What I called recomissioning, was reinstalling an alarm system I had just removed. I dont deal with alarms often, and was chuffed that I got it off the wall without a sound, the doors and windows have been replaced, front door wiring has been renewed, two upstairs window contacts have been renewed on existing wiring. All the contacts work no probs.

All I can think to try is removing the supply to another PIR on the system, just incase it is faulty and affecting zone 2

friend of mine once called me out (he`s a high end kitchen fitter ) as he had spent half the morning threading a panel through a keyhole slot he had cut in the side of a kitchen cabinet, problem was all the time he was tugging and pulling at the panel he was also pressing buttons and had altered the proggrammming without realising - thats where I would start, check those zones (2 & 6 IIRC) are proggrammed as "omit allowed"

Got there in the end, it seems when I removed the panel around 12 months ago, I disabled zone 2 in program1, so even though I had set zone 2 type to security, as soon as the panel was set, it defaults to prog1 which had zone 2 disabled.

Thanks to the gent who pmed suggesting I part with money, that spurred me on. Part with money indeed.
