Hi all,I have a scantronic 9651 protecting my shed at the side of the house which houses my motorbike, its just your standard garden shed made of wood, but i have made it all watertight obviously as it does have electric, outside light, alarm panel and socket for charging things.
My issue is how the alarm behaves during the entry/exit timer. The shed door is set for final exit with 10 seconds minimum,( I want the alarm to go off as soon as possible, however the issue is if I pass the motion detector during the entry timer it sets off the keypad alarm and makes the timer longer before the sirens trigger. The motion detector is set for "normal alarm". The motion dectector is positioned right close to panel but the panel cover blocks the detector view to the door, I have deliberately done this so it doesn't trigger the alarm as soon as i open the shed door, in order to trigger the motion detector you need to be halfway in the shed.(which an intruder will be in order to get the bike out.
So my concern is if the intruder breaks in he will trigger the entry timer but as soon as he is view of the motion detector he will just end up extending the timer so only the keypad will go off. Could I set this pir as entry route so that the panel would just ignore the pir and go off as soon as the entry timer expires? Would this work? I would much prefer the intruder to get an earful from the masterblaster and the elmdene elm300 instead of the laughable keypad sounder.
will setting the pir to entry route resolve this issue? What I am after is for the alarm to trigger as soon as the 10 second timer runs out.
Sorry for long post.
Cheers
