dunt Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 i know the feeling. with the M800 you have to make a rough list of the zones and then tick them off one by one via the log, as the walk test does not display zones tested at the end. pain in the hole compared to the old TS range.

Don't they scroll all tested zones when u exit walktest now???

Monty Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am sure the do scroll through the zones after you have finnished Know the old TS you had to esc once to end walk test and scroll through but think the M range just scrolls through (problem if other peaple moving around trigg zones as it jumps to that zone ) but will give total no of zones tested in the log. www.AllanMoncrieffAlarms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Radio RKP, wouldn't that be a dream come true! You could sit in the van programming while the apprentice clears up! cometh WiFi connectivity - cometh the day. i wonder why has no manufacturer has offered this yet and got rid of the pia that are prog leads and dongles? i've never understood why manufacturers insist on the need of a dongle, the software is useless on anything else, if piracy is the reason then do as with Gardtec UDL software, you have to phone technical for codes to unlock it after installation- yet they still insist on a dongle not as though you going to whack it on a tex, scanny or a tunstal is it? regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

davescarb Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Press #Whilst walk test active and use the a-b keys to scroll tested zones, also to test all zones, in option 2, press * to toggle test on all zones. Makes walk testing easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes walk testing easy. why not just do your walk test then read the log???...you will find ALL your zone tested are in there logged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thats fine once you know all the zones are in correct sequence but on the first walk test you need to verify correct zones .Also the new M range key pads dint have A+B buttons its ^up and down arrows www.AllanMoncrieffAlarms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
