[Galaxy 48 Rio, zones not working]

Dude start again 

 

Zone 1&2 resistor legs touching 

 

Make all zones unused the ones you don't need 

 

But before that remove the Rio power it off  , restart panel , reconnect Rio , add Rio

 

 

 

 

Ok will try that. I think starting afresh is a good idea.
I did originally have the unused zones locked out via option  18 “Spare”. The manual does state that it is recommended that a 1k resistor is connected across the zones, is this so on a Rio? 

All though it does look like the zone 1-2 legs are touching they are not, it’s just the angle the photo was taken at. Once I have got it working I intend to tidy everything up.
 

Thanks

Whats the panel you are using, RIO is addressed as 3 so the circuits would start at 1031

 

The wiring looks like its going to ciruit 1 and 2 on the rio but the leg of circuit 1 looks like there isnt anything in it on the picture.

 

In your first post you mention zones 6.7.8 but the EOL resistors are in 6,7,8 and where are you getting the power for the PIR from?

 

I have just realised that I have uploaded the wrong photo, the correct one is now attached (Joys of posting in the early hours while waiting for meds to kick in).
 

The Rio is set to 5 and not 3 as previously stated.

 

Zone 6 is not connected yet in the photo. The zones are 1051 to 1058

 

i have reconnected link 4 and still the same.

 

The panel is a Galaxy 48.

 

Thanks

Before anything remake link 4

Link 4 remade and still the same

The 1k restistors should be in the devices not at the rio

Sorry, not worded very clearly.

The resistors are at the 2 contacts and the PIR, only the unused zones have them at the Rio

Lol I wondered why he was doing that 

By the sound of it I am doing it in error. I followed another post I found online. I have only cut one side so I can easily reattach it it.

Hopefully you lot can tell me the correct way to do it.

There are only 1k resistors in the unused zone terminals, plus 2x1k on the other 3 zones

 

Thanks, Keith

Hi all, following a few garage break-ins on our estate lately, I decided to change to a Rio from a single zone so I can add a PIR.

 

Everything went ok, the system detects the Rio, Rio set to slave via link 4, but I can only get one zone to work.All are set to intruder.

 

zone 8 Roller shutter contact - works normally

zone 7, PIR -  Nothing

zone 6, Door contact, Nothing

 

I did have the Door Contact working on zone 2 at one time when I tested it before installing. It is set to address 3
 

I have searched online for guides on installing nd programming, but can find very little. Photo is from when I tested it.

 

Thanks for reading, Keith

 

[Roller shutter contact, do I use tamper wires ?]

All done now, works perfectly 

 

Thank you to all those that replied, I’m most grateful

If it’s just ordinary bt cable with no protection, it will work (for a while) 

I redid it properly, with the correct cable and in conduit this time. 
The funny thing is that I didn’t even know I had any phone cable.

sorted....

 

[Roller shutter contact, do I use tamper wires ?]

Thanks for all the help, but I don’t think even you lot could solve this !!! 

I had this great idea to bury the cable going to the garage while I was doing the footing for a patio. Buried it under 6 inches of hardcore and concrete, then paved the whole thing.

Just gone to connect the wires and found out I have used phone cable by mistake, knew I should have use conduit

So you need the tamper proof box and the grommet should fit on it aswell and do as Mr H says or he send the boys round 

Yes sir ;-)

[Roller shutter contact, do I use tamper wires ?]

Thank you MrHappy, thats how I thought

 

Just so I have this right in my head.

If I only used the white wires and someone cut the metal cable, it would cause a open circuit.

Using the red as well, it will cause a tamper ?

[Roller shutter contact, do I use tamper wires ?]

I want to add this contact to my garage door but I am not 100% sure about the wiring

It has,

2 white wires - reed switch

2 red wires - tamper

I know how to wire the white wires via EOL, but do I need to use the tamper wires as well, or is it not necessary ?

I was thinking

1k across the white wires

Zone common in to white wire

other white wire to red

other red to zone return with 1k

 

Thanks for reading, hope it makes sense 

 

[Galaxy 48 strobe not staying on]

Ok, thanks for the replies.

I will just keep omitting the zone to keep it simple. 
 

I did lie about no more questions though !

 

On my siren there is a link for “ENG” which I assume is to hold off the siren when servicing it. Is that a + or - feed, or should it be connected somewhere else on the main board, such as RIO 1003 and programmed, hope that makes sense ?

 

Thanks, Keith

[Galaxy 48 strobe not staying on]

Ok, thank you 

That make perfect sense, and also explains why I couldn’t find how to do it.

One last question, I currently have it set up for full and part set, is there a easy way of adding “Night set” as well. I have a dog which when he is left alone indoors I part set, but at night I need to turn off 1 pir (Conservatory) so we can walk around when it is set, I currently have to omit it every time.

 

Thanks again, Keith

I have installed and programmed a Galaxy 48 which I got free from a  building being demolished at work. I have installed and programmed it without too much trouble, and it works ok apart from the strobe light. I am using the ADT alarm box (Yellow hexagon) which came with the alarm originally.

 

When the alarm activates the strobe and the siren go off correctly, but when the siren stops, so does the strobe, rather than continuing to flash. 

The bell is on 1001 and the strobe is 1002. Both are latched, set to positive

 

I have attached pics of the wiring both ends (Blue wire isn’t connected at the panel end, as it’s temporarily wired indoors at moment).

I have searched online and the manuals but cannot find out if it’s me, or the box ?
 

Thanks in advance for any replies. I have found this site a great help to get this far.
