Guest jw390898 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Need some help. I am decorating and needed to extend the cable to a detector. Foolishly I did not think of taking the fuse out the spur and cut and joined the cables. No power on the keypad! Replaced the fuse and power is back to keypad and detectors but the keypad just shows ***************** and does not respond to anything (other then beeping to acknowledge a key being pressed) Any ideas?

Guest Oxo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 The data line is missing. Go back and connect colour for colour. The keypad was probably on the same cable as the PIR.

james.wilson Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 agreed, you are missing data. You have either fried the data line (unlikly but depends on what you shorted to what and for how long), or you havnt joined the cables correctly securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

I will check connections once more.

Guest Guest Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thanks guys - sounds promising I will recheck the connections I made - However the PIR I extended is seemingly workingin the sense it detects me etc... I will check connections once more. Well I have remade all connections and reconnected fuses - same problem. The keypad powers up and makes a continous bleep till a key is pressed and shows **************** the little led at the bottom left of the unit flashes on and off green very second. Does this indicate fried data cable? If so are we talking the feed of data back from the PIR or the keypad to panel, if keypad to panel can I not run a fresh link between the two? Could the keypad itself be damaged?

james.wilson Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yes sounds like the panel has been fried.

norman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 have you messed with the keypad address at all? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Monty Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 To good a panel to fry have a look at internal fuses better still (poss cheaper)get an Engineer in to have a look www.AllanMoncrieffAlarms.com Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/30251-g2-20-mk7-keypad-trouble/#findComment-259364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Back to basics, flylead the keypad at the panel. Also should be 13.5vdc at keypad +/- and 1 to 1.8 vdc on the data line.
