What's securing your security system?  

A combined enclosure door and enclosure to wall tamper switch (ICP-EZTS) protects both sides of a standard or attack resistant Bosch enclosure for the [G and B Series intrusion detection](http://us.boschsecurity.com/us_product/products/intrusionalarmsystems/controlpanelsandkeypads/gseries/gseries_4119) control panels. 

The ICP-EZTS includes a factory wired connector that connects to the tamper input pins on the new [B8512G / B9512G](http://us.boschsecurity.com/us_product/products/intrusionalarmsystems/controlpanelsandkeypads/gseries/gseries_4119) control panels eliminating the need to attach, hand wire and connect two separate tamper switches to a hardwired point input. If additional tamper switches are required, the ICP-EZTS also includes a wire loop to which additional tamper switches can be connected.

Installation is shown below in the tutorial.

Take advantage of faster and easier installation:

- Eliminate the need to install two separate tamper switches.
- Eliminate the associated hand wiring of two separate tamper switches.
- Eliminate the need to use a hardwired zone/point input.
