Hi

I recently installing a new Vista 20P panel. I have 2 issue with the current setting.

1. My hardwire motion sensor does not response to movement. I can see the red led ON. The control panel does not show any zone Faulty. My RF zone work very well. I think I might not connect the hardwire correctly. I did not see any wiring instruction. Here is how I connect it.
sensor + ------> zone2 (+) terminal
sensor - ---EOL----> zone2 (-) terminal

2. Everytime I arm the system, at the end of the count down the siren turn on for 1 sec then turn off. Did I fotget to set any setting?

Motion detectors are a _4-wire_ device. + and - power for the motion should be connected to the same terminals that supply power for the keypads, and the zone wiring should be connected to the common and NC terminals.

You probably turned on the *38 "confirmation of arming ding" feature. Enter *38 0 0.
