Visonic setup help

[hughwatkins]

Hi,

I'm setting up a new Visonic powermax complete.

What type of zone should a front door be?
I've set it as Delay1 but the alarm goes off immediately you open the door when Armed Away. I want it to allow an Entry delay but it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks a lot.

From memory I think it should be Zone 1 which is set as delay1. This is the default. You can also define what a zone does or is. This is menu option 3 in the install menu and you can then choose the zone number and then define the zone this should be menu option 4 which is delay 1. Zone 1 is this by default. You can also define exit and entry delays.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. The problem seems intermittent.
I've got it set up for Delay 1. But today the alarm went off immediately I opened the door. Yesterday, it worked ok and gave the entry beeps.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't happen to have another sensor like a PIR in the hall do you? If so, it will need setting to Delay 1 too else it may be triggering the alarm - don't ask me how I know this

Solved the issue

I managed to work out the issue.

My front door sensor was set to Delay 1. But when I was using the powerlink2 website to set the alarm - I was accidentally doing Instant Arm (by clicking twice not once) not a normal Arm Away. Instant Arm removes the entry delay on a perimeter sensor. Hence the alarm was going off instantly on entry.
