Can you use hardwired zones with this system? I'd like to replace my GE Simon XT v.2 but mine is mostly hardwired.

Both Simon XT and Simon XTi have two (2) hard-wired zones. Please let us know if you need additional information. 24inControl

Of course yes, you have a very granular control for all zones. You can get all info also directly from the supplier by contacting this mail: mark.rosen@roslen.com or by downloading the manual from the site http://www.roslen.com/support.html. Regards, Alberto

unsure .... I did it ..... but didn't check the paperwork.There may be a model variation for hardwiring.Ask manufacture on their site..

Just saw this. Had to change the wiring for plug in. It comes for hardwire.

you should contact Zyxel directly, their tech support or sales support is great, but the device does not work very well in certain environments. I had trouble connecting it and staying connected.Too many variables depend on your electrical wiring in the house.

You can use the output of zone 2 as the analog input of the main zone. Put anything you want on zone 2 (except airplay apparently) and change the main zone to the analog inputs. This is a trick we use with automation systems.

J. Hur, This will not be a problem. I have 3 different models connected to my hard wired/ plus battery system. A total of 6. Some with different sensitivity than others. Since they are all made by First Alert / BRK. I haven't had any problem with them for over 21 years now. Plus they all come with a wiring harmess pigtail, should you damage your old one . I have noticed some of the new replacment detectors have replaced the 9-volt battery with two AA . To be honest, I think it's better . I hope this helps you. Ronnie

Frequency is irrelevant. This is a proprietary system. It would be incompatible with anything else including other GE wireless devices. Invest in a decent package from the outset. The range of this one is minimal without installing their repeaters/range extenders.

I have not yet register the unit with XM, but it is supposed to be built in. Maybe you could look at Sony's website and look at the schematics. Sorry if this didn't help.

Yes and now. It can be hardwired if your willing to somehow provide the required DC voltage to the unit. Either by incorporating the plug into the hard wiring or using a different AC/DC converter. It's not as simple as running an AC wire to it. Will it be within NEC code if hard wired? I don't know. I put in an outlet right next to the vent at the top of the wall and just plugged it in there rather then being fancy.

Only if you have existing hardwired units installed and you want them to work in unison with the wireless units. In that case you would replace one of the existing devices with a Kidde 1279-9999/RF-SM-AC which can communicate with the wireless devices as well as any existing hard wired units. Otherwise, the wireless devices work well with companion wireless units.

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

It works with 2GIG Alarm panels, which at one time Vivant was using so shouldn't be an issue assuming you have the installer code to add zwave devices.

If by 'current system' you mean a different one from the CXR, then you may have the option of switching a channel button inside the receiver. The old one I used to have, had dip-switches that could be moved to select a different frequency. If so, there will be a dip-switch inside the transmitter as well. This allows you to avoid a neighbors garage door opener from cross-talking to your door bell. But with the SadoTech CXR there has been no problem.

You can wire it up to be on all the time, but you will never get that far. These things arrive dead and never worked (twice). Stay away from them, spend a bit more money abr get a Hugh quality system.

Don't do it!!!! It's too risky!!! Even properly grounded, and with all waterproof (not weatherproof&lt; Nat Elec Code,NEC&gt; distinction) enclosure, and UFI protected, you're asking for a lethal dose of volts times amps equals watts. We are not talking cute little electrons here!!! We're talking all that GE has got, all at once. Seriously. DO NOT ATTEMPT. It would cost too much anyway to build a waterproof enclosure big enough to include servicing area, as well as the unit and filters, bringing power to it, which depending on the length of the run will necessitate a larger diameter wire, AND a special cable designed for outdoor use. (The voltage drops over a long run of wire.)NO! NO! PLEASE DON'T DO IT.

I hardwired connection would be best. I cannot recommend this system. It was very sporadic operating on my iPhone. I found it to be undependable.
