This afternoon i attempted to replace 3 of my 5 PIR's for my alarm system.
I used the engineer code to put the system into tamper to prevent the alarm going off an replaced the first PIR.
At this stage i came out of tamper / engineer and did a few tests on the new PIR, seeing that the LED came on at the right time, making it chime etc and everything was fine.
I then installed 2 more in the same way but much to my regret now i did not test them seperately after installation.
When i thought the job was done i went to my main control panel (Accenta/Optima G3) and tried to reset.
When i pressed the keys they now only made a VERY quiet beep, i tried to reset the system, i get a beep beep as if it is setting but much quieter and slower than normal and the alarm does not set - the beep just continues.
I have triggered the internal alarm by opening the main box and this too is very quiet (when the tv was on you couldnt hear it)
The alarm has gone back into day mode but none of the PIR LED's are coming on.
I have gone back to check each of the PIR's and they look to be wired in the correct way (like the first one that worked ok).
I also disconnected the battery and turned of the mains hoping it may reset itself.
I am guessing that maybe i have shorted / blown a fuse in the main unit, or i may need to disconnect the PIR wiring from the main unit and attach it again? can anyone reccomend the best way to diagnose the fault?
