    As i said the time is between 3-15min before the detector becomes active again in auto mode.

    When I tested, i was getting average 7min.

    Do you know why are PIRs set to auto by default? Now reading this I can't see any reason to ever have anything on Auto. 

     

    On hybrid, does the panel arm the device as soon as the system is set? With no down time while set?

     

    I assume on auto, once it's had its down time it's armed, ready for instant trigger?

  2. I've RTFM..... that's why I'm here.

    1 - Use Pulse Period 1

    When activated, the output will remain on for the duration of the

    ‘Pulse Period 1’ timer (see page 63 for details).

    2 - Use Pulse Period 2

    When activated, the output will remain on for the duration of the

    ‘Pulse Period 2’ timer (see page 63 for details).

    3 - Use Pulse Period 3

    When activated, the output will remain on for the duration of the

    ‘Pulse Period 3’ timer (see page 63 for details).

    As above, pulse is a hold on timer, then stays restored

  3. Comwifi is not reliable enough to have it monitored for drop outs.

    Go monitor hardware and turn off ATS faults.

    Or like above, turn off notifications, get a gsm com on com port 2 with virgin sim unlimited texts £5 a month. You'll still get a notification if power goes out/your router drops out.

    You'll probably find Sms commands to be enough for your remote control needs too. Just a suggestion :-)

  4. Bruce did you get 2400 to text out?

    If not

    On keypad,

    All in UDL/digi options:

    Comport setup- com2400 should be selected on the port or onboard.

    Setup modules- set pri sms centre to 07785499993.

    Make sure if you need a 9 prefix to dial out on your landline phone, it goes in front of SMS centre number.

    Digi options- ensure You have E and A on.

    Program digi- arc1- sms messaging- primary is your first mobile number- reporting options make sure at least Test calls is on( C )

    Now go to make test call- press zero- display should eventually show SMS sent.

    If that doesn't work Make sure you have 50v on com2400 and you can dial out.

    You might want to use different SMS centre but that's what I use. I think it's Vodafone.m

    Hope this helps.

    Like the others said, comip/wifi is much better, or even gsm com

  5. I like Ricochet but we've had a few bumps along the way, worse one being, we updated an old wireless job, so detectors went in the same corners to save client decorating.
    Every single PIR that had a window in view has false alarmed since the install and we had to replace every QD for a DT. Fair enough if you put a PIR looking towards a conservatory, you're going to get problems, but the wireless QDs seem to false alarm really easily in every room with a window. You don't get that issue with wired texecom PIRs

     

    Another biggy was, the QDs would walk test absolutely fine. Great, then if you set with the customer code and nothing would trigger. It wasn't the 3 min sleep timer.
    Tech support said it was a bug and to make sure QDs are set to 'always awake'. We were expecting the batteries to get rinsed in no time but ended up swapping for DTs like I said above^

     

    Completely our fault the other day though as it's in the manual, but if you don't have that lid off the receiver you'll get some devices working, and some not.

    You'll only find out once you've packed your tools up and you've fully programmed it up. It will be late in the day too as you've had to program it for a second time because you've already had to change the brand new PCB earlier in the day as mains fail might not clear. That's a faulty PCB tech will tell you :-)

    Otherwise I wouldn't fault it....  :signthankspin:

  6. I'm thinking of using this for my own place really.

    I can use IFTTT to make an iphone push notification when an email is sent, (and blue strobe philips hue lamps but that may be a bit too qwerky!)

    never used montex either unfortunately, I would need a server/PC running all the time for an email to be sent?

    Starting to wonder if gsm module would be better option, but that'd mean paying for a static IP sim card when I'll be paying for 152mb broadband already!

    2400 sms seems expensive over landline, especially when some one leaves M-Maintenance on while servicing.... Lol
