aissecur Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Hi, The display is showing zone 1 as currently open, so if this is what the displayed showed when you disarmed it I so would suggest its an issue with zone 1. Have a look at the detector that is zone 1, does there appear to be any damage to it or the cable that goes it it? Obviously speculating here & would need to be checked out properly but very possibly a faulty detector and or cable ..

Can you not scroll through the "log" to see what activates at night? Or perhaps system battery Or as you say zone fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB RED Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Wow - thanks for fast replies! Ok - when it went of I just put in the code to I set. Saw that error message and then pressed reset and the message then went and the display said 'system unset' i will check out the pir and the cable (the battery was changed 2 years ago) i will now check the log and see what that says and get back on here with the report. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Or is zone one the PIR adjacent the keypad and picking them up? Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I was going to say, 'fault' is stretching it a bit far as I assume all these range of panels are global tamper only*, so 'open (for whatever reason)' seems a more appropriate comment to make. *There was one, single, rareish, Optima that supported EOL though wasn't there?

Thanks That don't make sense , you mean you have entered walk test and that's what picked you at keypad Must be getting old , I am sure in my earlier house bashing days that was walk test procedure , so better you look at log dude and find out why it's going off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accenta ABI supported EOL, there's also the iD Accenta that catches a few people out, as it seems... 1 Quote Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
