[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 850498, member: 746"] I am 95% sure it is the PIR detector. Alarm panels, especially new ones, do not behave like that The other 5% relates to the cable. Is it stranded or solid? Short the end of the green and white and measure it at the panel. It should be under 10 ohms unless it is a long way off. Are there any joins in the wire? These can can cause trouble I had a similar case which turned out to have been caused by the beetle inspector clomping around in the roof with his size 12 boots. He tore apart several cables, joined them as he thought was right, but didn't tell anyone. 6 months later they were corroded. This was a beachfront house in Big Bay. Plenty of fresh sea air about [/QUOTE]
