I seem to be having a hardware issue with my SEM01 & attached SEM02, Neither of the the units will take my PIRs they constatly flick between active & inactive the setting used for these particular PIRs (the SEM01 & 02 work fine with door contacts and relay sensors).
Digital
NO
50ms
So far I have had to move the pirs to Comfort II ULTRA Control Panel for them to work and they also work on the SEM02 in the Ultra panel, This is the only workaround that actually works this is the first time I have tried to connect these PIRs to the SEM01 panel I did recently upgrade the firmware but cannot be sure if this made any difference as I did not have them connected up to teh SEM previously also because I am not currently installing a panel for anyone at the moment I cant test to see if it is a hardware issue.

Do you mean you have the CM9000 and SEM02 on the same enclosure, and another SEM01 and SEM02 on another enclosure
Your SEMs should have ID 1, 2, 3 without any conflicting IDs
Why did you not use LEMs instead of SEM02 in the enclsoure. Does the SEM02 have LEM connected as well?
Note that SEM 1 Zone will be 17 to 24, SEM #2 zone wil be 33 to 40, SEM #3 zone wil be 49 to 56,
PIR normally will be active for a few seconds then inactive (when it stops detecting motion). So I am not sure that you have a problem at all

My apologies LEM01-M2 connected to CM9000 & SEM, the SEM with attached LEM will not work wit the PIR, as per other message works fine on the CM9000
When the PIR is connected to the SEM or attacehd LEM on the SEM it continuosly reads active inactive with a 1 to 2 second interval even without and with movement in the area.
Done a continuity test on the cable and insulation test on cable which comes up fine and the PIR as I said previously works fine when connected to CM9000.
Am planning to do a short cable run to test it directly at the SEM to see if it works later on this evening.

Applied new wirring to the PIR and attached to the LEM + SEM tested on zones 29 through to 32 with no success pir constantly triggers back and forth every second. At present the only way round this problem is to use 1 through to 16 zones which seem to work perfectly with the PIRs.
I get the impression that it is the zones on the sem/lem 29 to 32 are acting as though they are pulsing! unfortunatly I have no idea how to test this theory......

Can you save the latest file and send the cclx to support@cytech.biz?

Have now sent the CClX file, had another thought that if the power supply is faulty this could turn the PIRs on/off registering it as a inactive/active

Thanks the file is perfectly normal
If the power supply is faulty then there could be a problem
Do you have a backup batytery connected to the Slave>?

Yes there is a backup battery Yuasa NP2.12S 12V,2.1Ah
Battery reads 13.47V across the terminals.
Battery charger reads at 13.50V
12V & Com reads at 13.65V
Looking at that I dont think it is a power issue, I think there is something going on with the SEM & LEM

The PIR is the same as a magnetic contact exceopot that it will go on when motion is detected and Off when motion stops
so you should see an On off sequence or On. off. oo.off if there is constabnt motion
To test, disconecct the PIR from the slave zone and use a shorting wire to simulat the PIR. if you short the wire, the zone should be iff, if you open the wire the zone should be On and shiould remain ON (not on.. off)

I had already done that from the begining, the pir works on all zones 1 through to 16 using all the same settings. it is only when connected to 17 to 32 that the issue starts to occur with the pirs. as I said currently the PIR have been moved to the zones 1 through to 16 to by pass this fault. I will do a firmware downgrade sometime this week and see if that has any impact and update you.
