Title: Need a bit of help on alarm delay setting
Post by: Ski on July 29, 2009, 12:43:28 PM
Need a bit of help on alarm delay setting.

I have a PS561 voice dialer console and the PSR01 security/home automation remote control. The remote has an “ARM AWAY” and “ARM HOME” button and a slider for MAX and Min.

When I set the slider to MAX, and select “ARM AWAY” I get one min (with beeps every few seconds) to exit the house. When I set the slider to MIN, and select “ARM AWAY” the system is armed at once. NO PROBLEM THERE!  ;D

 ???  Now when I set the slider to MAX, and select “ARM HOME” I get one min (with beeps every few seconds). BUT, when I set the slider to MIN, and select “ARM HOME” the system STILL BEEPS and takes one min to arm!

If I am home, and I select “ARM HOME” I want the system to arm at once. How do I fix this?? I do not have the computer software package.

THANKS for ANY help or ideas!!

Sounds like a bad security remote..........do you have another to check this out?  If not, check the slider switch operation several times and try reinstalling the remote.  My best guess !

was just thinking about you problem, it could be a problem with the unit or possibly one of your door sensors or motion sensor is tripped when you are arming it. I was concerned as to what types of beeps you are getting if a dual tone ( high/low ) usually means sensor trouble.  otherwise the delay beep is the same tone only single ( high, pause high, pause ect. ).
