Hi Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

I have just spent all afternoon trying to sort out my sons alarm system, it is a Texecom Veritas 8 with a Texecom Odyssey alarm box, 3 PIR's and 3 external door contacts.

The problem has only started recently but when the alarm is set and you exit the house, after the exit time expires the alarm goes off.  You can silence the externally alarm by entering any single button on the key pad ? but the panel inside keeps bleeping until you enter the full code.  No faults are being logged in the memory and keypad lights are working as usual with no faults showing.

 

I have disabled all the zones except the entry door (it made no difference)

Changed entry exit door to a different door (it made no difference)

linked out the PIR tamper circuit (it made no difference)

Re set panel to factory settings (it made no difference)

Checked all fuses in the panel and removed bell box cover, cleaned out a few cobweb but all looks dry and in good condition.

Removed all power and battery from panel and rebooted (it made no difference)

 

Beginning to think it is a PCB fault. have I missed anything ?

Thanks for any help received.

Maybe there was an exit fault , did you watch the panel while setting or close the door and go out

Hi

Yes I was stood next to the panel while my son went out (I was out of view of any PIR's)

We also changed the entry exit door to the side door zone (5) and disabled the front door zone (1) but it made no

difference.

Thanks for your reply though.

Try turning off chirp confirmation on set jobby and try again.

The model has chirp? On set

 

Op does it continue or is it a short burst

No idea, just a hunch that the o/p may be sticking, you could also try removing the bell trig and see what happens.

Actually, a neighbour has one and it strobes not chirps when they set ti.

Iirc panel does strobe confirmation but not squawk/chirp.

HI

Sorry not sure about this chirp on set, I have been checking the manual When the alarm is set you get a

bleep bleep---bleep bleep--- sound when you open the exit door the key pad zone one lights and the chime starts as well when the door is closed the light goes out and the bleep bleep--- continues until the exit time is reached then the alarm goes off. Pressing any button on the key pad stops the external sounder but the panel still bleeps until the code is input.

Non of this logs a fault ?

Is bell trigger connected to a pgm? Does veritas 8 have a pgm?

 

Need an ex sparky to answer this
