Hi

I have veritas r8 alarm system zone 1 door contact as entry/exit but i need to have zone 2 the same as when setting alarm going to bed i have to pass hall pir to get to my bedroom so when i get up and go passed zone 2 the alarm goes off imediately

how can i make zone 2 like the front door with a delayed alrm so i can turn the system off before the alrm goes off

please can someone help

i have tried to follow steps from the manual with no direct outcome

regards

roy

I would think you want on entry route. Are you part setting at night? 

no full setting as the upstairs is avaiable for burglars to get in through windows very easy via a downstairs bow window

to an upstairs window

 

You need to program (and use) part set for nights then, this does not mean you cannot have full coverage, just that the behaviour of some zones is different at night, e.g. not an instant alarm but a delayed one.

You can program systems to do whatever you need but the best solution is using the part set.

The correct term for Texecom panels is "Guard Access" or "Inhibited Entry".

You will need to reprogram the Part set function for Zone 2 to be Entry/Exit and the full set for Zone 2 to be Inhibited Entry

OK so please can you talk me through the setting up proceedure for that  i find it difficult t follow the manual as it states

firt put in code  ok

then press 1 2

then press 2 to make it entry/exit but nothing changes

have i wired it up correctly

 

the wire in the pir are from left to righ

black red  blue yellow  green white

 

the alarm box in the loft is

 

black red for power yes

blue yellow foor the zone 2

white green joined in sequence with all oth pir's

do i need to change anything?

 

Option 12 to 2

Option 22 to 1

Clear the panel down to day mode. Use the Part button to test it works

 

That does not help! dont know what you are asking me to do re 'clear the panel down'

looks like i will have to get an electrcian in as starting to get a bit confusing

Probably for the best, but I'd go for a security company rather than an electrician. 

I assume you haven't installed this...?

 

If so may be worth try part setting it to see how the PIR on zone 2 behaves when set on part set, it may be set up as an entry and allow you sufficient time to unset the system
