RETROFIT AND CURRENT SENSORS

GOT OUR RETROFIT KIT IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY. LOOKED AT THE PANEL FOR THE CURRENT ALARM LAST NIGHT. EACH ZONE HAS 4 WIRES FOR EACH DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR. BLACK/WHITE AND RED/GREEN. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE BLACK AND RED SHOULD ONLY NEED TO BE WIRED TO POWER A SENSOR SUCH AS A MOTION SENSOR. THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS WITH ACS AND WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE HOUSE WAS BUILT A FEW YEARS AGO. WE JUST BOUGHT IT 2 WEEKS AGO. AM I CORRECT IN THINKING JUST THE WHITE FOR COMMON AND GREEN FOR EACH SENSOR NEED TO BE HOOKED UP? I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT INSTALLED WITHOUT HAVING TO SCHEDULE IT FOR OVER 2 WEEKS FROM NOW THRU THE WEBSITE. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

      Wondering what you ended up doing? I just got my retrofit kit and noticed all of my door/window sensors are 4 wires: red/white and then green/black… very similar to yours.
