I have a DSC PC3000 alarm system in my house. I have called the company for service, but they really do not want to support an old alarm and don't seem to want to solve my problem when they come out for repair.

My problem is this. The alarm system works fine except for one minor thing. That is whenever I turn the alarm off in the morning and have a green light on the keypads, I open a door. It can be any door. If I open the door before 6:30am the alarm goes off after the door has been open about 5-10 minutes. It does not go off as soon as I open the door. If I wait until 6:45am to open a door there is no problem with the alarm going off. Can anyone help me with this problem? All I want is for the alarm not to go off after it has been turned off in the morning.

The PC 3000 was a pretty advanced system in it's day. It had an auto arm feature:

From the manual:

"Auto-arm Enable
+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[5]
Entering [6] [Master Code] [5] will enable/disable the
Auto-arming feature. When the feature is being Enabled, the
keypad buzzer will sound 3 beeps and when being Disabled
the buzzer will sound one long beep."

I suspect that someone may have accidentally activated the feature on your system.
