I have had this security system for many years. In addition to the PS561 security consol, I have 6 door/window sensors and 4 indoor motion detectors. Recently the consol has begun chiming 5 times for no apparent reason, no LEDs are lit on the console. Also when I try to set the alarm I get the rapid chiming normally indicative of an open window or door, but none are open and neaither are any of the LEDs lit on the console. I tried resetting the system several times to no avail. Any clues as to why this is hapopening?

Perhaps the batteries are low in one of the sensors?

If the problem Zone is 9-16 you have to hold the BYPASS Button for the Zones LED to light and indicate the problem.

The problem started just after I replaced batteries in all of the sensors and detectors.

Thanks for your help. I found the cause of my inability to set an alarm - a magnet on window sensor slipped down. Hopefully , fixing this will also fix the 5 chime problem.

Did that solve your problem
