Fordy Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Hi, I have just moved into a new house and a slightly perplexed by the setup of the alarm. It is a Scantronic 9448+ I have performed the walk test and discovered that I have one sensor downstairs on zone 2 and one sensor upstairs on zone 1. However when I enter the house having set the alarm both the internal sounder and external alarm go off. Looking at the panel there is another LED called entry/exit, and this leads to my confusion. I would have expected one of the PIR sensors to have lit up the entry/exit light when I did the walk test?? I assume that the external alarm is going off because I have not triggered the correct sensor on entry/exit, instead I have entered and triggered the sensors in zone 1 or zone 2 I can't see any other sensors which I could trigger which could be connected to entry/exit. Is it also possible to change the default entry/exit route, from reading on the internet is seems like you can set something called the zone 2 entry route but I'm not sure what that means. Can anyone offer an opinion as to whether... a) The system has been wired incorrectly and infact the zone 2 sensor (downstairs) should be wired to light the entry/exit led? B) It is likely that there is another sensor that I have not found connected to the entry/exit? (although I have looked quite carefully) c) The system is not configured correctly? Any help would be much appreciated!

Any help would be much appreciated! is there a back door, and was it the front door before? That could be the problem.
