[QUOTE="cataluca, post: 434301, member: 28337"] Hi there, I'm from Italy but I prefer to ask in a UK forum because the Pyronix Sterling 10 has been sold mostly in UK. The problem I have is very strange. A few years ago one of the zones resulted "open" even if all dors and windows were closed. Short-circuiting the zone it resulted open as well, so that I used another still available zone and I programmed as "unused" the broken zone. Almost one year later the same thing appened to another zone, and then again and again. At the moment, I have anly 4 zones working, and they are the minimum I need for my apartment. I tried to study the problem, hoping it was only a question of capacitance to be changed or things like this. Well, the strange thing is that each zone is connetted (in the mainboard) to its specific PIN of a microcontroller, but both brocken and un-brocken zones give exactly the same trigger to the microcontroller. In other words, when a correctly-working zone is not armed, the related microcontroller PIN is at 0v, and it is almost 4v (if I well remember) when the zone is armed. Exactly the same thing happens for a brocken port!! It probably means that the problem is in the firmware of the microcontroller. Is it possible? Any idea? I also thought to buy another board on ebay (a used one, the sterlinhg 10 is not produced anymore) but I see that two models exist. One (the one I could buy on ebay) with only two fuses and a long microcontroller with a sticker on it with the written "RTES 014 - Ver. 1.7". The other (the one I have) with 4 fuses and a square microcontroller (RTES 085 - Ver. 1.9). Are they much different? [/QUOTE]
