Shembo Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 I did think that al-yeti. It's about a 50m run but it's hidden along the backs of fencing, under a driveway, across a roof, you know the sort of thing. I did swap to two spare cores in the cable in case one of the others were damaged, (did this on my first visit) but to no avail. I've ordered a new Rio now. I'll swap that out and see what happens. In the mean time, I'll still entertain any fresh ideas that anyone comes up with. Thanks for all your help everyone, I'll let you know what happens.

james.wilson Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Id be drawn towards a cable problem to be honest. What sort of cable is it? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Shembo Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's 6 core cca james.wilson. In what way do you think it might be a cable problem mate?

GalaxyGuy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yes, from the description of the cable installation, it would probably make sense to perform some tests on the cores for water ingress Etc. The RIO's are very reliable. A cable swinging along the back of a fence - less so.

Shembo Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Haha, I make you right on that Galaxyguy. How would I go about testing it? I've 'belled it out' and put my meter on it and it's coming back at under 1k ohm. Does that sound about right for the distance?

al-yeti Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just replace the cable don't worry about taking old one out and either get external grade, armoured or pipe it Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40070-missing-rio-102/page/2/#findComment-445555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shembo Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah I guess you're right al-yeti. That's going to take some planning though so I think I'll swap the Rio as soon as it comes and hope that solves it. If not I'll do the cable. Thanks again guys.

james.wilson Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 1k would be about 1000m on copper cable. 1k is too high imo securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
