  1. Just for info and anyone else who needs this albeit an old panel it looks like the ts900 also can have communal overlaps that will not set unless all wards are set Circuits can be assigned to more than one ward (A,B or C) thus creating overlapping areas.Circuits that are assigned to more than one ward will only be armed when both or all wards are set.
  2. I remember on a galaxy that you can have a group set only if all attached groups are also set So in theory if a group leaves and someone else is still in the building it will not set communal group but the last user to leave and set their group will also set communal and entry as all other groups are set. I did something similar to this before but I will have to refresh myself and test It seems the best solution for automation and knowing that the full building is set when empty Of course this relies on everyone setting their groups but I could pull in a timed set for double security if it needs it.
  3. Now that is a very excellent point and something I had not considered if im completely honest I know I can achieve it but you are quite correct I was trying to avoid people forgetting they had not disarmed and triggering the whole building while people are working. I think I will have to revise this and just put some more keypads on the floors for ease to save going to ground floor everytime Thanks for that one it makes perfect sense
  4. I have some design plans I have never tried before like using an output for a remote led signal to show when an office is set. With the amount of offices and the 24hr access its quite a challenge especially for final set when all other areas are set to do the communal areas so Im quite looking forward to it. Although I am most comfortable with a Galaxy Im always up for a challenge
  5. I must admit its a pretty solid panel but helps it was a half decent install as well. I would stick with it except all the offices in the building are being changed to individual tenants and the "Ward" feature only splits into 3 , 4 with the system but I am going to need about 10 or 12/ I was tempted to update it to an newer panel as there are txnodes installed already not the 900 ones so would be just mainly a panel swap and I think they have enough "Wards" to cover it. I have a nearly full Galaxy setup in stock so might swap out completely as Im more familiar with it and it updates the system to modern standards. I have to update the wiring from standard tampers anyway so may as well update everything I think !!!
  6. Ahhh, I was exiting out the menus and leaving it at the on site message so no one would try and do anything. I thought it was strange that it would keep going into tamper So as long as I stay in a menu it should not acivate Thanks for the quick reply.
  7. Hi All Not been around for a while as a change in direction with working life. I am taking over an old site with a TS900 panel, It will be coming out soon and being replaced with a Galaxy. In the meantime I have a few jobs to do on it. I am in the process of mapping the current layouts and find it really annoying that although I am in engineer mode "Engineer on Site" when I remove the node panels etc the panel goes into full tamper mode. As there are people working in the offices its a bit annoying that all the sounders activate until I run down to a keypad to silence. I know its an old panel but can anyone remember if there is a way to stop this. I would have though while in engineer that all tampers would be ignored. Thanks Matt
  8. ok I ran out quickly while the wife was cooking tea lol,. thats me in the bad books, Good job this is not far away from home, I have a resolution albeit poss a temp one. I went to check on the power issue to see if its connected to this prob, Im almost sure that the smart rios were keeping the system up when i first took it down, I need to check that, To be honest I assumed that it was correct. This is the only job I have encountered smart rios and I thought that it was a good idea that the whole system could be powered from all the backup batteries in them. Will check all the power connections and see where the issue lies on that. Ok back to my original issue. I thought I would see if the dialler actually worked while I was there, If it didnt then it would confirm that the board may need changing. I changed over the pstn from the dialler ,I threw in my mobile number, dodgy account no for a test,and reenbled the line volt check. Then did a engineer test in comms. It dialled my mobile and sat waiting for a handshake, Never got one as my impression of dtmf tones are pretty poor, It redialled and same again as my impression had still not improved. So I know that the dialler works so why the error, Dropped out of engineering mode and guess what, error cleared. How long it lasts is another matter, I can only assume that something has been wanting to dial out, No changes in the settings and no unusual activity in the log so what it was i dont know. I have disabled all triggers for comms so hopefully if this lasts it will never happen again. Home for tea now, Thanks for your help guys, Will poss look at the power issue but that will be billable as its not related to this so I dont think he will want me to. Hopefully if someone is googling an answer similar to this problem it may help them. Matt
  9. Yeti, I dropped each line on my initial tests and came to the conclusion that it must be on board thanks, If I dont disconnect the other psu,s then the panel wont go down, sits on battery backup from the powered rio. I was heading past that way so called in, Wife works next door lol, Powered down completley again, you know you waited long enough when you get configuring on power up., Same result unfortunatley, It reappears on power up and wont budge. Starting to think that the panel might need replacing as they could be an actaual fault, Annoying as the dialler is not even used. Any other ideas ? I cant think of any. I may try and call again tomorrow and leave the panel down for half hour. Cant see it making much difference, The only other thing I could think of was to default the panel and restore it from a backup but I think thats a long shot.
  10. Hi Mate, Thanks for the reply, I should have mentioned that I tried that lol, sorry. The system has a couple of smart rios as well so powering down is a bit of a nightmare. Gotta go around the building powering down the smart rios then the panel. I am not dismissing your idea as it was a logical one. I am going to try it again but this time ac then battery instead of the other way around. I assumed that com 1 was on the board but took each bus line down in turn to test my theory and as you said its onboard i just didnt know what was com1. I did find a post on google that had this error as a tagline and it was to do with sms gateways so I did think dialler at one stage but dismissed it. Thanks again and I will post back with results. Matt
  11. Good afternoon helpfull guys. Ok thats the grovelling part done lol I have a customer with a 520 ver 6.7 that i have serviced for about 3 years, Added to the system a few times for them and never had an issue. About 2 years ago they went from monitored to self monitoring so all line fails are disabled with dialling done on a sd1. A few days ago they rang with this error code line failcom 1 after hitting enter it goes to alert - line fail 1 I went out and went through all programming to ensure line fails are disabled and they are. Com 1 im assuming is rs232 and not being used as they have an ethernet board that i use for rss, I checked com1 by rss into the port and all is good with that. So i thought line 1 may be bus-1 but there is only a mk7 keyprox on that and all is good there. Been through the building (all four floors) and checked all the rios and all seems fine. All zones are working fine so cant see it being an issue on any of the bus lines. 3 being used at present. I cant find any ref to this fault and have never encountered it before.The logical thought of a fail on a comms line is still in the back of my mind but cant find it or disable it as its not needed. If anybody has come across this before I would appreciate a heads up as to the cause, Nothing has been done to the system in months and no sign of any tamper anywhere but the fault will just not clear. Thanks, Matt
