Changed to wire links. Reset config, disabled box tamper, let it boot up, reset time/date, all zone lights showed unlit. So progress I think? I then proceeded to add zone 3 (passage) as it's easier to test that while I'm busy with it since the keypad is 1m away from it. configured that zone as an interior instant NC. (Is this correct? it's the PIR from previous PIR picture), it does not detect when I stand there. the sensor itself lights up, the zone on the keypad does not. Also, that trouble light is illuminated still.

Alright I've made some progress! Might make it easier. I've assembled a TTL to USB device and mapped the COM 1 port on the 412 and managed to hack it all together so I can use Wintex to see the panel. Now to figure how to go from there

The firmware on the panel is Premier 412 Version 7.1, would updating be possible for such an old panel? without bricking it.

Forget firmware update no point

 

Now you know wire links allowed faults to clear because it's not setup for resistors 

 

Possibly 

 

But carry on , if you manage to programme it fine 

 

If not you can use without resistors and global tamper if it has it 

 

DIY no big deal how you do it

Also you need to remove the resistor from the PIR , if your doing it without resistors, 

 

If you join and open wire atnpir end that should open and close the zone , perhaps pirs are shot

I've measured the resistance over the wires for zone 3, 3.3k, then when someone walks in front of it, changes to open circuit. PIR seems fine. Rechecked wiring. Seem's correct.

used multimeter on panel side to confirm the same (in case a wire broke in the ceiling etc), works fine. I wire it up to zone 3 on the panel, so I should program it to: 

Zone: 03

zone type: 04 Interior instant

zone wiring: Single EOL - N/C

Partition: 1

Attributes 1: Enable Bell, Enable Instant Strobe, Enable transmission

Attributes 2: Enable Manual Bypass, Enable stay bypass

Attributes 3: none

Zone text: passage

 

correct?

I imagine Single EOL S/C is the type you want

I've tried all, unless I select Normally Open, all list as "active", even when using jumpers direct from com to zone. Any advice on that? I am very confused at this point. PS, thanks for all your help so far everyone. I've indeed made progress through your help!

There is a table in the wiring section to explain each wiring type and the state they should be. Single EOL S/C seems to be correct for your explanation.

Single eolwould mean put resistor back in PIR if you removed it 

Does anyone have the newer firmware for the 412? I can only find the firmware for Premier elite, which this is not. trying to fix the issue of even all shorted, all zones say active/trouble
