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.

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.

as above, but i'd lift the aux fuse to prevent possible shorts

but then theres no point cutting the cores ( and the ext. sounder SHOULD be sounding too)

cores are cut so as to mark the cables for later reinstatement

he can always dis the aux power leads, he did fit it originally so should be able to work it out.

except he cut them too short and no amount of brute force and bad language is going to undo that terminal LOL

I'd remove the aux fuse too, and you wont lose your settings the veritas have a non volatile memory.

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?

hmm - but will the sounder sound ? Gardtec panels it would (the Aux fuse feeds the bell fuse see)
