Update: I have added the jumper/dupont in zone 4 between Com and Z4. Zone 4 is still active. (PS, there is another reply just before this I made on page 2, this overflows from that) I also then changed the dupont for a resistor to emulate EOL resistor

Zone Type = Instant Zone Wiring = NO Partition = 1

Program your zones as above

 

Remove ALL wiring from controls apart from Mains. Check they are all Secure.

 

Use wire links between your Z and Zcom to check the zones go active when linked.

Hi SWB, I removed all wiring per your instruction, set zone 1 to instant, wiring NO, partition one. here are the pics.

 

So does Zone 1 change state when you open and close the circuit?

Nope, no change with or without the jumper cable

Try and set the alarm with the circuit open then close the circuit to set the alarm off?

Maybe try the 3 other zones too, you will have to program them in like zone 1.

If nothing is changing state then it maybe knackered, I can't think of any other reason.

Something seems broken if the panel is showing Ready but the NO circuit is closed.

 

I've armed the armed partition 1 just fine. I then closed zone 1 through 4, one at a time, then all together, no changing of states at all.   

yes without actually seeing it etc to confirm it sounds goosed

Well thank you guys very very much. I really appreciate the help I got! Much more than I expected. I'll see if I can save up for a new panel. There's a supplier with the Premier 412 8 zone for R1,027.41 so I'll see if I can get that next month or the month after. or would you guys recommend a different one? the others are pricier so may take longer to save for them.
