marksandsparks Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I installed a Texecom R8Plus system a couple of years ago and it was reasonably easy to install. But now I have to move one of the sensors. What exactly do I need to do though to prevent damage to the unit? Do I have to power down, and if so how do I do that and will I lose all of my settings? Thank you. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/22183-moving-sensor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan306 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 1.Put the system into engineer mode,to avoid it going off when you take the lid off the detector. 2.Carefully snip the wires one at a time in the detector, leaving a little bit of coloured insulation so you remember which colour went where. 3.Move the detector and reconnect as before,making sure you dont short any wires together(I usually snip them at staggered lengths). 4.Lastly, perform a walk test to make sure the detector works correctly,then remove from engineer mode. Hope that helps. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/22183-moving-sensor/#findComment-190016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anguscanplay Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 cores are cut so as to mark the cables for later reinstatement except he cut them too short and no amount of brute force and bad language is going to undo that terminal LOL Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/22183-moving-sensor/#findComment-190045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSTORM Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I'd remove the aux fuse too, and you wont lose your settings the veritas have a non volatile memory.

marksandsparks Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks for all your advice. Can someone just confirm. If I remove the AUX fuse to prevent shorting, will the external sounder go off in the same way as if I removed the control panel battery?

Guest anguscanplay Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 F1 BatteryF2 Bell F3 Auxiliary F4 Network F5 Power Supply Output hmm - but will the sounder sound ? Gardtec panels it would (the Aux fuse feeds the bell fuse see) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/22183-moving-sensor/#findComment-190081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
