TSV Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi, I bought a Texecom Premier and LCD Keypad and had an electrician fit it. When I came to program it it says zones 1-8 Tamper but 9 onwards are secure. It's a simple system, I only have 2 doors with contacts and 4 windows with vibration sensors, no PIR's or anything else. The electricianis back tomorrow for some other bits so I was hoping people could tell me what it is likely to be so I can get him to double check everything. The vibration sensors are Texecom too and they seem to be OK, they flash green every few seconds and when I bang on the window they go red for a few seconds. I've set the chime to be on and when I bang the windows the chime doesn't go off. It doesn't go off when I open the door either. Can anyone give me some advice please?

norman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's programmed wrong. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSV Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's programmed wrong. Thanks for your reply. I've got the guide here, any idea what is programmed wrong and what it should be? Sorry to be a pain, I'm useless at this which is why I brought in an electrician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 electricians and alarms generally dont mix. If you have paid him, then he'll sort it. If he doesnt know what hes doing, he shouldnt have said yes. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iapalategi Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Which manufacturer/model are the sensors ? Have you configured the zone wiring properly as DP/DEOL/TEOL/NC/NO ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSV Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 The sensors are Texecom ones. I called Texecom before I bought everything to make sure they were compatible. I have the Premier with the chrome LCD that I bought extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iapalategi Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 The default conf in the premier panels is Double Pole/EOL, which should be fine for your sensors. Have the sensors wires connect to all the 6 connectors ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSV Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Not sure as I can't get the control panel open until tomorrow. Assuming he has done that correctly, what else could it be? I've just been programming it and all seems well until you get into walking the system and it just says 1-8 tamper. There should only be 6 zones as I've only got 2 doors and 4 windows so I'm guessing it's not a wiring error or it would only show zones 1-6 tamper. It says zone 9 onwards are secure.

iapalategi Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You have to program the panel to disable unused zones. Zones 7 and onwards should be set to "Not used" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-G Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm useless at this which is why I brought in an electrician. When you need your car repairing do you use a lawn mower mechanic? ....... get my drift? . . . PM me for access to the SSAIB members discussion area.
