Ademco 998PI - detects motion but no alarm

Do you have it programmed as an Interior Follower? Are you arming the system Away? Are you letting the system fully arm? Does the keypad display that zone when the motion is faulted...probly not or maybe?

Do you have it programmed as an Interior Follower? No - i guess i have to go through installer manuals for figuring this out...? Are you arming the system Away? Yes - armed it as away, and it alarms when any door is opened but not on any motion sensation Are you letting the system fully arm? Yes - waiting for like 20-30 seconds for all the noises to end and the system to say 'Away'. Does the keypad display that zone when the motion is faulted...probly not or maybe? - I dont think so - its as if that the main board doesnt realize that motion has been trigerred.

Thanks for tak> Do you have it programmed as an Interior Follower?

Sounds like you have a zone configuration problem. Like... RTFM (Read The Freekin' Manual)! :-)

Yes...you'll need to program that motion detector into the system on whatever zone you wired it to in the panel. Yes...installer manual and installer code and keypad that can get into zone programming (the cheap keypads can only program part of the system, not the zones)... 6139 or 6150 (i think).

First the door chime doesn't work now this, I was told once it's not rocket science

ya remember it was the 60 not the 50 after I posted.
