i just noticed inside the PIR its using a lower rating resistor, could that be a problem?

when you say the tamper contact, which one is that on the wiring diagram?

heres the pir - http://classic.myob.co.nz/images/DSCF6274.JPG

...

well thats just beautifully engineered.....

thanks Mr. Happy - i didn't want to be the one to throw the first stone..

especially the mains connection is very interesting where as chosen keypad cable is quite personal..

check the other tamper resistor value from the manual.. but like this anyway:

COM = screws number

10

13

16

19

Z = screws number

9

11

12

14

15

17

18

20

& seal the spare hole, can't find two matching screws to fix it with?

... two matching screws to fix it with?

g'sys krist - now i can't get no sleep

thanks, ill give it a go

i dont want to confuse the issue but basically im just trying to get an old system working again. i only replaced the control panel, all the PIRs, sirens etc were working fine before the control panel died.

do i just need to re-program the zones to match the old control panel, do you think that would work? change them to NC, or NO instead of EOLR? also do i need to do something with the zones not used, or will the fact that nothings connected to them be enough? sorry these are probably really basic questions

heres the old control panel, all wired up & working

compared with the new panel saying zones are open

your zones are eol wire them up like the bald blokes told tou

program them off (unused zones) if the panel will let you or link them out with a resistor

thx will give it a shot when i get home from work.

hey just wanted to say thx to everyone whos given me some advice on this, i know you dont have to so i appreciate the time youve taken to pass on ur advice to help a newbie ... thx again
