PeterJames Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 When you say flashing red if you mean the LEDs' it supposed to, its a deterrent light. What makes you think the motion detector zone five is not working? is it because the light doesnt come on when you move? If its in a bedroom the led is probably switched off Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44880-no-zone-5-pir-working/#findComment-513372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 You may have two separate faults, these indicators wouldn't usually be related. Some external sounders will display faults with the comfort LED's separately a PIR not lighting up maybe a power/cable issue or faulty sensor. I doubt they are related. When was the system last inspected? These types of faults would usually be picked up as part of annual maintenance.

Rich Lindley Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 It was inspected July time when it was working fine,would only 1 pir go out if a fuse had gone or would it take all pir’s out? also could the red light on bell box be a fuse?

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Contact your maintainer. They should have some idea what kit you have. A fuse blown would take out multiple devices and/or cause the bell to activate.

No they are all normally on the same aux fuse with an Accenta, in any case they fail in alarm so you would not be able to set it. As SWB says the Leds on the BB may be indicating a problem but it would be unrelated to the pir, try setting it and moving around in front of Z5 if the alarm goes off the Led on the detector has failed, that would also give the bell a test at the same time.

Rich Lindley Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just now, Rich Lindley said: Brilliant thanks for help lads Yes the led must have failed as it still sets alarm off. the bell box with green light rings but bell box with red Light doesn’t.

Im guessing you have two? the second is probably a dummy box with deterrent leds Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44880-no-zone-5-pir-working/#findComment-513396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
