  Ano, thanks for the explanation, this is most helpful.  I agree cross zoning on this zone is probably not the way to go.  The wireless sensor is a LV46A001 which I went back to the documentation and see that I can set a 1 minute delay for triggering the sensor.  This would probably get rid of...

I'm trying to understand the cross zoning and how to configure it on my OP2.  I have a wireless receiver on my garage door which will occasionally give a false alarm if someone drives by with a loud exhaust or explodes fireworks.  My idea is to cross zone the garage door zone with a motion...

Ano, thanks for the suggestions.  I don’t think a ring camera would hold up to the rigors of the elements.  The hot tub is on the ocean and the salt would eat it up.  A sensor can be mounted inside of the equipment shed so it will have some protection from the elements.  I looked on home...

I need advice from the OP2 gurus on this sight as to an appropriate sensor to trigger an alarm when a 120v motor is turned on.  My scenario is I have a hot tub out back that local vandals are using in the middle of the night and I’d like to catch them in the act (it’s not simply their use of the...

Neil and Pete, thank you, thank you, thank you, clearing the RAM and reloading the settings solved my problem.  You guys are a wealth of information.

Pete, both keypads are experiencing the same symptoms so seems unlikely a hardware issue.  In addition, the keys are beeping when pressed so the hardware seems to be operable.   Yes to both of your questions on settings.  Weird that this condition would just crop up when the hardware seems to be...

Thanks first thing I tried but didn’t help any.

I have an OP2 4.0b with 2 LV33A001 keypads.  In PC Access I have both consoles set "yes" for "enable audit exit delay" and in areas section "yes" for "audible exit alarm".  In the console "sounder" is set to "yes" and I know the keypad sounder works as the keys click when I press the button.  ...

2 sensors are simple magnetic door sensors while the garage door sensor has a mercury switch that triggers when the door raises. I haven’t kept precise track of temperatures when the false alarms occur but from memory it seems to happen when it’s cooler. I believe the latest false alarm had...

I have a HAI LV45A001 transmitter in my garage with 3 wireless units all within about 15-20 feet of each other. Batteries are new and signal strength shows as medium to strong. The garage area is generally armed from 9pm-7am every day. For some strange reason about 2-3 times per year Ill get...

@ Pete - I did checked all the connections and all were tight so I don't think that was the cause of my problems.   @ Ano/Robbin - my breaker box is in an air conditioned location so I doubt the internal temperature varies more than 65F-85F so I don't think this was the cause of my problems.  ...

Well I received my new PCS PIM and experienced the same issue so I can rule out the PIM being the issue.  So now I have an extra PIM laying around.  Anyways, I broke down and pulled the electric panel cover off and could see the PCS 3-phase repeater had the blue lights illuminated for Phases A...

Ano, your explanation caused me to try some more troubleshooting.  I turned off the circuit which the 3 phase repeater is connected to and then plugged the PIM into phase C.  I still got all kinds of noise so I can 100% confirm that the 3 phase repeater isn't the source of my problems.  I sort...

 Sorry, should have been clearer in my original post.  Yes the OP2 and its HAI PIM is connected to phase b of the power.   The OP2 is able to control devices across all three phases so I think its safe to assume the PSC 3 phase repeater is working properly.  I'm trying to make changes to my UPB...

Ive been running a UPB network for the past 3+ years with no issues. My power is 3 phase and I have a PCS 3 phase repeater installed. I recently tried to make some changes from Upstart while plugged into phase B and I wasnt able to connect to the 3 phase repeater or any devices on phase C. I...
