Hello Sorry for the late reply, been unwell. Anyway, if I re-enter through the door containing the door contact, the entry timer starts, enter code and alarm dis-armed (as expected). jameswilson - honest it is program 1. I will let the pir pick me up, allow the entry timer to expire and then I will check the panel. GF

Evening Double-checked my program 1 setup and it's as I described in my OP - zone 1 = used\timed zone 2 = used\inhibited zones 3 to 8 - unused I performed a factory reset and reprogrammed, just to start from scratch again. efficient_systems - Looking at the Engineer's manual, the zone setup is the same for all 3 programs, the only thing that I have changed on program 1 is to set zones 3-8 as unused and left programs 2 and 3 unchanged, is this okay? Is there any else that can cause the pir to activate the entry timer when the entry route has not been activated? Could I have a duff panel......? GF

9651 - thanks for your 2nd post, I agree with you and hence the reason for the head scratching. I will re-check program setup tonight. thanks

The pir is programmed as inhibited but the alarm does not trigger as per my original post.

Hi thank for your reply. How do I program the panel to ignore the pir when I set\unset the panel but also trigger the alarm if the door contact is not opened? thanks

Hello I have installed an Optima control panel with one PIR, one door contact and a bell box for my garage. The panel has been setup with 2 zones (a door contact on zone 1 and a PIR in zone 2). I am able to set\unset the alarm, however, if I hide in the garage whilst someone else sets the alarm and they leave via the entry/exit door (zone 1) and then I move and get picked up by the sensor, the alarm does not trigger, but instead it triggers the entry timer (I expected the alarm to trigger in this scenario). When I set\unset the alarm at the control panel keypad and then exit\enter via the garage door, I am picked up by the PIR, so the sensor is part of my entry\exit route. I have setup program 1 as follows - zone 1 = used\timed zone 2 = used\inhibited zones 3 to 8 - unused I have been scratching my head on this one…an any help on this would be much appreciated. GF
