If you arm the system with a door/window open and it has a magnet attached the system will arm. Once the door/window is closed and then opened, it will trigger the alarm system. 

This is a fairly common question, 75% of the time this is because the PIR has not been left for 3 minutes before triggering it (a PIR will enter sleep mode for 3 minutes once it has been triggered by walking past it).

In majority of cases if the lights on the ERA siren's start to flash continuously (once every three seconds) then this means the battery in the siren needs replacing.

If set to on, the siren may be when the alarm is armed or disarmed. If only the siren is flashing and a control panel is present then check to see if jamming detection is enabled.

Ideally it makes sense to just pair a remote to the siren initially and then to use the remote to learn other sensors to the siren.
