Hi all I have an existing wireless alarm system. It has 2 partitions.
Partition 1 is inside the house and partition 2 is outside.
The keypad is a Paradox Evo 48\192
I would like to add a Paradox PMD85 to the existing partition 2 (which has 4 other external wireless passives already assigned).
I have determined that I am occupying 15 zones (indoor and outdoor passives, and door contacts), so the new PMD will be zone 16.

What I have done so far: entered program mode using installer code, then 0400, section 016, set keypad serial (it was already there), set parameters to 42, *2*4**** (copied from other already connected PMD85s)

I now need to add the new serial number but cannot for the life of me figure out where to do it.

Hehehehehe need to add the serial number to the RTX3 receiver :)

Pop me a DM
 
Thank you to @00Mfaan Problem sorted. Amazing how easy it is when you have someone who knows what they're doing🤣
 
If anyone else in future needs help, these are the steps:
Determine what zone the new sensor will occupy. In my case it was the next sequential number after all the other sensors. (You can determine what they are by entering each zone, below, and checking if it's occupied) I knew I had around 15 sensors, so I first entered 015, and saw that it had a label etc. 016 was the next blank one.
Enter installer mode, section 0400, then the new zone. Press enter (don't change the serial, it's been set before)
Set parameters (I just copied the ones from existing sensors) My report codes are all 00, then set the label.
Go back to base menu, section 4003.
Enter the serial you saw before in the new Zone (or open up your RTX3, or check the sticker if you have it)
Enter the new zone preceded by a 1 (eg zone 17 will be 117)
Enter the new sensor's serial number (or open the sensor, it picks it up automatically if it has power)

Above is on an Evo48 with single RTX3 transceiver and Evo LCD input panel.
Probably will change if config is different.
