martlewis Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Ah right, in that case it's not set for single button set. It needs a code to arm the system. The chime still turns off. Had a reply from Texecom saying that unfortunately you cannot disable the button or prevent chime being turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Ah. Well there still could be a way but i think your best bet here mate is to do as advised and set up an output to follow the zone and place a small buzzer on it, can provide a simple but effective indication. Regards, Ranger The above is my personal opinion and not that of my employer or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to lose that functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Well if you have the output space and assuming there are outputs on expanders in the texecom range then why not place a buzzer or small sounder of some sort on each floor. Obviously it might not be practicle depending on cable runs. Regards, Ranger The above is my personal opinion and not that of my employer or anyone else.

Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 buy three buzzers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martlewis Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Already have a sounder on the expander speaker output to mimic the keypad outputs. Just seems so daft having to buy sounders to connect to keypads that already have sounders on them. Guess it's that or a little modding of the keypad. Don't need the chime button anyway as all programming is done via laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keypads have sounders on them that sound when a zone set to chime activates. This obviously doesn't work for you. What cables did you install when you fitted the system? If you did it like the pro's you'd have spare pairs that you could use to connect a buzzer to that ran from the keypad to the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did it like the pro's you'd have spare pairs that you could use to connect a buzzer to that ran from the keypad to the panel. All he cables are 6 core as I had miles of the stuff from a previous job. My panel is wired using eol resistors so nearly all the cables have 2 spare pairs in them. The sounders in the keypads are spot on for what I want, what I was saying is daft is the idea that you can't lock the chimes on this panel. It's really easy to turn them off, i just thought the provision would have been there to set them on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the provision there to leave them on, in the same way there is provision there to leave your TV turned on. Manufacturers can't help with user error.
