Re: ADT 5890 PIR Motion Strange Behaviour

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

take it off test mode.
5890's only trip once every three minutes to save battery life...so set it
up normally (test jumper off) leave the room for 10 minutes arm the system
then walk test it.

| Hello All,
|
|    I have two Ademco 5890 PIR Motion Detectors (non PI). I have a Vista
20P
| panel with a 5882 ENH receiver. One of the 5890's works normally as
expected
| with the shorting clip in both test and normal positions. The other works
| correctly ONLY in the test mode. In the normal mode it will not signal the
| receiver (no red or green flashing LED) and set off the alarm. Both 5890's
| have pulse counts set to off. Both units have brand new Duracell 123 in
| them. I would rather not have the LED light on the 5890thinking this might
| waste battery life and also alert a potential intruder(not sure if that is
a
| good or bad point). I could just snip a lead to the LED but don't know how
| this might affect the electronics. I'd rather make sure I am not
overlooking
| something simple first. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
|
| Thank You,
| Bob
