  1. There are sensor groups that allow for delays (groups 10, 11, 12) but there are none that allow for the sensor to be open when the system is armed. The only way I can find to allow it is to bypass the sensor while arming the system, but then I dont think it arms them when the garage door closes.
  2. Do you mean sensor group, I dont see anything about zone types in the Concord4 install manual. Im hoping C4wirepro can chime in since he seems to be an expert on the Concord 4!
  3. Thanks yeah everything is working fine now... The AM module failure was just because the c4 system was not yet connected to the module. The only issue I am having now is my system protests anytime I try to arm the system with a contact open. I think with my sister's alarm you can arm it with the garage door open etc, so that you dont have to always close everything before arming, but for some reason mine wont allow that. Can anyone else here arm their Concord4 system with the garage doors open?
  4. Punctuation and grammar go a long way towards people being able to understand what you want to know... I honestly have read that sentence 3 times and dont know what youre asking. I assume this is a language barrier issue?
  5. Just a follow up, the bus 0 error appears to be because one of the bus devices was not being correctly identified for some reason. I manually deleted the bus devices from the programming, powered down the unit and unplugged the battery, then powered back up. The bus that was previously assigned to slot 0 did not get identified on that power up and I started getting sirens going off and all of these errors from multiple devices. I manually inputted the same bus ID numbers as were present before I deleted them, powered down again, and when I powered back up all was well. So basically everything is back the way it was before I did anything but now Im not getting the error. Stupid computers. The AM3 error is still there but I think our explanation above covers it.
  6. Well, I figured out #2... had to rewire the siren as output 2 instead of output 1, and on the onboard options change the trigger to 00410 instead of the default. Now I just need help figuring out the bus failures.
  7. I realize this may be more appropriate in a security installation forum (can anyone recommend a good one with lots of traffic/posts?), but since a lot of people here use the GE Concord 4 system I thought Id try my hand here. I just had my Concord 4 system installed and we are having some problems, #2 being the most annoying: 1) Touchpanel shows Bus Failure 0 and Bus Failure AM3 when I press the '*' key. The Bus Failure AM3 Im pretty sure is just because we have not yet connected anything to the unit and will probably resolve when connected to control4. I have no idea what the Bus Failure 0 is nor how to fix it, any suggestions? 2) Our system touchpanel AND Siren both go off whenever system state changes and for all status beeps. For example when entering or exiting with a delay both will go off every few seconds until the system is armed/disarmed. This is really annoying, I mean I could handle having the touchpanel do that but I cannot deal with the siren going off every 2 seconds for 2 minutes or whatever. Plus, if it is nighttime and I come home when my wife has the system armed to 'Stay' then it will go off until I get inside and disarm the panel, probably waking her and the neighbors up. Ive read the installation manual and the userguide and I cannot figure out how to get it not to do this. I know when arming you can use '5' before entering the codes to do a silent arm, but that still doesnt solve the entry problem since you cant get to a touchpanel before opening the garage, etc. I really need help here, this is driving all of us nuts and the person that installed it doesnt seem to know the answer either. Anyone else with Concord 4 panels having these issues, or is your system always silent unless the alarm is tripped?
