Hi, I've installed a PC1616 with RFK5501. Everything works fine except the wireless zone. I have one vanishing wireless device. The problem is the wireless zone doesnt cause an alarm when the system is armed. I have the wireless sensor assigned to zone 7. For zone 7 attributes, I have *8 5555 [107] 01 1,3,4,6,8. I have properly set the ESN, and in 904 wireless test mode I get the green light/good result for zone 7. In *8 5555 [202] i have zone 7 on. All my wired zones properly activate the door chime when triggered, the wireless sensor does not. The alarm will arm when all wired zones are ready, regardless of the wireless zone status. It seems to me that the wireless sensor is programmed yet it's not being recognized by the alarm. Your help is greatly appreciated.

do not enter 01 after you enter 107. when doing this, the 0 takes off all attributes and 1 turns on just the number 1 in the attributes. program this...*8, installer code, 107, 123468.
then # to exit programming.

Thanks for the reply. According to my installation manual, the 01 is needed to set the zone to delay entry. As for the attributes, when I *8 [installer code] 107, all the attributes show as correct on my lcd display (it shows all the numbers). I'm not sure that solved my problem(?) Do you have any other thoughts on this? Thanks again.

Wrong programming location for that 01. Zone type and Zone attribute are two different programming locations. Don't mix them up.

The 01 to set the zone as a delay goes in the 7th segment of location 001 to set zone 7 as a delay zone.

For zone 7 attributes, I have *8 5555 [107] 01 1,3,4,6,8. i just see that you have 01 after the 107.
