I have just moved one existing PIR and extended the wire by about 2m. On power up, the power light is on, all the zone lights come on, it seesm to accept the pin code, the internal sounder bleeps but the system will not set. The PIR wires are connected correctly. No prior problems with the system. Any advice appreciated.

did you power the panel down (battery and mains) to do the work.

Press reset 3 times. Then try your code.

If that doesn't work try 0123or 1234

Has the keypad locked up. When you say it just beeps, is this on its own or when you press a button.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your quick response. Much appreciated.

1. I didn't power down the battery (forgot!)

2. It beeps when I press the buttons to insert the pin code - just as normal, but the system does not set.

Providing you are sure the connections are correct.

Check the fuses with a meter.( replace any that are blown)

Power the system down (battery and mains) wait 15 secconds power it back up(mains then Battery).

Then try your code.

Colin.

had a thought,

when you put your code in does it try to set.

Colin, Thanks again.

In reply to your last thought, it does not set. I put in the PIN code as normal, the control panel bleeps and continues to bleep but does not set.

A point about fuses. Are these on the pcb or elsewhere?

okay the fuses are on the main pcb.

if when you close the lids and reset the system everthing is okay. then when you enter your code the system tries to set but does not, what zone lights are on, if it is the zone for the pir then, there is a wiring fault. does the pir normally have a light to show it is sensing(if yes is this working if it isn't then you have blown a fuse)

Hi Colin,

Many thanks, again, for this help. I will follow your suggestions and let you know how I get on. I think a fuse may be the problem from what you say.

best wishes

Hi Colin,

It was a fuse - and a duff PIR. Again, many thanks for helping me out.
