Scantronic 520r Battery Replacement Issue

Hi,

I've had the 500r system for around 17 months now...long time on one set of batteries for each device.

The door contact batteries have been changed with no probs, put on changing 2 of the PIRS I notice the LED now comes on with every movement, flashing 4 or 5 times...

Ive put the system into test and it sends the signal to report the alarm/pir being triggered so the system works, but why oh why does the PIR LED now flash all the time?

I have one PIR still to do, in the lounge, and dont want a disco so how do I stop it?

The only thing I can think of is that I set the tamper off when I changed the batteries, although the 500r panel has always reset no probs.

Will this drain the batteries? I notice the average is 14 months on a set of duracell, I've used Duracell Plus and although the PIR battery warning light has not shown I want to change them before the holiday period.

I waited about a minute as I'd heard that replacing the batteries straight away can cause a battery drain issue.

Thanks.

Another Newbie.
