Texecom Premier Elite - tamper alarm only when door contact is closed
ywu replied to ywu's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
I think that's resolved it. I've got an airgap of about an inch between sensor and magnet and it's enough for the alarm to say it's "secure" that the door is "closed". -
Texecom Premier Elite - tamper alarm only when door contact is closed
ywu replied to ywu's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
There was a gap of around 0.75 cm between the sensor and the magnet before. Maybe i'm putting them too close together and they need that air gap? I've now tried multiple orientations and it still triggers. -
I doubt if your messing with it yourself grade 3 equipment is required. But a grade 3 device is a high security one designed to detect if someone is trying to defeat it with a rouge magnet or one in the wrong location. There will be arrown on the case indicating where they need to line up and it wont have anything like the same tolerance of a grade 2 contact. Id also tidy up your wires there is too much exposed

Texecom Premier Elite - tamper alarm only when door contact is closed
ywu replied to ywu's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
Is there an issue with it being Grade 3? I have tested it on two sides of the sensor but it's the same issue. Perhaps it matters what the poles of the magnets are used? I haven't tried that yet. -
In preparation for my renovation, I detached the garage door contact sensor and the magnet, which as expected, caused a tamper alarm. The sensor has been put back together and my hope was, I'd bind the two together until the work is done in that area but what I'm finding is the control panel shows a tamper alert when the magnet is brought into proximity with the sensor. No fault is there when they are separated. What might be the issue? Here's what the sensor looks like inside.

Thank you at last the first person on this site to actually know what I'm experiencing, this is exactly what I have researched over the last week! though I'm not sure dipping the 12V for 50ms is the best practice ? If this is by design I will see the same results on the new panel At least someone is in tune with the performance I am seeing on the elite 88 panel thank you
-
You need ? they all do a battery test, forget it man just install it and move on with life lol
-
Not at all ! I do struggle a little when your making accusations that are clearly not true? I do not assume anything, everything in my working life is a process of elimination when problem solving, I have eliminated everything with this alarm panel and the problem in hand and shipped it back to the supplier I have be appreciative of peoples feedback, but do no appreciate rude people or arrogance, I'm an embedded engineer and apply logic and common sense, I have listened and performed every test suggested along with many of my own and come to the conclusion the panel is generating the dip in the 12V every 30 seconds I am now at the stage that I would like to compare a brand new panel and see if I get the same results Once again thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to give their input and feedback without being rude ?
-
No I did not buy from ebay ? I have shipped original panel back to company and got a full refund I have spoken to another company they say they get there stock from Texecom every three weeks I have now purchased from them a new panel (Premier elite 88) with latest firmware Lets wait and see if this panel performs any different

Not wishing to get into the debate but 'Proper' gear needs to comply with the product standard (not the install) and part of that is testing the battery OK Most if not all panel will dip the supply and measure the voltage as a means to do this check. ie also all the 12v peripherals should be able (if compliant) to handle this ripple voltage. I dont know texecom gear well or at all and not sure if the network errors are a log tool or just log 'noise'. Either way it shouldnt cause a problem in normal operation. If it is causing a problem (other than a disganostic log) then something is wrong.

Texecom Elite 88 Expander Errors
sixwheeledbeast replied to JOHNNYH's topic in Control Panels (Public)
For someone with all the kit and knowledge you seem to assume a lot, instead of diagnosing it. We may as well speak into the void at this point. Your repeating the same thing and clearly not reading or taking in what people are saying, your the one with the issue and looking for help... -
So all this means when you get a new alarm panel and you say it will be the same as the last one , you will be in the same boat ? Problem unresolved? You bought from eBay ?
-
your not listening, please take time to read and analyse before posting. the switch mode power supply is 100% stable, 13.6V rock solid !!, there is no switching noise, it would be a **** psu if there was lol, the network 12V every 30seconds produced a dip for 50ms as it switches to battery test mode, more than likely done by a FET by design !! Try doing some research you may find your elite panel is doing the same lol, though you would never know with your multi meter ? as I keep saying everting is working, 100% please stop saying my kit is not working, as it’s starting to sound infantile it’s very common knowledge from Texecom these elite panels operate in this way very surprised your not aware for having so many years with Texecom alarms systems ????
-
As I understand it a a switch mode power supply switches on & off this is what I assume you are seeing on a scope ? Texecom has been around nearly 40 yr & turn over nearly 40 million, My stuff works, yours system despite your test equipment & qualifications doesn't ?

Sorry I disagree … i have a OND, HND and degree in electronics i design advanced pcbs in Altium every day of my life designing embedded electronics with ARM F4 and F7 STM 32 processors. I program in embedded C utilising all the STM32 peripherals I2C, SPI, CAN, UART i use segger debuggers , Salae logic analysers, Fluke multimeters, keysight scopes i can assure you I know the basics principles and lot more aside lol yes every day I am more amazed at what a funny world it is ??? the alarm panel does not have lots of issues for the record, it simply dips the power at exact time periods of 50ms twice within a minute, not that you would be able to detect this with your multi meter ! I would also go as far to say the next elite 88 panel I purchase this week will be no different and act in exactly the same way not sure if you read the last text ? But even with 1 keypad and 1 alarm panel on less than a meter of cable, I get same results!!! it’s very clear from the scope that the alarm panel is being instructed to kill the 12v for 50ms and switch over to the 12v battery supply as part of the battery test, not that you multi meter would show this if you care to do the R&D you will find out about the elite panels all do this act as part of the battery test. not once has anyone mentioned this, Yes it is a funny world of funny people
