Help with DSC Power832 system

["Martin Forget" <martinforget@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I need help with my home alarm system.

I want to add a new zone the my current alarm system,a DSC Power832
system with two keypads and no extended modules. I currently have 6
zones installed. Zones 1 to 5 are IR and door contacts while zone 6 is
linked to a smoke detector.

I want to add a door contact to a new zone, zone 7, but I am unable to
make it work. I first tested my door contact by using it instead of an
already working one (zone 1). It worked fine. I went to the zone
definition menu (*8, installer code, 001, then 01,02, up to 07 where
is assigned it the code 01. I wanted it to be a delayed entry like my
front door, but nothing happened. Surprisingly, the zone 7 and 8 where
set to 03 (instant) instead 00 (Null Zone). No wires are connected to
those two zones...

I also played with the zone attributes (107), by setting them to
1,2,3,4. But still, nothing. I open or close the contact, and nothing
happens (the system is always ready, no chimes...)

Another strange thing is that in the bypass menu, only the zones 1 to
6 are displayed. I can't see the zone 7 or 8. I looked in the DSC
documentation to see if there is a way to disable zones, but I can't
see anything.

Does someone has a solution to my problem?

Thank you

Martin
