House alarm reconnection

[saleem]

Zone one is normally assigned to the door contacts. When you open the door, you want to have enough time to get the the keypad (the RKP - remote key pad), so this zone is set as a timed zone, rather than a "go off immediately" zone, and as it went off after 20 seconds, then that's the amount of time set in the system to allow you to get the the keypad and enter your code. Oh, and you enter the user code, not the password - we'll get you trained up by the end of this thread.

If zone 1 is flashing, then there is a fault with the contacts. When you enter your user code, zone 1 will start flashing, but the it should stop after 20 seconds, so can you shut the front door, and set the alarm, and wait 20 seconds to see if it goes out. If you've got a sensor (a PIR) in the room, then stay very still so that you don't set it off.

Hi.i will try tomorow as you said.when system was powered after power off alarm went off .i put in user code and it went off.i wanted to test outside sounder because the cable was cut off and i reconnected it and fixed on the wall.i asked my son to arm the alarm while i shut both doors and stood outside also asked my son move away from sensor coverage ares.once he set the alarm on after set time i opened the door and after 20 seconds alrm did go off and i keyed in code to silence it.wife tried to set the alarm during night while i was on night shift.she said everytime she tried to put code in it bleebs and nothing happens.nobody has toched the keypad or main unit except out side sounder box as i mentioned before.there are instruction how to program but i am not sure which one to follow.

If you and your son can set the alarm, but your wife is having trouble, then you also need to check how she's doing it. Is she doing a part set or program 2, as you've got sensors downstairs which you don't want to work at night.

We have 4 sensors downstairs and two doors catches.before this power cut everytime we set the alarm on wheather day or night by just putting in cobe everythig worked.you open the doir it goes off or you walk down stairs during night it goes off.i am realy confused wheather we need re programing or we are not re setting properly.may be we are pressing wrong buttons.

You definitely need to program the alarm, but I'm not sure if you understand it enough to do it yourself. This alarm can have 3 different programs. When you put in your user code, the whole house get protected, but you can set up a second program, that stops the sensors being used. This allows you go downstairs at night without the alarm going off. Here is the programming manual for you to look at. Read from page 13 onwards, and see if it makes sense. And I suspect you also need a new battery in the alarm.

Are any other LED's showing?

Does pressing RESET twice clear it?

RKP is Remote KeyPad (a separate unit). Alternatively, you may have a keypad in the panel.

Very good point Securespark, hadn't thought it could be optima compact.

Okay Saleem, can you tell us what the alarm panel is, and is there a separate keypad from the alarm panel. You've got contacts on the front and the rear door, and you've also got 4 sensors downstairs. Is there anything else about your setup. If you come downstairs at night; does the alarm start beeping in the same way as if you open the front door.

yes

But what alarm panel is it, and is the keypad in the alarm panel, or is it somewhere else.

Right, check with your wife how she sets the alarm, and then we'll talk further, but as the alarm went off when you had the power cut, that says you need a new battery in the alarm so that it doesn't happen again. As you only set the alarm in one way, I'm not sure if you need to reprogram it yet.

i believe if i open the main box to replace the battery alarm will go off because it might be temper proof.how do i go about.open the box.if alarm goes off key in code and it should switch off.do i need to take fuse out before opening the main box to relace the battery.

hi.i have tested the alarm today myself.let me explain more clearly this time.we have 2 entrance doors.2 zones are programed on set time and 2 zones are instant triger.zone one indicater was flashing.can not set the alarm with code untill i press reset and day light comes on.now i can set the alarm on with user code.now whichever way alrm is trigered ie during night time somebody comes downstairs or we open external door alarm does go off and by entering user code it goes off.problem we have now is whichever zone is breached to triger the alarm that zone indicater stays flashing after you switch the alrm off by user code.to set the alarm on next time you need to press reset button everytime which switches the day indicater on and you can set the alarm on.i hope that explains this problem.
Another thing i would like is as this alarm is 9 year old.as mentioned to me before i do need new battery.if battery cost is same or close to getting new main box and new RKP then is it not worth going that route.new alarm is about £ 60 i suppose.is it it possible to replace the main box and RKP and leave all censsors in place.wirring is already there jut needs swapping over to new unit.only one thing i am not sure is programming.if i have instruction manual then i could do it myself.

It's not programmed correctly and a battery is around £10

Hi.i tested the alarm all zones today.situation is like this.we have 5zones set up. 2 external doors are one through kitchen and one through hallway are zone one and zone 2.these 2 doors and censors in kitchen and hallway are timed so after 20 sec alarm goes off.living room 1 and 2 and upstairs are another 3 zones.they are instant go off.for example if alarm is trigered through front entrance door entry you canuse the user code to turn it off and it works but zoon indicator stays flashing all the time.same situation if upstairs zone is breached then after turning the alarm off that zone indicater will stay on flashing.you can not set the alarm unless you press reset button .when you do that it switches on day indicator and now you can set the alarm on again.so to set the alarm on reset button needs to be pressed all the time.normaly day indicator used to be on when alarm was inactive .
