My system has a defective wireless motion sensor (model 5890).
1) What do I need to do to permanently disable it?
2) Should I wish to replace it, do you recommend I get another 5890 or a wired sensor. It is located within 3 ft of the control box and running a wire would be very easy.
I have the installer code and have successfully entered the programming mode. The Programming Guide is brutal. | 03-28-09, 08:07 PM |  | Member | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Moore, Oklahoma Posts: 7,604 | | | I'll try to help you.
In the *56 menu enter the zone # that this motion is assigned too. It will then bring up "zone type", enter '00', then *
This should disable the zone until you get a replacement. | 03-29-09, 08:48 AM | | Member | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Ont Posts: 15 | | | Stuck in Programming Mode
Thank you for the quick response. Tried what you suggested but I'm stuck in programming mode, eg entering *99 doesn't take me back to a Ready status. Also appears in Programming mode, AC is disconnected as the monitor is reading No AC.
Any ideas?
Update: I'm back on Ready. Did a restart by discoonnecting the power (AC & DC).

You cannot see the zone programming menus from the fixed alpha model keypads like the 6150. __________________

Update: I did some searching on the internet. My keypad is closest to the 6149EX. It is branded ADT.

You have a fixed alpha keypad. In order to access the zone programming menus you need the 2-line alpha keypad like the 6160 or 6139. __________________

I can't believe they stiffed me with one without full functionality especially when they knew I would own the system at the end of the initial term. Had they told me about the difference in functionality and price, I suspect I would have paid the difference. | 03-31-09, 11:46 AM | | Topic Moderator | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: Gainesville, FL, USA Posts: 7,954 | | | Yes, their standard business model is to bring in a programming keypad and sell the fixed alpha on the entry level systems. They charge a premium for the full alpha model. __________________
