    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

    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.
