So it’s not possible to conduct a panel walk test without the power save feature, ie have the panel chime each time I trip the sensor?
No. Entering a walk test on the panel will not affect the power save function on the PIR1. Simply wait a couple minutes outside of view before attempting activation.
Note that this type of test lets you know sensors are functional, but it does not confirm correct programming and alarm generation. We recommend testing all sensors under normal arming conditions, especially right after installation.
If you have 24/7 CS monitoring you can place your account on test mode by contacting the monitoring station at any time.
What would the effect be if I removed the pet sensitivity jumper altogether?
Per 2GIG it reverts to the default values listed in the manual, which would be 55 Lbs.
Is the Honeywell or 2gig pir generally more sensitive (on the highest sensitivity settings for each)?
I’ve not done a side-by-side comparison, but overall we notice no appreciable difference.
