ADT Alegro question

when i arm it, just as the timer runs down, the word Motion
dissapears.but the words Doors and Windows remain.
I only have one wireless sensor (the motion detector).I am not using
any door or window sensors.

Any suggestons?
Thanks in advance.

those are zone descriptions. as the exit delay ends the motions sensors
would be automatically bypassed if you don't open a door to let the system
know you are leaving. This is called stay or home mode. Sound like
eveything is ok.

But when i arm the system and then wait 5 mins then walk in front of
the motion detector nothing happens.....
shouldn,t the alarm sound?
Thanks for the quick responce.

No, it shouldn't. The system is programmed to "watch" the exit door
after you arm it. If you don't open a door after arming it bypasses
the motion detectors because you're home.

That's because the motion detector is BYPASSED if you arm the system and
stay inside.

In this case, the motion should be programmed as zone type 15... this will
have it armed when the "doors and windows" are armed. It will still only
say "doors and windows" are armed, but the motion will be armed as well. As
far as testing goes, after arming you will need to stay out of the motions
range for 3-4 minutes to allow the motion to reset before you set it off.
Don't expect the light to flash either.

I agree. Especially when the kits come with 2 doors, a motion, and a
keyfob. Also, the DTIM phone module that the Allegro's use is too
unreliable to be used. Otherwise I was really starting to like that panel
(compared to the Simon 3 anyway).

yes, if you had opened an exit door during the exit delay. How come ADT
didn't put any door transmitters on this system. If you had a door sensor
or 2 then it would work that way. Or get ADT to change the program to
eliminate automatic stay mode.

Can i "arm Zone type 15 only" from the control panel?
