Help please Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I have installed a Honeywell dt7550 today and I have a slight problem where after a few minutes of it being powered up the Red led flashes rapidly I have read in the manual this means microwave supervision failure however the detector still works fine on walk test? So I was wondering if I could have any help in making it work properly please? Below is how I have wired it and a view of the pcb Edited September 7, 2015 by Help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB_ Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Red fast flash is i believe Anti-mask condition, basically the microwave has detected movement when the PIR section hasnt. Usually happens when you have the microwave range is set too far and it ends up seeing into the next room or something(which the pir cant do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean red flashing fast could be the sensor is showing masking , which isn't what you described Fast flash is trouble problem with masking or fault with the Pir and so on Did you just buy this ? You may have damaged it or its faulty Edited September 7, 2015 by al-yeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help please Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 I was given two of them about a year ago I used one in my house and have only just installed this one in my parents house, they are second hand but working when they were removed I dont see any reason why it shouldn't work now it's only been in a box in my garage for a year, what's strange is it seems to work just fine on a walk test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Sounds like detector fault indication to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 But a PIR isn't a DT? Have you fitted the correct device for the environment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
