Hi
I recently moved into a new property which seems to have an Orisec CP-40 Alarm (or is that just the model of the control panel for the alarm?).
I have the following instruction manual for it: https://nova-alarms.co.uk/wp-conten...092-W-CP-40E-W-CP-40K-W-CP-40T-User-Guide.pdf
I have an access code with which I can log into the electronic panel, select Full Alarm or Part Alarm, omit or select zones, change settings, etc.
I'm just struggling to get it to work or understand how it works properly. It has three zones - Zone 1 for Front Door, Zone 2 for Living Room, Zone 3 for Landing.
When I select Full Arm, the alarm immediately goes off with a really loud beeping saying that the alarm has been triggered and I must enter the code to stop it.
If I select Part Arm 1/2/3, it tells me I must now exit zone 1 (i.e. front door) - if I open the front door the alarm is triggered and won't stop until I turn it off again.
If I have the front door opened while selecting Part Arm, then it'll immediately go off. So whether the front door is open or not, once it's opened it is all set off.
So do I have to leave my house out of the back garden and through the side alley? Or wouldn't that just trigger zones 2/3 and also consequently the alarm?
Can't I set it so there's a timer that it lets me open the door and get out in a set amount of time? Am I misunderstanding how it all works or missing something?
Thank you
