Case closed. Happy end.

I've exchanged the PIR:s as mentioned above. Just to be sure that the lenses not caused the failure i changed both circuitbord and lenscover. After the exchange I clean the lenses with a dry fibercloth. Believe or not: the PIR:s functions perfect. They're flashing like a Christmas tree. I assume that I left fingerprints at the lenses when mounting and that's enough to disturb the detection. In a Swedish forum an expert said that sensors after five years lost 50% of their capacity and need to be replaced. Now you can add one more option to the test procedure: Clean the lens after mounting!!! That's all needed. Where can I find stickers to the windows? They used to be included. I apologize if you found me rough and annoying but please understand that it's difficult to express opinions in a foreign language Thanks for your help. I'm very pleased with both Powermax+ and Security Warehouse.. I've order one more PIR!

No hard feelings! Thank you for a very detailed explanation about PIR:s. It maybe benefit other viewers to. It maybe explain why I've noticed that the PIR:s are more sensitive in evenings than in daylight. I'm and old retired man from Sweden (74) and when it comes to alarmsystem I sometimes compare my self with Manuel in Fawlty Towers:

My dog was not involved in the test procedure. Hi was sleeping in a bedroom upstairs. You also mentioned earlier that it

I have a dog approx 10 kg, that's way I use pet sensors. What happend if you found them OK? Do I have to pay for the new ones? I'm not doing this for fun or for have them swapped. Maybe the new ones also failed. I just wanted a reliable alarm system. The same goes for my insurance company. May hall is approx 5 meter long. My livingroom is approx 22 squaremeters. If you wanted I can mail drawings over the area with the PIR:s marked.

Today I spent most of the day to fulfill your request by vacate the house and stay outside for five min:s It took me nearly 3 hours! Here is the result: TOTAL ATTEMPTS. 20 FAILURES: Z01 Hall: 2 Z02 Livingroom : 3 REMARKS: The PIR:s didn't failed at the same time. The PIR in the hall react very different from time to time. Sometimes it react immediately when I came inside, other times it react after I have passed most of the hall and was 1 meter away. The PIR in the Living-room was sometimes completely dead and didn't react at all, even after several minutes walkaround the area. My Living-room is located at south with two windows and today we have summerlike weather. Maybe the PIR is unable to distinguish between body heat an room heat? If so it's impossible to use Powermax+ PIR in a location like this. What comes next?

Of course I can do you a favour but it will take same time because they are only failed sometimes and not both at the same time. Give me a couple of days. Is it the first time you deal with a problem like this?

I'm afraid it didn't help to change the jumpersettings. They are still "sleeping", one of them more than the other but both failed. When I run diagnoses I sometimes get the meassages "NOT OK" from them when I do walktest. As I understand they should react immediately withut two minutes delay when I run diagnose. Please let me know about the next step to solve the problem. As it is now I'm very insecure especially since there have being two burglerings in the neighbourhood over the last six months.

I just checked my PIR:s and found that the upper jumper was factoryset to EVENT2 - Highest false alarm protection. I

Thank you for fast reply! I

Sometimes my PIR:s (NEXT K9-85 MCW) don

My phone is connected to a digital net. Someone knows if there is problem to connect Powermax+ to a digital net (voltage)?

I order a alarm kit 03/28/2009 (Order # 11811). I chosen to pay by bank transfer because i
