secureiam Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 to be fair the first time I had a jamming fault was after I let a low battery go all the way to jamming fault. walked in and set my hard wired devices off, but wanted to see what happened and I still had protection. But the low battery was logged for a long time before it got to the jammed state. as for timings never had a 7 minute wait either, after setting everything up complete the commissioning of the mesh using ricochet monitor to monitor the status, when its 100% complete, then do my walk test, always wary that those near foot traffic may have been activated and sleeping. as for modes I always leave in the default mode they were learned on as that's what was recommended seem to recall years ago putting a quad in hybrid mode threw a wobbler I am guessing that's been addressed a long time ago now. Change batteries every 2 years seems to work fine. always awake permanently on auto sleeps for 3 mins after being activated hybrid I believe is on when the system is armed and if you get the rotating line it represents the devices being started up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put an auto PIR on with chime and see the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secureiam Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) well if I get bored tonight I can walk round the house and try it but in the middle of decorating, but getting a plumber in for the new radiator.

9651 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Question so when these ricochet devices go flat, why are they jamming? I believe that was my issue and I see it mentioned above a simple point tamper would suffice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simlec Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I can only assume with a low battery the communications between devices goes a bit hit or miss like when you have poor signal on your radio, and the panel/receiver see this a jamming.

9651 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Must be to do with the mesh then, as a galaxy will just report the device as an rf fail when flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be reporting '+RF BAT Low' before the fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isecurity Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Update from TS QD and XT sensor should only be used in Auto and NOT Hybrid, Misprint in only Ricochet manual that says otherwise. Hence why they default to Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isecurity Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 RE Jamming Response from TS "Radio jamming is generally site specific. Points to look for are other wireless equipment, old wireless equipment from an older system, unused Ricochet devices with the batteries still connected, smart keys, contacts etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
