Weebryan Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Hi, apologies if this has been asked before. Am attempting to replace an alarm in my mums, dad died recently and she wants the security. They had a Response alarm, wired PIRs and door contacts. 6 core cable, 2 power, 2 detector and 2 anti tamper. Am replacing the control box with oswoo pg100 wired and wireless, hoping to use the concealed wiring and PIRs already in, and wireless for whatever extras she wants. Door contact circuits work just fine but having nightmares with the PIRs. Have wired in the 2 power, and the two for the zone, such that the PIR detects, leaving aside the anti tampers for now which i'll wire into a separate zone for all. I cannot make the alarm trigger though by a PIR going off, except if i interrupt the circuit. The old PIRs are NC, and have the new system set to NC. Can anyone think of anything obvious i'm missing or offer any advice? Its driving me bananas, like a caged lion keeping walking in front of the PIRs lol. Thanks in advance Edited August 16, 2019 by sixwheeledbeast Better title Quote

Specialist Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Remove the 2 alarm wires from each PIR circuit at the panel end, place a multimeter set to continuity across the 2 wires, make sure no one is moving near the PIR to trigger it. With the PIR powered, you should get a tone or very low resistance. Now get someone to walk in front of the PIR and the meter should show high resistance or open circuit, if it doesn't then you have a fault in the wiring or PIR. If the above is ok then you need to look at the panel. Edited August 16, 2019 by Specialist Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

Specialist Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Unfortunately it appears to be a system with one way signalling, which can unfortunately give you lots of false alarm problems. Did you realise that the the alarm can be silenced at the touch of one button ?. This is clearly explained on Amazon for all to see, so all Billy the burglar has to do is walk in & press the button and can then walk around your property at will.

Specialist Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Can't find them listed on the bay mate & Amazon don't know if they'll ever have them back in stock, it's as you said very cheap and comes from China. Doubt there will be any backup provided, another case of you really do get what you pay for. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.
