You can do bells on confirmed but it's not default.

 

no my point was/is

If I do the same with the wired PIR, I get event logs of "Alarm - Zone 003 Guard Alarm" followed by "Confirmed intruder" and "Confirmed alarm" then "Bell active".

 

why is zone 003 causing confirmed intruder

 

unless as above its set to only ring on confirm and you are actually triggering 2 devices?

Just browsing the texecom manual

Under Area settings whats the difference between 00 - Alarm and 01 - Guard alarm

Okay from the comments posted (thanks by the way!) I've changed the PIR's into "AUTO" mode instead of Hybrid.

 

 

I'm thinking the comments about a single device/zone not triggering a confirmed alarm is the problem - my expectation is it would set bells active.

 

Are you suggesting that if somebody breaks into a single room (i.e. lounge) the PIR would detect this, but not set bells active because only a single sensor has detected it ?  Bit pointless if thats the case!

 

I've done another capture in WinTex of the events

The events below show the alarm arming, and then me leaving the system for a couple of minutes to settle.  I then activate the zone 009 PIR (Toilet!) - the action is registered by the alarm (active) but no bells.

 

After a minute, I then activate zone 011 and the alarm activates + bells + confirmed alarm.

Assuming this is the correct way the system is supposed to work - what are my best options for securing a room - multiple PIRs ?

 

 

hi

if the panel is programed to bells and sounder on confirmed this is used on commercial or large domestic systems  mainly on a police response system   confirmed alarms  need two detectors to activate  in one area to generate an audible alarm

an example is one detector in a shop by the front door and a 360 disc  in the same area  if one  activates the alarm send an unconfirmed signal  if both see movement then the bells ring and it sends a confirmed alarm

if you have only one detector in a room and you want an audible alarm  you need to change the option in wintex  under system config to bell 1st alarm  and sounder 1st alram

hope this  helps

Bell on Confirm is on Sys Config option 26?

Stuart,

As peter said the setting can be changed

Thank you for the help.  I've not tested this yet, but it makes sense.

 

To summarise the issues resolved:

 

1. Ensure PIRs are in AUTO mode

2. Untick option 26 and 27 for "bells on confirmed alarm" (switched off)

 

 

hi

 is it still set to grade 3! if so you only need grade 2 this is a great system but is not intended as a easy diy fit  it is aimed at high security  and a police response.
