Visonic Powermax express
sixwheeledbeast replied to ChrisSlivi's topic in General Security & Fire Queries
Need to check the logs not much point guessing. They could jam each other but are enrolled to the panel so wouldn't arm each other. -
The better quality ones anyway. Wouldn't fit sensors without sealed optics, unless I had no option like wireless for example.
-
Green and Black wires are wrong way round in the sensor if you look very closely. It will be one beep for zone 1 active.
-
Some sort of bell delay or maybe it's set to internals only on part set.
-
Wiring looks fine from what I can tell. How many times is the system beeping? Likely to be a tamper issue I agree. Or maybe a blown fuse would make sense if the PIR is active all the time.
-
Unless there is a bell delay set up something isn't right. Could be a number of things so needs diagnosing.
-
Could possibly be a faulty sensor. Have you tested anything or used your multimeter yet?

Gardtec 800 having problems
sixwheeledbeast replied to Steve Jones's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
Is the other keypad active when the main door one shows busy? Just silence with the user code when you remove the PIR, then reset when complete. -
Code Omit 2 Set Reminds me how annoying iconic buttons are for giving help on the phone. I understand why manufacturers do it but most users have no idea what the icons are suppose to mean.

No room in the Poly case for a full fat Premier at that time. Export panel where digi and outputs were more important than bell terminals.

Yes it will be fine, you will need to replace the backplate tho.

can anyone recommend a wired alarm system?
sixwheeledbeast replied to itsamomentintime_'s topic in Members Lounge (Public)
Is your existing system faulty or is the coverage not adequate? Are you looking for someone to install a system or DIY? -
You have to be careful which exact panel you have, R8/Plus or Excel is not compatible with the standard LCD Premier keypad. A 412/418 I believe should be compatible, but they are not a common panel in the UK. The plastic casing is actually over the top of the silicone buttons on your new keypad, must be a pretty old keypad if it is silicone buttons only. Keypads have a data connection they do not store data, LCD, LCDL LCDP LCDLP are interchangeable but have different features, prox, large screen, both etc.

So using your variable bench supply you could find out what the exact voltage is that triggers the low supply warning.

Powermax - mostly one way Powermaster - mostly two way No idea about Honeywell, Texecom is mesh
-
Cheap system with one way devices.
-
Operating instructions should have recommanded voltage in the specification.

Assuming Galaxy would it not have custom firmware? I am sure they would come out for a non-contract fee and default codes for you...
-
Well yes 12.0Vdc is a little low. I would be looking for 13.60Vdc on the Aux at the panel. Most kit has a little tolerance for voltage below and above ideal operation voltages say around 11-14Vdc.

Nah, sooner use Visonic over Pyronix, like for like. Wouldn't fit either tho. Without another one you are not going to know if it's intended behaviour or not. I am assuming from your posts it works fine but has an undocumented flashing light?

Is the flashing light just indicating it's in stand-alone mode and the device operates fine even with the flashing light?

Texecom w64 wireless alarm

You can't have a stable mesh network without each device establishing itself with each other. -

I like a challenge... MDT Avanti LED. -
With you saying boss codes, this sounds like an 8 Plus or Excel and not just an Veritas 8? If you want to check the codes you can enter them and see if they work, you are likely to only have 4 attempts before a local tamper alarm will occur. Bear in mind if you are poking about in engineers menu and not sure what you're doing you may change the system programming causing more issues. I also believe it's most likely to be the service timer and as the system has been powered down the time and date is likely to be wrong. I would default and reprogram from scratch myself.
