Hi all -

 

Have bought a new alarm PIR (Paradox DG75+) as I wanted one in this room that was pet friendly - I've swapped sensors before and haven't had an issue but am stumped with this one.

 

It's an old Micron Scorpion Z8020 system - yes, very old but still works fine (apart from my wiring of this sensor, it seems!).

 

The old sensor wiring looked like this:

 

 

... and I've wired the new one like this:

 

 

The PIR flashes when I walk in front of it, but the zone indicator doesn't light up on the keypad :-/

 

The zone indicator on the keypad DOES light up when I have the front off the sensor - does this mean the tamper is working?

 

Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

 

Cheers

Put the resistor in to the 'Com' terminal, leave the white in the NC terminal

I think he has the resistor in the NO terminal as well. the NC terminal is not screwed up

This is the answer.

 

You have wired the tamper circuit in correctly but have bypassed the sense circuit.
