Guest Guest_Simon_* Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I have replaced my father-in-laws control panel with a veritas 8 compact unit the old one had stopped working. Everthing is working fine except the pir I am trying to use as and entry/exit zone. when u set the alarm it bleeps whilst you exit but when you re-enter the pir detects you but does not trigger the entry sounder. I have set the zone as both a guard zone and a inhibited entry and in both these modes it triggers the alarm. Why is it not working as an exit/entry ????

FASTCAR Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi , Its good practice to fit a contact on the ex/ent zone. Have you fully walk tested the system to confirm which pir is activating which zone , as you may be programming the wrong zone.Make sure you give the system time to set (strobe confirmation?), and give the pir time to sense you , some pirs will light up on the first pulse but only trigger on the third.

Guest Guest_simon_* Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I have walk tested the system and all looks ok, I have set the zone as guard an it imediately triggers the alarm it just does not seem to work as entry/exit. It operated as entry/exit on the old control panel ??

FASTCAR Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Dunno then , you havent got 2 detectors on that zone have you?. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7680-pir-entryexit/#findComment-70856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 no all single pir single zone Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7680-pir-entryexit/#findComment-70863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTCAR Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I take it the problem is on zone 1 , then put a short length of cable to simulate the zone wiring , and try again , the idea being to prove a wiring or programming fault.I take it you are full arming and not part?.Also , what shows on the display when you get it to alarm??. ..or default and try again.

Guest Guest Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 the zone is actually zone 3 and ive changed this to be entry/exit. If you set it as guard and trigger it it just shows alarm zone 3 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7680-pir-entryexit/#findComment-70866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Have you pragrammed zone 1 as guard as that is entry\exit out of the box by default. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7680-pir-entryexit/#findComment-70867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Zone 1? Let me put it another way, have you done anything to alter the programming of any other zones apart from zone 3?
