Haveagoatanything Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I have purchased 4 new ‘Capture P15 AKB-0001’ PIRs to swap out the old none cat friendly texecom AAA1000s. I naively thought that it would be a simple task. I made a note of what wires went into which terminal and did a like for like swap with the PIRs. After I powered the alarm back up, I got the blue light from the PIR when it detected movement but when I set the alarm it didn’t sense a thing. OLD PIR WIRING (left to right) 0V- green 12V+ white Alarm red Alarm black Tamper yellow Tamper blue NEW CAPTURE P15 (L to R) 0V- green 12V+ white alarm A red alarm B black tamper C yellow tamper D blue Can anyone tell me where I’m going wrong, I would be most grateful. thanks in advance james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Maybe the system never worked before Did it still light up when you did the armed test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haveagoatanything Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 The system has worked for the last 3 years. However I can’t be sure this PIR worked when armed! The new pir didn’t light up when there was movement when armed but did when not armed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 "Worked" is relative. It can seem like it works, but I mean fully functional system. They do have a Remote LED feature but it's unlikely to be used if wired like you say. Does the alarm activate irrelevant of the LED on the device.? FWIW no movement sensor with be 100% pet proof, a different system design with perimeter protection would be the preferred option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imnotshankled Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Have you tried fitting the old PIR temporarily and testing that Are all the other PIRs working ok What panel do you have Is it a veritas as it could be wired to a switched output and or the zone linked out Edited November 7, 2022 by Imnotshankled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haveagoatanything Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thank you all for the replies. late finish today so I haven’t been able to do anything with it. The plan so far is 1. take a photo of the current new PIR with wiring. 2. Set the old PIR up, take a photo of the wiring and do a test to see if this triggers the alarm when it is on. 3. Test the other zones too to see if these trigger the alarm when it is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
