Burglar Alarm Wiring

I am about to replace my windows with UPVC, however, I have some windows that have a tremble contact on them. I have tried to get an alarm company to come and disconnect them while I have my windows fitted but no-one is interested, probably too small a job. If I open the box on the windoe there are six wires, presumably if I can connect the proper ones together it will allow me to stop them while the window fitters do their job.
Or is there a better way to do this.

Normal alarm system uses 6 cables
2 will be the voltage usaually black and red (power)
2 will be the switching of the alarm usually green and yellow (alarm loop)
and 2 will be the tamper control.
Now you want to keep the alarm active while your work is being done so the only thing you have to do is identify which cable does what make sure the alarm loop is kept intact. The same is for the tamper control
How to do it is short the 2 wires together i.e green and yellow this wil make a loop back to the control panel. But make sure you do not short the power cables or you will blow a fuse or the control panel.
A good website for advise is http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/Content/diy_install.asp
Hope this is of some help.0 -
Much easier to program the panel to omit those sensors whilst the work is going on.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.

Draw a picture of the switch and label where each wire goes. Then remove them one at a time and insulsate each end with some tape.
Remove the switch-swap windows,then replace the switch and wire up one at a time using your drawing (being careful no to short any).
yes some of the wires will have low voltage on and you may blow the fuse if you short them, but 12v won't shock you0 -
