How do you splice in more wires to create a dual sensor using the one box? Want to put 1 box and 2 sensors in a tight location.

This only comes with one sensor. Just spend the 10 bucks on the second box.

For the price, why splice wires, the leads can be extended to 6 feet. What I would recommend is to place the sensor on a sheet of paper towel. Any moisture will wick up to the contacts. Also you can cover a bigger area where just a corner of the paper towel will transfer the liquid by capillary action to the contacts.

The one I have is 2 pads on one wire and another 2 pads on another wire. There are 2 spots in the unit to plug in 2 wires. One to the left side and one to the right side Hope this helps

After reading the six responses, all are correct. Cut power, drop light fixture away from mounting box (1 or 2 screws), unscrew sensor from face plate, cut three wires, install new sensor, wire nut the 3 wires back to original connected wires (mine were red, black, white) reattach sensor to face plate and face plate to mounting box. Done.

I am running a single hub, that controls 4 blasters. Each port on the back of the hub controls two blasters that are spliced together. If you splice them together, be careful not to cross the wires...positive to positive and neg to neg.

The wire divider can be configured in different ways. The method I chose resulted in one wire being 2 inches too short. Another wire was 2 inches too long but it is easier to hide that. My perspective is this would look best with custom wires.

Only 2 wires are conected inside One wire is sniped short that wire you won't use the other 2 you can hook up anyway you want as it is ac I hope this helped good luck

I used the edge expandable pyrometer set up because you can add to it if you ever want to add any other sensors. It allows you to piggy back the sensors and have one plug in to the monitor.

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

Try this link: http://www.renovation-headquarters.com/wiring-multiple-motion-sensors.html It is similar to what you are trying to do,but it uses external sensors.

You need to find the wire somewhere, usually one end is easiest. Hook the black wire from the transmitter to a large screwdriver or nail or some other metal spike, drive that into the ground, preferably wet ground. then strip a little insulation from the end of the wire you have located and connect the red lead to that bare wire. Make sure your invisible fence is turned off or both wires disconnected. Turn on your locator sending unit. Take the locator part, tape the sensor to something like a broomstick or plastic pipe, hook up headphones or use the speaker, the headphones work best. Wave the sensor back and forth, perpendicular to the wire, listening to the sound. The sound gets loudest away from the wire and quietest directly over the wire. Walk slowly along the path of the wire following the sounds. When you get over the break, you should notice the difference, you will lose the signal. Go back to where you had it last and work carefully forward until you find the break. If you have to, start over again on the other wire at the start and work your way along the wire. If you only have one break, you should end up at the same spot. If you have multiple breaks, dig each one up one at a time and splice the wires and continue. Mine had multiple breaks and I had them all located and spliced in a couple of hours. You don't need a continuous loop, the signal will go from the end of the wire you are connected to and will go until it reaches a break. Hope this helps. Neil

If I understand your question, you want one sensor to turn on a light and a second sensor to turn it back off. The answer would be "NO". These sensors do not have three-way capability.

You are better off replacing both and this kit will do it. I had the same issue in which I only needed one. But you are hard pressed to find just one sensor that will work. Save yourself the headache and use a kit.

It did mine, I got both sensors and had to splice one of them to make it longer so the connector would reach. I don't remember which one. But that was easy and it works great.

If you have all the access codes for your Simon XT panel, then you can do it yourself. I remember having no significant issues, but I have installed many sensors into my Simon XT.

i wired mine as follows:1&2 = load know that 1 & 2 connect to a single wire of the heat/cold source. only one wire from heat will connect to 1 & 2. u only cut one wire of the load(heat supply) and connect to 1 & 2. 3&4 = power5&6 = sensorworx4me, lucku u

You can add up to 16 sensors to a single receiver. Once you have a receiver, just purchase additional sensors ie. window/door, motion sensor, or water monitor.
