With the G4 you can choose what zones are included in the chime mode, so you just set it to be whichever want to chime (i.e. to door contacts, not PIRs).

If you're asking how to use the PIRs to chime only when the door opens, and not when someone walks past them, well that's just not possible unless you can focus them enough so they only cover the door...

 

[breezer]

surely you only put the zones you want onto chime?

not being familiar with said panel the first one on google says its 8 zones, so if you have 8 pirs where are the two doors?

and I will now have to double up a couple of the existing PIR's to allow for the new door contacts.

You need a bigger panel

You should never put more than 1 pir on a circuit. You will be asking for trouble if you do.

Suggest to the customer that as he wants extra work, the panel is not suitable for the extra work and if he wants the doors on the alarm he will have to pay for a bigger panel to acomodate them.

Thanks for your replies

I should have been a little bit clearer

I have installed the PIR's on there own zones in all the down stairs rooms these are covering all the very large windows in the living room, dinning room, kitchen etc.. The rest are covering the built on garage, upstairs landing and a bedrooms built above the garage which can be easiliy accessed from a rear flat roof.

I can wire all the door contacts onto zone 1 (entry/exit) and put them on chime no problem and I will now have to double up a couple of the existing PIR's to allow for the new door contacts. The front door which has a large full length glass panel (which the burglars smashed four weeks ago to gain entry in broad daylight) is covered by a PIR from the bottom of the main staitrecase this is the entry exit zone 1. I would have to encorporate a door contact and PIR onto the entry/exit zone but if I make this door contact a chime so the PIR will trigger a chime every time sombody or the dogs walk into the hall or up the staircase.

Is there a way of putting the PIR in the front hall onto zone 2 and still making it the entry exit?

What I need to do is make it so the client can walk into the house via the front door. This door contact allows the alarm to trigger the entry/exit timer but the PIR covering the same door does not trigger straight to alarm .


cheers

As I said I am not an alarm fitter by trade thats why I came on here for advise!!!!, I am an electrician the client is a friend of my next door neighbour. His friend was burgled in broad day light they came in a stolen removal van and emptied his house when he was working away and he lost everything he had. He could not afford the high prices charged by a registered alarm company and the even higher prices they charge for monitoring the system.


I have fit a basic system with a dialler and he is now very happy, his insurance company will still insure him so If me fitting this system is not to your standards then what can I do lifes too short, he only paid me for the materials anyway. I fit the system for free so what good would come from reporting me to trading standards? After all it is not against the law to fit an alarm system.

sorry you feel this way

stop trying to justify it.
