Something is still not right.  The system is up, will arm and both
pads are talking to the main box yet none of the sensors trip the
alarm.
The motion sensor is getting power and is functioning.  The door
switch worked on the old main box.  I tried "test" and "chime" mod and
they do nothing.  There are no error mesages or faults.

The old alarm had each connection wired with a series resistor.  This
manual doesnt really say if the resister should be connected

door    -------------------------- HI
switch ---------------/\/\/\/\-----LO

IR       -------------------------- HI
sensor ---------------/\/\/\/\-----LO
pwr    ---------------------------aux +
gnd    ---------------------------aux -

Is this correct?  any suggestion on what to check?
