    Haha... anything's possible but not without more info. Any make/model and operating voltage for the sensor? It's likely to be very low voltage.

    If the sensor is generic, and covers a wide voltage range, refer HERE.

    The "negative trigger output" is the one that confuses me

    Negative trigger will be the BLUE wire and switches -ve or EARTH.

    Yes sounds about right, but if that doesn't work, swap green and blue. Best if you can find a make/model or part no. and look for actual specs.

    Edit: Al, Ztoy is an expert on alarm systems, send him a PM.
