Pyronix Silence 1st Alarm problem

[paul_c]

Hello Pyronix experts.

I've got an Enforcer V11 with the "Silence 1st Alarm" option enabled as I want triggers from 2x sensors before the bell sounds and I annoy neighbours.

Ignoring the rest of my setup for simplicity, I've got 3 ground floor rooms: Hallway, Lounge, Kitchen:

Hallway
- Entrance door with a Wireless mag contact, set as [07] Final Exit
- 1 PIR, set as [08] ER

Lounge
- PIR, [06] Intruder

Kitchen
- PIR, [06] Intruder

If I full set, and then sit still in the Lounge for 3 mins, it behaves like I'm trying to achieve, in that I can move about in the Lounge and the siren is silent (I get the Unconfirmed Alarm message in Home Control 2.0). As soon as I walk into Kitchen or Hallway and trip a 2nd PIR the siren sounds. This is what I want to happen.

However, if I full set and go outside via the FX, wait 3 mins and re-enter via the FX the entry timer starts as expected. The PIR in the same room does nothing (like I'd expect). But if I then walk into one of the other rooms and trip a 2nd PIR in that room nothing happens apart from "Issues" immediately report in Home Control (referring to sensors being open), the panel beeps like it's in a fault condition, and the siren does not sound. When the entry timer runs down to 0 the siren still doesn't sound - the panel just sits beeping as if it's in a fault.

The manual does state that Silence 1st Alarm is only valid once the system has been armed for 3 minutes and "not if the entry time has started". I don't understand why it's not valid if the entry timer is running. And I don't understand why in this configuration I create "issues" when additional PIR's are triggered during the entry timer and the siren doesn't sound at the end of the entry timer.

Any ideas?

So entry stray logic is what you’re referring to. Not sure where on the pyronix you can change this as it’s a system I don’t do regularly, I would have to read the manuals. The next question is what are your entry timers set to and have to tested this to the point of you start entry and it expires and then activate a second zone.

This is a standards thing, which effectively delays the alarm sounding during entry. As a self installer you don’t need to install to the standards.

It sounds like correct operation not the operation you want.

Check the manual for entry stray.
