Dear master, I have a Paradox 465 that connected to the system [Immediate type], with no resistor in the connection. For the first day, the system works normally. But on the 2nd day, the sensor will trigger in the midnight. Checked the sensor area, does not have curtain, light, pets that cause the alarm. So, suspect that is a false alarm. I have returned the Paradox 465 and claim for a new one, but same thing happen. Is there any way I can check if the zone trigger for twice, then only I take it as a real alarm? I have tried to set the alarm type to [Alert type], but it get worst where the alarm will keep trigger. Is there anything I can play around with the Response to check if the alarm trigger twice after X seconds? Sorry for my bad english. Thank you! Regards, Evard |

You can modify the response below as the PIR Zone Response This is similar to the Default Response Vibration Analyser Timer 8 is for timing and counter 7 for counting If at least 2 counts are detected within 30 seconds, the alarm is triggered you can change the timer setting of 30 seconds and the count of 2 as you need If Timer Timer08 = 0 Then Do NullResponse After 30 Seconds Using Timer08 Set Counter007 = 0 End If Increment Counter007 If Counter Counter007 >= 2 Then Stop Timer Timer08 Else Skip Alarm End If At each zone trigger, the timer 8 is started and count is reset if timer 8 was not running The counter is incremented. If the value < 2 the a;arm is skipped If the value is >=2 the timer is stopped and the alarm is not skipped, ie alarm is activated |

Dear slychiu, The response is working. But the result still not as our expectation, because the PIR sensor only detect the second trigger after 3-4 seconds. Would like to ask, do I need to connect external power supply if my system has 3 - 4 PIR detector [Paradox DG85 & PA 465] and 1 smoke detector? Because the system is working abnormal. When the PIR sensor triggered, it will keep to trigger until we restart the system. Then, after triggered again, we need to restart again. This issue is randomly happening. |

The PIR is triggering falsely or it is detecting something that causes it to trigger You do not need a separate power supply. Comfort supplies 1 A which is enough for many PIRs, and each Slave also supplies 1 A separately The PIR keeps triggering continunously? This looks like a fault in the PIR or the wiring |

Dear slychiu, Finally problem solved after changed another model of PIR sensor. Previously, we return 2 same model PIR sensor and the problem still exist. Thank for the help. |
