YaleGuy3 said:So in effect if you are moving around in a room where the sensor has gone into sleep mode it will not come out of it as it will not have had a 1 minute movement free period.
Just to clarify the sleep mode.
When the alarm is set and the sensors are active they will only go into sleep mode after they have detected movement. Therefore the sleep mode has no impact on the alarms ability to detect intruders as the alarm would have activated before sleep mode was entered.
Further clarification please. Does the sensor still transmit while in sleep mode ? YaleGuy seems to be implying that in sleep mode the sensor does not transmit a "motion detected signal" but does it still transmit "I am here" signals to prevent the panel timing out.
Suppose at the time the activation message from sensor to panel was being sent a burst of interference blocked the signal. The sensor cannot be told the message was lost so to ensure the activation has got through the sensor should be repeating the "motion detected signal" until it knows for certain the alarm has been activated. Bear in mind a valid signal from another sensor on the same system could be the signal that blocks that (apparently) one shot "motion detected signal".
