Hi, hope someone can assist. I have an Accenta G4 Mini home alarm system.

One PIR kept setting the alarm off and I noticed the case was cracked so decided to replace.

Old PIR was a Pyronix KX15DT
New PIR is a Texecom Capture D20.

I've wired correctly, positive and negative, yellow and blue to alarm, same wiring in both PIRs.

Tamper wires are not being used in this PIR.

The D20 recognises movement, I get the purple and green LED as well as the blue which signifies it should set off the alarm. It doesn't. I wired back the Pyronix and that works as it should.

Any suggestions please..?
 
Apologies, I've managed to fix the issue. I had to move the jumper so that it bypassed the EOL resistor. I think that's the terminology anyway, but all good now.

Thanks anyway.
 
Without looking at the manuals.

The D20 uses 12V + and 0V -, normally closed it uses an and b alarm and c and d tamper, eol it uses an and d. which is 4k7 alarm and 2k2 tamper.

So the accenta uses normally closed.

So the d20 comes set using eol 2k2 and 4k7.

Set it to zero and the an and b is alarm pair and c and d are the tamper pair for a global tamper on the g4.
