Hi All,

First time poster here so happy new year to all.

Foolishly I decided today of all days to change a PIR that's been playing up for a while.

I took the cover off the PIR and the control panel alerted me of a Tamper to which I reacted and entered the code to silence the internal siren. I continued to disconnect the wiring (which is where my problem started to kick in i think) and the external alarm started blaring! Although the internal siren was not blaring it was possible to quietly hear it. In an attempt and panic to turn it off i entered the master user code but that didn't work after which i pressed anything that might. Nothing worked and after about 30 mins the external siren ceased thankfully.

Unfortunatley I'm unable to get anything working. The Tamper light stays on and I think by disconnecting the wiring caused the system to 'alert' of a bigger problem than just removing the PIR cover which alerts of a Tamper.

I'm sure I need to do some sort of master reset because I can't get anything to work even though I have the engineer\master code.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks - kkp

best bit of advice on this site is to just ignore that young upstart (alterEGo) as he just so jealous, i am liberated by my ability and expertise while he is confined by his .

good natured banter aside, you have most likely blown a fuse, so if you have connected your new detector following the colour code from the old one, replacing the fuse should hopefully redeem your system.

i have to advise you to have the remedial works done by a competant engineer as opening the alarm panel can present a risk of a fatal electric shock or injury from a falling battery to you.

i am in Wickford, so please PM me for phone numbers etc if required.
