Steven_W Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Even though the entry time is set to 30 seconds, once the alarms is set as soon as a PIR detects movement the alarm goes off. I have spent about 2 hours going through the various menus to see why this is happening but I'm stumped... I really don't want to factory reset it if possible, I like to get to the bottom of the problem, don't want to crack a walnut with a sledgehammer! all.

Lwillis Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Are you using the PIR to start the entry exit timer? What do you have it programmed as? Where about is the PIR?

Steven_W Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 PIR in the entrance hall, programmed as zone 2, as far as I know it is not changed from the factory default for the sensor. Thanks for the help!

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The front door contact is Entry and the PIR is Home Delay (Access). This is what's suppose to happen. Open the front door first.

Lwillis Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Beat me to it. It will be set as premier follow It needs to be premier if you are using it instead of a door contact and want it to start the entry timer when its activated(not reccomended) The system needs to see the door open first before it will allow you to walk in front of zone 2-hall pir The system is doing its job correctly as per its programming.

Rulland Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 You don't need to move it, just prog it correctly. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36679-visonic-powermax-alarm-sounding-as-soon-as-entering/#findComment-380952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I would always recommend putting a contact on the entry door.
