Would the activation terminals be on the Trig terminals to left side of the panel under the aux supplies?? Thanks for your help... No, it would go to a spare zone and need programming appropriately.

neonred Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hi, thanks for your help. I hav'nt looked closely at the wiring from the reader but I would guess it will have a 12V supply it goes across Zone 1 and will also have a switch line going back to the panel to activate it. If it's working as a simple switch the only programming would be learning and accepting the key fobs . I would like to understand how it activates the panel and also does it use the zone as a kind of tamper ?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 it activates the panel as the circuit its connected too will be programmed as keyswitch Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

norman Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 It requires a simple volt free contact, the reader is powered but the output to the panel is volt free. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonred Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So zone 1 is programmed as a key switch and activates closed circuit or open circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If that's where the existing reader is connected to then yes. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonred Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I recently added another pir to the panel on zone 8. Although the test function acknowledges the pir works it isn't activating the alarm. It wasn't previously used and originally had a resistor across it which I have removed. I have changed over zones 7,8 and to test the pir and wired into zone 7 it works fine and activates the alarm. but zone 8 is still not activating the alarm. Any idea what the cause may be.

norman Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I'd suggest zone 8 is programmed as spare. How did you test it? Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonred Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So I would need to re-program the panel but I don't have an engineers's code for it. The panel was fitted by ADT. It was here when we moved in. Any way round this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
