Hello,
I need help with my home alarm system.
I want to add a new zone the my current alarm system,a DSC Power832 system with two keypads and no extended modules. I currently have 6 zones installed. Zones 1 to 5 are IR and door contacts while zone 6 is linked to a smoke detector.
I want to add a door contact to a new zone, zone 7, but I am unable to make it work. I first tested my door contact by using it instead of an already working one (zone 1). It worked fine. I went to the zone definition menu (*8, installer code, 001, then 01,02, up to 07 where is assigned it the code 01. I wanted it to be a delayed entry like my front door, but nothing happened. Surprisingly, the zone 7 and 8 where set to 03 (instant) instead 00 (Null Zone). No wires are connected to those two zones...
I also played with the zone attributes (107), by setting them to
1,2,3,4. But still, nothing. I open or close the contact, and nothing happens (the system is always ready, no chimes...)Another strange thing is that in the bypass menu, only the zones 1 to
6 are displayed. I can't see the zone 7 or 8. I looked in the DSC documentation to see if there is a way to disable zones, but I can't see anything.Does someone has a solution to my problem?
Thank you
Martin
