    Default Ness D8xD Alarm Panel - guidance for a complete novice!

    Hi guys, I'm hoping some folk here can give me some pointers.

    I've replaced my old home system with a Ness D8xD. It all works fine, I like the LCD touch screens. I can't get my head around how to configure it to do what I want.


    I have the the 'full arm' working well with all door reeds + an internal PIR. It works great for when we leave the house.


    At night I want to arm the perimeter only and ignore the internal PIR. To do this I am using the 'Home' mode.
    I have disabled the PIR and it works well. I have two issues.

    1) when arming the 'home' mode it runs an exit delay - I'd prefer it just arm immediately - it seems I can set it to use delay 2 timer and I may be able to set this to 0 or at least 1 (10 seconds).

    2) when in the home mode if a perimeter sensor is triggered it starts the entry delay. I want it to alarm (siren/strobe) immediately. I cannot work out how to do this.

    As I said I'm a complete newb on this....................

    Thanks
    Dennis

    Hi. Since it's a Ness and widely available....
    Home Mode
    Home Mode allows selected zones to be armed
    while the system is disarmed. For example, this
    is often used to arm door and windows sensors
    overnight, while allowing free movement within
    the premises.
    1. Home Mode will not arm if Area 1 is armed.
    2. Home Mode will not arm if there are no
    Home zones programmed, (P51E).
    3. User codes assigned only to Area2
    can arm but will not disarm Home Mode.
    4. Zones which are to be armed in Home Mode
    are selected using option P51E.
    5. Home Mode can be armed by Keypad,
    Radio Key or Access Card.
    6. Audible outputs in Home Mode (set by
    options P63E 1E-4E) are independent of
    audible outputs in fully armed mode.
    7. If dialler reporting is enabled, Home Mode
    alarms will be reported as normal providing
    that:
    a/ The zone/s are selected to report alarms
    by option P74E.
    b/ Options P64E 1E & 3E are off. (Brief
    Home Alarm, Home Entry Delay2).
    8. Zones selected to be Entry Delay1 zones
    also have entry delay in Home Mode.
    9. If Home Zones Entry Delay2 (P64E 3E) is
    enabled, then all Home zones will have entry
    delay as set by P27E.

    Here's the manual



    If following this doesn't make sense, grab a local technician to sort it for you. They will fix that and more.
