Try Alarmhelp.net for an engineers manual.

Hi Rob/Imran
it seems that you both may have the same problem here. I think that you may have the entry exit door set for guard instead of entry/exit.
I assume that your entry is your front doors and are set as zone 1.
To set them for entry exit.
1/ enter the engineers code [4 digits]
2/ enter 0.0. all the zone lights will illuminate.
3/ enter 1.1. [after the second '1' the current zone setting will illuminate. eg if no 3 lights this means that the zone is set to guard no 6 means it is set for entry exit]
4/ press 6. then PROG, the system will chime and revert back to the programming menu. this should have now set your door to entry exit .
5/ if you enter '1' instead of '6' this should set for entry exit with final door set. this means that the alarm will set 5 seconds after the door is shut. irrespective of the time delay that is already entered. and the strobe will flash 5 times to indicate alarm set.
I can probably photocopy the installation manual and send a copy if required. my email is john@ajtnet.com

why change the engineers code?
Have you reset back to default settings?

Try default code 4321

Hi, I've got the same issue. I'm looking for an engineers manual on the net. for the time being I have to omit the door sensor so that when I return the alarm doesnt come on, but at least the rest of the house is still protected.
