I've installed an additional zone which consists of 3 door contacts. Since installing the new zone i'm unable to set the alarm system. Upon setting the system all other zone indicators are lit other than the newly installed door contact zone, the system also makes a rapid beeping noise but will not set.

The big boys are right dm, more info needed, but what you could try is disconnecting the 2 furthest contacts, and make sure the first one works; if it does, then I suspect you've wired the subsequent ones wrongly. Add the 2nd one, then when you've got the right idea, add the last one.

But having said all that, why have you added 3 door contacts on one zone, how would you know which one was set off (apart from the obvious fact that it might be left open) but unless the doors are being left unlocked, wouldn't vibrations sensors be a better idea. Has this idea been thought through properly.

Its called being thick/selfish.
Thick they do not give the info we obviously need.
Selfish not saying, "yes thanks that worked" so others can use the search facility..................hang on I`m deluded no one uses the search :P

Alarm, been telling people what you have said for over 2yrs now, it's still the same, no information. Also, don't forget no conformation or thanks if we have managed to help / solve the problem, just think what help that might be to people have the same or similar problems.

Perfect example of why I'm very close to not answering anything here any more.

I cast the magic runes, consulted the crystal ball. Even rang up Paul Daniels.
However all of them are saying the same, what panel?
How did you wire the 3 contacts, series or parallel? Did you program in the zone correctly?

We`re good, but not that kin good.
