that should only be installed by a professional HVAC tech (of which I am not). When I called about my unit, they would not answer once I told them I was not a HVAC contractor. I got around it by calling again a fibbing a little. Alternatively, you could try searching the model number and calling one of the vendors (ie SupplyHouse) as they offer free technical advice--but not as good a price as Amazon. Lastly, unless I had much experience with HVAC systems, I would not attempt installing this unit in a multi-zone system with professional HVAC help. Good Luck, Steve
