Guest brinzlee Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Gurus Wondered if anyone has come across a limit on the location of a K6500 remote kepad to a Melcom ST6500 control box. At the moment its on about 15 metres of 4 core and the keypad is going haywire. Not sure if it is a blown board or a limit on the cable length...Any ideas anone....I havent put the backup battery in the main panel yet I was just firing it up from the mains...but that shouldn't make any difference should it ??

Gopher Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I'm not familar with this alarm panel / keypad but many systems require an End of Line resistor fitted in the last keypad, I would double check the manual to see if this is the case, it might be your getting interferance due to power cables nearby, give them a try.

FASTCAR Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hi , Is it an LED or LCD keypad , on the LCD you should use 6 core , try using a short length of cable to the main panel , this will prove if it the 4 core cable / length or not.
