Hi all,
I've had a Yale EF-Kit2 installed for well over a year and it's worked well however about a month ago, I found a silly offer on more PIR's - 6 to be exact for less than £30 for all 6 so I snapped them all up and finally got round to installing them yesterday along with an additional keypad.
Fast forward to today and I was re-naming + setting the upstairs ones to home omit but I don't understand how they work.
So Home-Omit means I can walk around upstairs (where the PIRs are set to Home Omit) without setting it off.
I can obviously disarm it from upstairs too having now got the extra keypad.
IF I walked downstairs whether intentionally or because the keypad upstairs stopped working, does the system then go into Burglar mode and set the alarm off?
As a test, I stood near the master panel with the additional keypad in my hand to test both out. I set home mode, after 30 seconds, it armed. As I was downstairs, I did a dance but as far as I know, nothing happened in terms of beeps/sirens. Looking at the master keypad, I could see the "Hall PIR" was activated or whatever. 5-10 seconds down the line, still no beeping etc. I quickly disarmed it just to avoid it going off ... if it would have.
So at what point does it go off? How does a guest know for instance that they have walked into a non-home omit zone thus needs to disarm (assuming they had a pin)
Or even me - how do I know I need to disarm it if there is no indication that I've in actual fact set off it's burglar mode.
Manual seems pretty useless so I thought I'd ask here
Thanks all
