I have just installed the Honeywell accenta/optima gen4 alarm systemonly using pir's and 1 PA, zone 1 is the exit PIR, zone 2 is strapped out not used, then zones 3 to 7 are used, all wiring correct. When I set the alarm on exiting the building, you get slow beeps untill I move away from the panel then you get fast beeps, the system has detected me? When I leave the building then enter later, after putting in the code I have to reset the system? The alarm works ok when false entered, any ideas? Any help would be appriciated.
Problem when setting alarm on Exit?

programmed in correctly
use zone 2 as the PIR (access circuit)
and put a door contact on the door and put it on zone 1 (final, entry exit)
that is the better way to do it

Thanks for the reply. However, I only want to use the PIR's and no contacts, final door is metal therefore, I have linked out the first zone. Still have the same problem??
program it correctly!!
it comes as
circuit 1 entry exit
circuit 2 access
all others alarm
Other than 8 which i think is either fire or PA
so put your pir on circuit 1 and loop out the others that are not used

I have the g4 installed, test and all wiring ok, I have zone1 with a PIR next to the door and the control panel, z2 linked out, z4,5,6,7 to different rooms and z8 linked out, all on PIR's. I have set z1 as timed inhibit, but when I arm the system immediately I move from the control panel the system activates, ie the bleeps get faster and it gives a setting fault? However, I can then leave the premises and when I break in the alarm will only go off after it automatically resets? It's driving me crazy.
It's working correctly for the incorrect way you have installed the alarm.
I'm a little confused with "I can then leave the premises and when I break in the alarm will only go off after it automatically resets?though.
Does this all fit?
Turn on alarm, move towards door, picked up by PiR, tone changes, go outside, shut door, tone changes, tone then stops.
Return home, open door, (nothing happen?), enter, PiR picks you up, tone changes. go to panel, turn off.
If you don't turn off, full alarm.
The above is the wrong way to fit an alarm.
A contact on the front door is what is needed. It's the correct way to do things. > Example.
Have a break in through the hall window, with door connected, instant full alarm.
Have a break in through hall window, with no door connection, Entry timer starts, 30, 45, 60 seconds to do what he likes, get the idea now.
Return home, open door, Entry timer starts, (PiR would automatically switche to be an Entry detector), go to panel, turn off.
If you don't turn off, full alarm.
The PiR connected to z2 would be an Entry/Exit circuit, the door a Final Exit circuit.
A 'metal' front door is no reason for not fitting a contact. It's the CORRECT way to do it.
ps
If this was a Pro system, we're not allowed to have movement detectors as the Final Exit circuit, for reasons above.
