enasecurity Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi, I'd like to connect the relay output from a fire panel into a zone on a texecom expander so I can monitor its state through a dialler. However, I don't want to have to reset the panel everytime the fire alarm is activated. Is there a zone type or attribute I can use that will only activate an output programmed as mimic and automatically reset when the fire alarms output is closed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElecTech Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Does the dialler not have a direct trigger? If so just run whatever the trigger may be (+12v maybe?) through the fire panel relay. Job done, I'm not familiar with texecom so I'm presuming it doesn't have an onboard dialler which you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks  IIRC the zone doesn't even need to be programmed in to use zone mimic. Failing that Exit terminator or the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Perhaps expander is closer than dialler, spare pair back from there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enasecurity Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Expander is much closer than dialler. Would I still be able to have zone text and check the zone status through wintex if the zone wasn't programmed in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Best go for the Exit Terminate or Custom options then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
