  1. Hello, I have recently moved into a house and noticed that I have one permanently lit green LED on the external bell box. Neighbors systems seem to have 2 leds which alternate. Any idea what causes this? The alarm is a Veritas 8 with telecom bell boxes. Is that enough to go on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  2. Hi All, i recently purchased my first first house and the burglar alarm is not working. It’s a Veritas 8c control panel with 7 PIR motion sensors and a few door contacts and an outside alarm and light box. Something on the panel seems to have blown, there are black burn marks on the inside of the casing. Now my dilemma is to just buy a replacement panel (same model) and wire that in and let it be.. or upgrade the panel and eventually upgrade the sensors over time. if I was to upgrade, I would like something fairly modern, maybe that I can control from my phone or receive notifications on when it goes off. Home automation would be a bonus as I also have a nest heating system and amazon echo device. i just really don’t know which to get. There seems to be a lot of options. Some I’ve never heard of, some are very expensive and some need a large panel for all the wiring and then a separate keypad. currently all of the wires to my existing system come directly into the Veritas panel near the front door, I don’t think it would look very good to have a big plastic panel there and a keypad next to it. is anyone aware of a decent smart alarm panel that can be used with my existing wired system that they would recommend? thank you for your help
  3. i think ive misunderstood the part set function of my veritas alarm panel (excel , lcd keypad ) my question is if i set zone one of suite one to E/E does this mean the that zone one of the other three suites will be E/E as well or can the zones of the other three be a different program type ? example suite 1 zone 1 E/E suite 2 zone 1 Guard suite 3 zone 1 inhibited suite 4 zone 1 back to E/E ps this is only an example many thanks any help is great
  4. Hi folks, Hopefully a simple one, I've installed a few of these Veritas R8, in this install I've added a remote arm/disarm (RF fob) to it by using a zone as a keyswitch, which works great. The user however wants to see/know when the alarm is armed/disarmed (They were hoping for a car alarm like chirp, etc). The strobe does flash to show when the entry/exit timer expires and the alarm arms but they can't see this very clearly. I'm trying to come up with a simple visual solution to show them when the alarm is armed/disarmed. Initially I've looked at the SW+ output, as setting this to option 8 "Entry/Exit" I'm guessing this will indicate entry/exit timer running (So by wiring a simple relay using AUX+ and the sink/negative to the SW+ in theory the relay will trigger during entry/exit and stop afterwards), which might produce what I want. Does anyone have any comment on doing the above? Or is there a better output/signal I can use for 'armed/disarmed' state that i could connect up externally (Something like an LED is what I'm thinking, hide an LED on/below the bellbox so it's a visual indicator to them). Thanks in advance. Andy
  5. The "Full Reset" button on my Veritas 8 keypad has now stopped working. I enter my user code and press the button but nothing happens. The "Reset" button works fine and I get all the usual beeps and lights as I go through the arming process, but at the final step...Nothing! I replaced the battery in the control panel, but this didn't cure the problem. Can anybody help on this. This Texecom/Veritas system is about ten years old.
  6. Hi all, I'm very new to working on intruder alarms, this being my 3rd. I modified an existing Veritas 8 system by adding a PIR and a door contact. The alarm when in walk test mode is making two very short chirps at intervals of about 2 seconds. This isn't the normal chirps it makes when the Zone two device activates in walk test mode, but much shorter chirps. There are no lit tampers, and no lit faults. When it is chirping for zone activations, the shorter chirps are absent. Is the panel just reminding me it's in walk test mode, or is there some other unspecified (in the manual) problem I should be investigating. I'd be grateful for your assistance.
  7. Hi guys, Has anyone got any advise regarding the Texecom wireless keypads? I have recently installed a Texecom Veritas R8 control panel and intended to have two LCD RKP's, hard wired into the system. One of these RKP's is working fine, but the wire to the second is damaged and now that the house is decorated I don't want to chop into the plaster. My best solution would be if I could use a wireless keypad at this location. I am guessing that I would need a wireless receiver to then run the signal down a wire into my R8 control panel. Has anyone got any experience of adding a Texecom wireless RKP to a wired Texecom system and do you have any advise to give? Many thanks.
  8. Hi All, Newby here! Hit a problem with my alarm system and after checking out some of the other posts on here thought I'd join up and ask all you helpful people given the responses that seem to get posted! I've got a Veritas R8 alarm in the house, the main box is under the stairs then there's a keypad in the kitchen to set/deactivate the alarm. All's been working fine (and I ALWAYS set the alarm - full in daytime and part at night) then I came to set it the other day and the alarm just beeped at me. I've had experience with other alarm systems, and have fitted Veritas alarms in the past, and I know to listen out for the pattern and you can usually detect the type of error and look this up/obtain advice on this basis. In this instance, the alarm unit beeped 10 times before pausing. I've had a look around on the net, and have found posts and comments by people that this tends to refer to a power issue. As established from the posts, it can often be either a battery fault or that one of the on-board fuses has blown (or both). I've checked the fuses and they're all fine, in addition I've bought a replacement battery and fitted this, which hasn't resolved the problem. We have not had a power cut (as a number of people have posted about being the cause of their faults) so I'm not sure if that is or isn't relevant. If anyone has any other advice/ideas as to what could have caused this and how to resolve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!!! J
