Menvier M800

Hi

Replaced my mum's TS690 with an M800.

2 LCD panels 1 bell box

1 door switch on the LCD at the back door

3 PIRs on zone 0001 using resistors (amazingly I got it to work)

3 PIRs on zone 0002-0004 using tamper circuits

All up and running and working, except...

I can't quite figure out how to program the entry point so that it gives you 15 seconds grace to plug in the code. At the moment the alarm goes of immediately.

The door switch is on the LCD panel zone 1011 - should that be a separate ward and group for entry? The manual isn't terribly clear.

At the mo its all on one ward and one group. All the zones are set up to be normal alarm except the door switch which I tried on Entry and also Final Exit. Didn't seem to make any difference.

A little pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Gizz.

A quick wander down memory lane....

so in june your mother's alarm blew up, the insurance where meant to be coughing up for a new one, now its october & she still does not have a system that works yet?

Its complicated. The insurance coughed, She used the money for something else, I fitted a new alarm unit and panel last week when she asked me to. Don't have a go at me, i just do wot i'm told. I took on board what you guys said in June and reminded her about the insurance, guarantee & maintenance issues etc but she was determined to go the DIY route. She's my mum, I'm not happy but I can't exactly say no, can I?

So, instead of having a go, how about a bit of help? Oh, yeah, sorry, I'm a DIYer, I know everything so i can do it myself.... kthx :)

If the 3 PIRs on one zone is wrong (why?) then considering the TS690 had all 6 PIRs on one zone (from the professional installer), again don't be so sure you know it all.

you wanna take that statment back ?

As it happened they used iD chips

cause it turns out they wernt all on the same zone - were they?

so I think it would work - but I don't know how to program iD chips (I bow to your infinite wisdom) so I got it working with resistors instead. No its probably not right but considering the low crime area, the absolute lack of anything worth stealing, and the brand new high security windows (that remain locked) in that end of the house its not like the tamper circuit will be got at, even if they could break into that end of the house and then magically dig the cable out from under the oak floor.

nowt to do with any of the above ( though they are also good valid reasons ) tell me which one goes off when the alarm sounds?

Anyway, if anyone out there knows how to program this M800 thing, I'll bung them

Nope. So, b0llocks to you, mate. I'll get it working, I mean, how hard can it be? Alarm installation engineers do it all the time.

LOL - good luck ( I am very sure of myself thanks )

Thats right mate, you get the system up and running and look forward to false alarms in the next few years. Why not get an engineer in to programme the system....is it ID or is it not!!!! In the long run it is money well spent
