Frommo Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Looking to wire a second bell box at the back of the house into a galaxy dimension, but to save on cable run tried to wire it into a rio which is only a few feet away. The bell box is a texecom oddysey 3e. I have worked everything out except where to put the resistor on the tamper circuit. Tried putting the return from the bell box tamp connection to the panel through a 1k resistor but keep getting a high reisistance reading, the only way i could get it to work was to take the tamper return from one side of the microswitch through a 1k resistor back to the panel bypassing the tamp connection on the bell box pcb. Is this ok or is there a better way to do it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Ideally you want to use a relay, but you might be able to modify the resistor value. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Guest Oxo Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Pull the Tamper straight off the micro switches. Drop the negative return. Had to do this on early oddy3`s with M series panels, they just didnt get along together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Can't you just prog an Aux input as bell tamper..........................and ppl wonder why we don't use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 We have done this on smart Rio's and always fitted a RB007 type relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done this on smart Rio's and always fitted a RB007 type relay. we have a couple of sites with the same setup, scanny and gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 No need for a relay. Wish people would read posts and not assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
