Zone question
Actual situation is:
Dsc pc1832
Wireless receiver
Rf5501 keypad
Only wireless zones
All zones are listed as zone 1 to zone 7
Zone 1 is alarm cabinet.
My question is,
I want to add three wired zones, if I hook the wires in the panel, will these three wired zones overwrite the wireless zones that were already in place for zones 02-03-04?

The on-board wired panel points are always 1-8.
The wireless points usually start at point 9 and go up.

So right now zone 2 is entry door with a wireless sensor. If I wired a zone in z2 on the panel will overwrite the actual wireless sensor on zone 2, ADT dos this installation and I guess they used the first zones as we were always going to use wireless sensors

I've trying to locate the actual point programming to see if the wireless 1-8 uses the panel 1-8 programming slots. I don't want to give you incorrect information.
The forum pro probably knows the answer off the top of his head. He'll be thru.

No, it has to be one or the other. You can set any zone to be wireless, but at that point, that's all it can be. You will need to relearn the transmitters into the zones above 9 to be able to use those hardwired inputs.

Ok I have it clear now, sucks the tech did it this way, adding a wired zone means double the work. This kind of things is what motivates me to do the things on my own and do them right from the beginning.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

The actual moving the wireless zone to a different zone isn't really a _huge_ amount of work, however, best practice is to reserve the wired zones for future use.
For many installing companies, they still tend to think in terms of systems never being altered after the initial installation.
