So it is not any perticular Zone? When the chime goes silent. It could be any of the zones being opened?

I have had this problem with couple of door sensors (but not all in same time).   What I found is that the rf signal reaching these sensor were borderline weak... just enough but not quite.  Most of the time they work, 1 out of 5 times they don't.... when they don't.. they stay off for a while.  Interestingly, I never had problems arming the system with these problem sensors.  I had to rotate or reposition (it was on metal... rebar I would guess) in my house.    I have 10 door/windows sensors deployed and will eventually have a total of 17 seventeen.

Sounds more like another console problem.
