Hi All,

I had a new front door fitted and had to fit a new surface mount sensor. I took note of wiring prior and stupidly just cut through all the wires.

It's an Accenta 8.

This activated tamper, I put my code in and the alarm stopped.

I then proceeded to wire in the new sensor.

The door does chime when I open and close it. The tamper light is flashing on and off slowly (service interval reached?)

My problem, if I do "code" and leave the house the alarm doesnt arm. So I entered code whilst in house and waited for beeping to stop... opended door and alarmn doesnt fire.

If I do "code" "prog2" thats my night time mode (disables landing pir) that programme works fine. Alarm fires if sensors triggered.

Not sure what the problem is, any ideas? I have downloaded the manual and am considering factory reset and reprogramme but would really love to avoid this. I dont have eng code.

Why does it make a difference if you wait in the house? :confused:

Are there any stray wisps of wire touching terminals that they shouldn't?

Yes I rewired as before..

I staid in the house so i could see if the alarm panel was flashing or anything

I'll check for stray wires..
 
looks ok to me, the light will stay on for a few secounds if on chime anyway, what lights are on if you close all the doors keep still and set the system ?

just the power light.. the day light goes off when the beeping stops, all other lights also off. If I open door or activate PIR no lights come on.

then if i put my code in - it does nothing... put my code in a second time and it starts beeping as though it's setting the alarm.

I have just pulled power form main unit and disconnected battery for a couple of minutes - no difference (it went into tamper but I cleared with user code)
 
setting sounds correct, but you say once it is set you can open door or walk in front of pir and nothing happens ? is the tamper light still flasing ?

yes - I can open door, walk in front of pir and alarm doesnt fire. PIR light comes on and goes off, door doesnt chime. No lights for any zones come on either.

I then need to put my code in and press reset before lights come on for zones.
 
how old is the system ? what does the end station look like ? small plastic box or large metal box ?
 
more weirdness.. no when i open door it doesnt chime - with door closed if I put a meter across reed it shows 0, with door open it shows 1 - so the reed is operational.
 
if you have powered down the system you may need to turn chime back on.

yeh, its back on now... chime 1 - wait till it beeps, door now chimes again.

what do you think then? full nvm reset and programme? from all I can see the sensors ok, wirings ok - no shorts.. just prog1 doesnt arm... prog 2 arms just fine.
