dogtag Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi guys. Just added a standalone expander board ( 8exp I think) to a system we fitted a few years ago. Existing system already has a plug on expander fitted. Fitted new expander, confirmed devices, both boards showing up correctly as 1 and 2. Programed new zones, wiring programmed as Normaly closed all appeared good. In walk test and when alarm set all new zones showing as closed and not activating when zone is walked? I am missing something but not sure what. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 How have you wired them as Normally closed? Needs to be across the 2 outer terminals of the 4. If wired double pole it needs to be set to double pole/eol Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If wired double pole it needs to be set to double pole/eol All wired as nc as is the rest of the system. Door contacts and pir. I even tried the cables separated at the contacts, still showing as closed on the system status? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Reprogram as double pole/eol and try that Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
