Not sure. They moved in in February and hasn't worked but unsure if the previous owners had it working 

 

When purchasing a house they or their solicitor should have the common sense to have the vendor declare the alarm working or not, ideally providing a service report dated within the last 12 month.

 

Control, cable or device -

 

Controls, does the controls have 12 volts on the aux supply ? (check fuse?)

Device, does the device have 12 volts present to power it

Cable, does the power cable have low ohms when made into pair. same for tamper & 12hr circuit. & high ohms between every other pair ?

 

Why do I say don't get involved ?

 

Who do you think there are going to ring on an evening or weekend when there alarm won't set, bleeps too much, does not bleep when it should bleep..... YOU

 

Find a local proper alarm co. or tell the end user to find one

I can do basic alarm installs but not had much experience with alarm fault finding but every ones got to start somewhere. The reason I asked on here is because people have experience with different alarms and could be a simple fix

Just don't... the basic stuff is the hardest because there's no proper logs or diagnostics,

 

Something like a euro mini would say something like

 

Fuse Failure 100 31/05/24 11:30,

Silenced by user 1 31/05/24 11:33

 

You then replace the fuse, note the landing sensor does not light up, look in the loft to find a rat has chewed the wire or whatever

 

Alarms are a massive pain the balls, don't get involved.... I regret getting involved  

 

In the words of Zammo Maguire  - Just say no...

This is the pir with model 8IR103. If you scroll down you can see a picture of the terminals

Dude forget eol

 

If you wired tamper and alarm , linking the zone clears the led as you say ,

 

Does it do that on a zone connected to a PIR?

 

If yes reconnect wires , join the alarm wires at the PIR , does it clear the led ? On setting 

 

There's simple methodical approach to this 

 

Just like you would fault find on electrics ? Unless your just first fix then I understand your current approach , (current unintended pun but I think I might use it again ⚡ )

Agreed if start with 1 circuit and work from there. Link out all circuits then start with 1 find out what's wrong with it move on. Start with resistance and voltage etc
