I have the following hardware in place.
1864 panel
PK5500 LCD Keypad
PC5100 2 wire addressable device interface module
PC5108 8 zone hard wired expansion module (Configured for zones 33 - 40)
AMB-300 addressable PIRs
I have a few questions.
Since the panel defaults zone 1 - 8 to its hard wire inputs, am I to assume that zone 1 - 8 on the PC5100 is not usable and I should start enrolling AMB-300 serial numbers starting at zone 9?
I have connected 1 of the PIRs to the PC5100 to understand the programming and make sure I can see it with the plugin before I run a bunch of wire and install all of the PIRs around the house.
After programming the serial number into the PC5100, I do not appear to get motion detection when I walk in the detection zone. The LED on the PIR does not light. When I put the PC5100 section 97 option 1 (Walk test LED ON) to ON, the LED on the PIR does light when you walk in the detection zone. When I turn the option OFF, the led does not light when you walk in the detection zone. If I understand the documentation correctly, with the walk test option on, it only checks for detector operation but does not generate a zone open back to the panel? If this is the case then why does the PIR not show detection when the walk test option is turned off?
I have verified that the panel can see the expansion module (zone 33 - 40) and that the panel is supervising the PC5100.
Now I did make some changes in the hardware configuration in that I originally configured the expansion module for zones 9 - 16. This, I think, has caused some issues with the plugin I am using, but I will deal with that after I verify the proper operation of the addressable PIRs.
Any ideas on why the PIR does not appear to be detecting motion?
