    Default PIR RF940E Never Wake up

    Can someone help me with my PIR installation?
    I found a complete Ultima 880 with:
    RF3212E RF Receiver
    RF3332E Wireless Key
    RF940E 1 PIR
    and I installed it all seam works fine except the PIR detector. When enter in sleep mode, never exit from this estate. You can take it in your hands and nothing happen. Don't wake up never only if you take batteries and insert again or if you open cover, began the Walk Test Mode.
    As obvious I change batteries but all remain the same.
    Thanks in advance for your cooperation

    Put sensor back in sleep mode leave the room some RADIO PIR dont light up when triggered in sleep mode

    So leave the room the pirs is in arm alarm go outside for a smoke or a good 5 minutes renter without disarming and see if zone triggers

    If zone is programmed as silent it may not show up on keypad either

    Most wireles PIR will disable the LED once the walktest mode has timed out in order to conserve battery life so you won't see it light up when you move around.

    Can you see a zone number activate on the keypad when someone moves around in front of it (the PIR)? What zone number is it programmed as?
    Maybe the zone the PIR is programmed as is being excluded in partial (home) arming.

    When you say "enter in sleep mode" do you mean you are "partial arming" the system?

    Firstly, check the serial number is enrolled into the panel correctly, secondly, the walk test feature times out once the cover is re installed (usually about 5 min)

    Arm the system, wait for about 5 mins, then walk infront of the detector, it will go into alarm, the LED Won't come on (battery saving feature)

    What Keef82 said.

    It sounds like your PIR is working as designed. It sends one signal, and then goes to 'sleep' for a few minutes to conserve batteries, sending no further information. That's why I don't like wireless unless hard-wiring is prohibitive.

    First of all ˇˇThanks all of you for your answers ˇˇˇ
    All of you are right, the PIR enter in sleeping mode and don't switch on the light, but it works fine, because the keyboard detect the zone assigned to it showing the number, and the alarm activated.
    I don't prove this test before because I suppose the light must switch on.
    Again thanks all of you
