Interesting point, how can the motion be tested?

If you have programmed the zones for EOL resistors then make sure you are
using the correct value EOLs.
If you have programmed the zones for NC then make sure you aren't using EOL
resisotrs.
Make sure all zones show normal on the keypad.
Turn the alarm on
Open and close an entry/exit door.
Wait for the exit delay to expire and then walk past the motion sensor
Listen for the siren/bell or whatever audible device you have connected.

I armed the system as "AWAY", a message appears saying that I could
exit and
system is going to arm AWAY with lots of loud beeps. The system arms
as "STAY"
which by default disables any interior sensors. I tried TYPE 01 and
10. There are
TYPE 20 and 21 but thats only for a 5800. This sensor needs to be
armed for away but
with a delay as it sees the control panel.

Looks like are 2 issues, the first is that auto-stay was enable so
thats been fixed. The IR needs to be
set to NC for the system to ready. I removed the series resistor and
and set it to TYPE10. The IR still
does not trip the alarm. I metered the HI/LO terminals and it always
read about 13.4VAC whether the
sensors beams where broken or not as indicated by the LED. I would
expect it the voltage to drop to
about 3VAC like the door switches.

Im thinking the IR is broken! ...anyone agree???

I think the installer is broken
