I am in a school with an old Galaxy 500 (V4.5). Looks to be working grand with door contacts but it seems that none of the dual tecs PIR are detecting movement - and we have dozens of them. I can set the alarm and then walk around the school and the alarm does not trigger until I open an external door. What could be wrong?
No PIR's working

They have been turned off in programming ? Or you are setting it incorrectly ?

Post picture of detectors ...
normally when a PIR doesnt work but contacts do, its power related, although you would expect the zones to remain open and the alarm not set if the pirs werent powered
possibly hard to say, this is why annual maintenance is a good thing as the system is tested and any issues brought up and the devices replaced.
depending on how its wired, you could test the system manually, to see if panel sees the change of state.

Yes as before post pictures of detectors. For further comments ....
Did the alarm go off when you removed the cover ?
....does the red light come on when the front cover is back on and you walk around in the room ?
