the pir's light up and do a warmup for 2 - 3 min then light only shows on motion. 1 of them at 1 point did link with the panel but when i went to view zone status it just showed that the zone was closed even with the pir picking up on motion and there was also no green or yellow activey lgihts showing on the portal to indercate the pir was talking the the panel.  cant work this one out

You are aware radio detectors can go to sleep for a while after detecting an alarm to save battery power?

[james.wilson]

I didn't think the gal 2 way went to sleep like old 1 way in this scenario?

[danlad1980]

i wasnt no. but 1 thing that did stand out and correct me if im wrong but it said in the instrutions that after 10 min the led is disabled and you need to press the tamper to re enable it again? these pirs was sat on the side for over 2 hours with the lids on and the leds where still active?

Maybe a stupid comment but can the panel see the rf portal as a module on the 485 ?

Fitted one to a g2/12 the other day and had no issues.

hi Lwillis

yes it can see the rf portal and the door contacts and shocks are all working fine. just cant get any of the 3 ir8m to link to the portal.  was thinking of even rebooting the panel just to cover the chance of it being that.  abit stuck with this one but its nice to know they should work and not a compatabilty issue?

[james.wilson]

Isn't there a jumper for different ages of portal on the pir? Or am i remembering it wrong

[danlad1980]

there is 3 dip switches, 1 is for high and low sen, one is for alpha or V2 and not sure of top of my head about the other.
