Warren,

I have to second Doug's question about the 1K resistor.  You will never see
a contact closure without it.  In order for it to truly be a 'supervised'
input, the resistor should actually be at the motion detector.  That way if
the wires are ever broken (or found and snipped), the SECU-16 will report a
contact closure. ;-)
