Lwillis Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Meq's? Wired in cat5 as well by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajbps Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 yes its cat 5 Do you think its the cat 5 cable thats the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 No its just prone to snapping and causing issues. You have wired them as Closed loop. With a common anti tamper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Well yes!...cat5 is for cat5 applications, 8 core alarm cable is for 8 core alarm cable applications, Why else would there be different cable types?.

rajbps Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 so if i get the right cable and with the current wiring should it work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethecamera Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) The cable isn't your problem, it's not the correct cable for the job, but, providing it is all terminated and not snapped where you've screwed it in to the termination strips it will work.  From your initial post it seems you have open circuits on zones 1,2 & 3 and an open circuit on the global tamper.  Zones points to no 12v dc at the detectors, either you have a short somewhere, a broken wire, or you've crosed polarity. The 9651 (IIRC) has a thermal fuse so it shouldn't be that. Ideally you need a multimeter to start tracing your fault, if you dont have one check each detector individually, when they are correct the led will light in the detector, indicating power.  The tamper is most likely going to be either a tamper spring in a detector or a broken wire at termination, (cat 5 again), again a meter makes it easy to trace, but failing that wire each one in individually until the fault recurs, this will tell you which one has the open circuit.  You can buy a multimeter for less than £10 which will do what you need, and by the look of all that cat5, it may prove an invaluable investment in th future!  Mike Edited July 4, 2014 by mikethecamera Quote I've learned so much from my mistakes, I'm thinking of making a few more..

al-yeti Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Or you wired the keypad tamper connector through it, disconnect it see what happens if that's the case , seems like wiring issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
