Morning all, Just a quick update. Ive managed to get the odyssey x-be wired to the powermax panel. The tamper works perfectly and the panel picks up the trouble so happy days. Thanks for all the feed back and support. much appriciated.

Thank you @goncall, Will give this a try tomorrow and keep everyone updated.

@petrolhead I have installed hundreds or powermax complete systems but never come across someone wanting a different style bell hence why I want to trial this before considering this any further. Also, its not a paid job as I have not agreed to anything yet but I was keen to understand how it would work out.

@al-yeti Yes i programmed Zone 30 to 24h Audible..

Hi All, I did read many post on the forum before starting this one so please excuse me im im repeating someone else question. Im in the middle of trialing a Texecom Odyssey bell box (X-BE) with a visonic powermax complete. I have connected the expander module and that works fine as I also tested a voice box. Now, when it comes to this siren im getting a strange tamper issue. When I open the lid to to release the tamper on the siren the powermax complete panel shows no trouble lights but still says Not ready to arm (z30 open) however I have the siren ringing (because the tamper is open). Weirdly when I close the tamper on the siren the trouble light flicks on and says Z30 is open. I have connected it just as Visonic have said and also enrolled Zone 30 as 24h Audible. connections on Siren to expander A: 12V+ >>>> SRN+ B: Bell >>>> EXT C: Tamp >>>> Z30 D: 0V >>>> GND S: STRB >>>> IN- I have also linked the Tamp with a 2.2K resistor to 0V in the siren aswell use an addition 2.2K resistor inline with z30 on the expander. Could someone tell me if im doing anything wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you guys. I was thinking of purchasing the Texecom premier elite 24 with a few PIRs, door contacts and maybe a panic button to have a play around. Programming wise i think i will be fine however wiring side may drive me mad as I can see my self getting confused on EOL/double pole wiring as well as series and parallel. ( i think im already confused) From what ive read EOL wiring is better and safer, is ther any guides out there or any wiring for dummies guides i can get my hands on and trial and error.

Hello guys!! Ive been meaning to get myself on here for some time now and finally had a bit of free time to do so! First things first - What a GREAT Forum, with out a doubt its helped me out many of times! This is my first post so excuse any "dumbness" Let me cut to the chase, I have been running a security installation company for 4/5 years. So far no issues, but Alarm wise we have only been sticking to the Visonic powermax kits and would like to branch out to Wired as it seems like we are turning away work, Now now, l'd like to know - Is it worth attending a course to learn the ins and outs of wired systems...? if so could you recommend one? Look fowarding to your replies folks! Have a good evening! KR Prits
