Thanks for the advice and warning about only using only 1 9 yes no code I take it this ONLY resets the codes to default 5678 and does not reset the complete system back to factory default that will then require a complete set up from scratch Also now found the correct green and white wires for...

Sorry for all the questions just had another thought trying to protect the garage from intruders forcing the garage roller door open as the rear entrance is cover by the original pir Could I just fit a simple magnetic Reed type switch to the base of the door that is NC when the door is shut...

Hi ok check pcb and no resistor for zone 6 just two spare terminals I suppose if I try a reset and it works that resets the the whole system and not just the engineer code so I would need to / learn to reprogram all the system for scratch? just going back to the original idea of two pir wired...

Ps seems that some installer let “lock” the system and the only redress is returning the pcb for a factory reset ? best wishes Al

Not sure what you mean by check pcb is there a jumper connector or switch that enables / disables the engineering code and if there is what am I looking for please best wishes Al

Tried 1234 and 5678 and nothing so looks like it’s locked☹️

This is how to reset the system

Found this too in the programming manual so look like if needed I can reset the system if locked

Ok before I do all the wire work i guess i need to see i I can actually first get in to the system to check it is not “locked” as I guess if it is I am stuck any advise on how to do this please as if I can get in I just then need to add a zone thanks Al

That’s a good idea using the spare wires inside the original pir for the alarm side of things to save my a cable run direct back to the control box I guess for the the green and white wire in the photo I just need to find these at the control box end as they should not be terminated and this...

Also check control box and there is a spare zone but being a wired system the garage is the furthest point from the box and a cable run is very difficult at best I know having two pirs in one zone is not the best but can it be done so you have two pirs on one zone please? MTIA Best wishes Al

Another pic

Pic of original pir connection

Hi thanks for the quick reply just checked and no resistors just these connections Red on 12v Black on 0 Yellow on alarm and blue on tamper would post a pic but don’t know how thanks Al

Hi all I have an old guardtec 800 system and want to add another wired PIR in the garage to protect the garage from entry via the garage door There is already a pir in the utility’s room on the back of the garage that protects the back door entrance can I just wire in parallel the new senior...
