| ADEMCO 5890PI motion sensor only works in TEST mode
I just had a wireless security system installed, I have 3 door and 2 motion sensors.
They are all wireless, the installer was able to get the 3 door and one of the motion sensors installed and tested no problem but the last motion sensor in the living room (15 feet away from the main control Honeywell LUNXR-2) only works in the TEST mode and will not trigger an alarm in the NORMAL mode, since this unit is battery operated I would like to get it working in NORMAL mode since in TEST mode is flashes the LED light and will drain the battery.
The installer messed with this for 8 hours (no jokes) and could not get it working, after he left, I figured I will read the manual and DELETE / ADD the motion sensor myself and try different things. I have moved the sensor to several locations in the living room, have tried it in pulse ( ON and OFF) with NORMAL jumper setting. I have deleted and added the sensor in different zones such as kitchen and dinning room and have had no luck in getting it to work.
It only works in TEST jumper setting mode, the odd thing is that the other motion sensor works just fine in NORMAL + Pulse OFF and it is upstairs 3 times farther away than the living room motion sensor.
Any ideas?
PS, the installer tried out a second motion sensor in the living room and had the same problem.
Thanks  |
