So the issue is it false trips no matter what now unless you defeat it? And it worked before? You did reboot the controller after making changes correct?

If yes to all 3 I am at a loss and would say we will need to RMA the Classic and get her back to check out. I am not aware of this being any bug in the code so it would appear it applies directly to this Classic.

Is LED MODE set to Mode 1  ?    Also, when you power up the Classic and the LEDs flash for a few seconds, does the
green LED on the remote (MNGP) flash too ?   If the LED flash test on power up lights up, then it is probably that
the LED MODE is in Rick Mode or Off or something like that.

If you did the VMM or Factory Restore LED mode will get set to Rick mode and the green LED will not display. Go into the Main menu, Scroll to Misc and hit Enter. Now look for LED-Mode and hit enter. Set this for LED1 and hit Enter.
