    I'm not sure what you mean by not clearing...if you click on the bell it provides you with the last set of alarms (i.e. the number displayed), viewing them will clear this down.

     

    Not on mine it doesn't, Click on the yellow bell and it greys out showing the events in a dropdown, Once you exit it the bell symbol is yellow again.. It just wont clear

     

    These are screenshots showing exactly that, Bell is yellow, Click bell for events, Bell clears, Bell goes back yellow with same events

  2. Hi Jim

     

    The problem I'm seeing is that new events are not clearing, It's still highlighting events that have been viewed as new. The  actual events list display is bang on and extremely easy for anyone to understand and follow, it's got smaller coloured icon indications to the left and well informative text description of the event.

     

    My absolute single dislike is the default dashboard view with the huge icons that in my view is pointless. 

     

    As you can see, the detailed view is perfect, but dashboard view just clutters everything. Clicking on any of the tabs just comes back with clutter that's not the easiest to follow and doesn't clear new notification events on the yellow coloured bell symbol..

  3. How many of you are you guys are actually offering CONXTD to your end users.

     

    I've tried it a few times, I actually hate it, It really pains me to say that I think the interface is far from user friendly

    In my view it needs a lot of work to make it more informative and less of the in your face symbols and colours that clutter the interface.. Its a shame really,

     

    On the plus side, Its bang on at sending all the notifications out and the price is spot on, I did speak to Callum about this a couple of months ago,

    He said it had improved a lot, It just shows cluttered on my iPhone, Not tried it on Android.  Unfortunately I cant see me using this

  4. It's probably the original battery that's baking your power supply making it really hot. There may well be a voltage in the battery but chances are it's holding little to no Ah capacity. If it's that old it's probably broken or breaking down and pulling the life out of the power supply, hungry for the charge... but can't as it's goosed.

    Funny you should say that, the transformer in ours was burning hot! I was shocked, it was really hot! I must be mad, 

     

    Surely there is your indication there is a potential problem. You must be mad if you ignore this... Rip it out and bin it

  6. I hate Paragons, Some of our old customers love them to bits.  You're mad if you think its a good panel

    Still got about 70 of these on service, Mixture of Plus and Super 2, Also got 6 of the tiny Conqueror panels and a handful of Sterling 10

    As for saying its working fine, I will almost guarantee the power supply has gone high on it, battery will be charging at around 14v or more

     due to mesh commissioning, don't enrol until you're on site with devices!

     

    I'm curious why you think it's a problem.

    Every ricochet system I've ever installed is programmed, all devices learned and tested up to 72 hoursI generally on a plug top and a 7ah whilst under test.

     

    I've never defaulted a system once all learned, it's pointless waste of time.

    I always leave batteries in everything during transit to site, even the Panel battery.

    As long as you follow the correct procedure on site with lids off everything and give time for a secure stable mesh to build, verify mesh integrity on ricochet monitor you're all good. That's the beauty of this kit as you know, It will always adapt to the environment and create its own best route back to the Panel.

     

    Not sure on what everyone else's own procedures are... 

    But there's no way I would turn up to a full ricochet install with nothing pre programmed and function tested in advance. 

     

    Be be interested in others thoughts on this. 

  8. Getting the geometry correct is vital to the install.

    Cardboard is the key for making a template up on site,

     

    Make a template of the A,B,C points, Post and hinge points

    From this you can pencil everything to give you any custom bracket requirements.

    Back to the workshop for a few hours to get them made up and colour coded.

     

    I personally do all our gate geometry measurements and templates this way

    We used to have a good mobile fabricator, but he retired. Now I do all our own

     

    Skilled and competent designers and installers are hard to find these days

  9. There are a couple of forums for gate automation,

    These are via online distributors and cater for end user and engineer.

     

    This is disturbing in itself as they openly advise end users how to install repair their own systems. 

     

    Ive yet to find a dedicated one for installers,

    Although gates & barriers are discussed here quite often.

     

  10.  

    Another way of tackling the issue,

    Premier Elite, Wintex, WebWay Nano (UDL Only). 

     

    Although Com-IP is a great product, The downside is that its reliant on local internet connection at the premises.

    A Webway Nano unit will cost you about the same as a COM-IP, But requires no local internet connection or networking skills

     

    With Com-IP, If your customer doesn't pay their broadband bill and gets cut off, or a phone line damage occurs, You wont access the panel

    As WebWay uses 3G/GPRS for the remote connection to the panel, It requires no third party phone line or internet provider, You will always access the panel 

    Annual renewals for using WebWay UDL service are literally pennies per year, Built into your service plan makes it a no brainer.

    PSE - I've followed your instruction to identify attribute for Zone 3.

    Led 1. was illuminated.

    According to your key, this is security

    Discovered the problematic zone was programmed as 'Key Switch'

    now its disabled from this function it is behaving normally again.

     

    Im assuming you didn't check this then ?

  12. Try this,  You will need your engineer code

     

    PROG. (Eng Code) 5 3 

    Look at the led that's lit up

     

    These are your zone 3 Attribute options

     

    1 - Security

    2 - Fire

    3 - 24 Hour Fire

    4 - Push to Set

    5 - Keyswitch

     

    Check what yours is, maybe set to 3 or 4 by accident, hence always activating.

     

    Change the option as above, hear a beep as confirmation and reset all way back out.

    You shouldn't have two batteries on Texecom controls any more only the PSU's. Splitting battery output without separate monitoring doesn't conform

    Texe have a battery splitter but only works on pre-Elite.

     

    Yes, that's the compliant way to do it.

    With you already mentioning a separate PSU, That's why I said go for 2x 10Ah.

     

    The 10Ah's are what we majority use in Elite's & PSU200XP Expanders. 

    Not had a duff one yet, You will also need bigger crimps on battery leads.
