MJE Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 ok sorry its taken me so long to reply, i was getting an error accessing the site last night I put my lamps across it and it is closed when the magnet is in place,I asked the guy I bought it off and he said that's what is should be doing so it isn't a N/O contact, I will try the in line resistor now, but it wasn't showing tamper? it was saying 1001 door open when it was setting and then would only set if the i opened the door. The eBay description is "normally closed"To my way of thinking that means the contact is closed without any outside influence (eg magnet).When the magnet is adjacent to the contact, the contact will open. Meant for door alarms i reckon. You can get them normally open. Have you metered it?You can get them normally open. Have you metered it? Yes, Knights do certain ones as NO Yep use them a lot on nurse call systems for door monitoring. thats automatically what i thought as well, and then thought the contact they had sent was the wrong one, but it is 100% closed with magnet in place Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/38588-contact-working-opposite-way/page/2/#findComment-419868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 whats the diagnostic reading when closed (short im guessing) and you only have the eol resistor not the shunt as well. It shouldnt be short when closed. Whats a lamp, are you passing current through it for test purposes and a lamp? you need a meter in that case securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

MJE Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 No haha its these test lamps http://www.fluke.com/fluke/uken/electrical-testers/Electrical-Testers/T90-T110-T130-T150-Voltage-and-Continuity-Testers.htm?PID=73757 the inline resistor solved the problem. the only other thing now is, its saying tel line fault press enter to continue when setting, even though its set to no in 50.engineers- 1paramaters 18stopset- 4.tel line fault - no cant find any other settings for the tel line? thanks for all your reply's Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/38588-contact-working-opposite-way/page/2/#findComment-419953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 He put the hinges on the opposite side, cured it... Looks like it only had one resistor... So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/38588-contact-working-opposite-way/page/2/#findComment-419991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
