Hi all, I was wondering if you could help with an issue i am having with my texecom Veritas R8 plus .. ..

I installed this alarm last summer and it has worked fine since i installed it. I have the R8 Plus Control Panel, and 3 RKP's. Two of the RKP'S are the LED versions and the other has an LCD screen.

Anyway, the other day i was looking at the log via the LCD RKP, for a reason unknown the RKP froze, and I was unable to communicate with the system via the other 2 RKP's.

I decided to restart the system by unplugging from the mains and removing the battery.

After i restarted the system the fuse for the RKP's (500 mA) had blown. I replaced this with a spare, now there is a constant tamper light on all RKP's when i boot up the system.

I have tried to resolve the issue by checking the tamper line .. i have put a short it on the control panel so that i can be sure that is not the reason for the tamper light.

I am unsure why this is ...

All the RKP's are on, have power, and can communicate with the system, however the tamper light always remains on.

I had never had a problem until now.

Can anybody help please ?

Thanks, Tom.

is the mains connection on a PLUG TOP?

part p requirment ? lol

is the keypad responding - any lights or key tones?

No, the mains connection is a proper connection taken form a spur.

The Keypad now responds and i am able to communicate with the system, however the tamper light remains.

Thanks =]] Tom

could it be possible you got a tamper situation at the time you were reading the log - meter out all the others too , especially the bellbox with the weather we have been having and was it the keypad tamper you linked out ?

I have linked out all the tampers.

The keypads dont have tamper, they have four connections, +12v -O , Transmit, receive.

check the back tamper again on the lcd keypad

What do you mean by the back tamper... the microswitch that settis the tamper off if the keypad is opened ?

Thanks, Tom.

yep seems the logical place to start - you pressing the buttons hard ?

Right ... thanks ..

I wasn't pressing the buttons particularly hard -

I will have to let you know what the result is tomorrow, getting a bit late now.

Thanks, Tom.
