    Hello,

    Can anyone recommend a Visonic installer?

    I currently have a Powermax + which is installed and up until recently was working perfect. For some reason one day the alarm would not set. I have since restored the factory settings and have no idea how to configure the alarm.

    My set-up consists of 2 key fobs, 2 PIRs and and 5 contacts, two of which have additional contacts added to them. (Wire soldered onto another contact)

    Its a wireless system.

    Thanks,
    b

    Gives a list of some installers that may suit. There is also a link to the PSA register of all licenced installers.

    It is a very easy system to set up. Go into your user menu 1111, then into the installer menu 9999. Go into enrolling to add your devices. Then into define zones to set up the zone types. Perimeter for the contacts, interior/ follow for a PIR in the hall, interior for the PIR on the landing plus delay for the front door contact.
    If you need anymore info let us know.

    Hey Altor,

    I've managed to get the alarm half working. I deleted the contact the kept thinking it was open when it was closed.

    I am now able to "Arm Away" but if I try to arm the home with me inside it the red led flashes on the control panel but it doesn't seem to arm?

    Attached is the deleted contact, I have the same set-up on the window in the bathroom. What's happening here is if I open/close the top window the red led flashes on the main contact but if I open the main contact window no red led flash happens? I know sounds like a bit of a mess, it wasn't myself who installed the system.

    I am thinking its looking likely that I will have to get someone who knows what they are doing to take a look, replace the "deleted contact" and possibly buy more wireless contacts instead of adding extra contacts on like in the attachment.
