Pyronix enforcer Area C entry timer help

[Craig242]

Hi all,

I'm after some help with regards to recent changes I made to the enforcer system.
For reference I have had this installed for over 2 years without issues using full set/night set daily.

I recently added area C to the mix, arming everything as per A with the exception of a garage door sensor as per my requirements.

My issue is when I come home with Area C set, the entry timer on the front door is not initiating and instead sounding the alarm.

If A/Full set is used, the entry timer on the same door contact starts without issues.

Does anyone know why the door contact would behave differently for the 2 areas? When creating area C I just added 'C' to the inputs I wanted to use and didn't mess around with the input type (as I want the door contact to behave the same in A and C).

Thanks,
Craig

What’s front door programmed as ?

What’s front door programmed as ?

I'd have to check when I'm home and report back.

Does the area set alter the input type? I assumed that because the entry timer is started on the front when A is set, it should also start when C is set. Obviously not the case atm.

It should if set as 07 final exit

Check the entry time for area C.

Just checked, programmed as 10 - FX (part ER)

Check the entry time for area C.

Checked, set as 30secs

That’s why ....10 fx ( part ER ) is final in A ....alarm in parts , it needs to be 07 final

Would the front door still alarm if set in Night Mode though? Or would it start an entry timer?

Basically I'm after: A or C - start entry timer. B - Alarm

 

[sparkymarka]

Can’t do it as it effects ALL the parts B C D

 

[Craig242]

So basically "A or C - start entry timer, B - Alarm" is not actually possible with front door set as 07 or 10?

 

[sparkymarka]

That’s correct

 

[Craig242]

That’s correct

*******s. Any other suggestions for a potential work around? Only thing I can think of is remote disarming the house via the HC app before going through the front door (when C is set).

Option 1 leave the door as entry exit in all parts ....no big deal
Option 2 fit another contact to the door in set as intruder but only have it active in B

So what would the input be for option1? That would start the entry timer if a burglar managed to open the front door when B is set right?
