hi thanks for the quick reply can you give me a breif discription on how to do this as iv done that much button pressing iv forgotten if i have

Not familiar with the control panel, it will be listed as zone config or selection maybe, it will be in the manual.

as norm said.

check cmd 21.

as above youhave to program the zone wiring type (different to zone attribute types).

if you are new to alarm installing,

you better to test each cable with a test meter for shorts and breaks before you connect it to your panel, banging it all in usually leads to tears..

always remmember, the fastest fuse in the world is the base junction of a transistor, of which there are thousands inside even a small modern IC.

get your panel with just the keypad connected working properly before you add any zones and warning devices, then add one item at a time and tets. this method is faster than connecting everything and hoping. it also reduces frustration from the "not knowing where to start" feeling, all this makes installing it far more enjoyable .
