9651 Panel Adding A New Pir

[Rulland]

No disrespect to anyone here,but having an engineer code and a manual doesn't make the OP an alarm technician imo.

If someone cannot grasp the basics of a resistor in the panel-then really they should not be attempting diy additions-they clearly are in above their depth.

I however am not going to try and guide someone through one step by step.

Neither am I. I was pointing out that you shouldn't need to find the resistors with that sensor. If you can't work it out with(out) the manual, time to call someone in.

I agree, did not look at the sensor until you mentioned it and saw what it was.

Hi guys

This is my 1st post on this site I am not a security installer just a home owner who needs some advice

I have a scant tonic security sys that is configured for FSL

Lounge sensor keeps setting the alarm off with the message lounge tamper! I was told to change the 4k resistor which I have done this solves the problem but only for several weeks when I have to change the resistor again.

Can some one tell me why do I need a new sensor?

Regards T

Try soldering the cable to the resistors and then fit nice and tightly.

Make sure there are no shorts to ground or power.

Does it matter if the 12 v wire are crossed ?

If you cannot understand the significance of what you have just said you need to stop, have a think and call someone in.

[Tony-Y]

Yes I do understand the difference between ac and dc current.

Not sure of the nuances of crossing pos and neg.

If you can't help at least try to be less condescending

Thanks

T

I`m not. What I am doing is stopping you at the minimum going through a box of fuses.

And we were not talking about AC Voltage as far as I know.

Current is what is drawn by the device.

I suggest you re-read post #17.

when you say cross? do you mean short or getting the polarity wrong?
