OtisStuart Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hi all, I'm a newbie here so forgive my ignorance if this is an easy one. I have a galaxy panel and the customer would like me to fire a small relay to power some led lights when a certain zone is activated with a double knock attribute. While I'm reasonably happy with firing the output I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I set the zone up for double knock operation. I work mainly/exclusively on Risco and Gardtec equip and the terminology within the honeywell programming manual doesn't seem as straight forward with regards to the double knock feature attributes for the zones. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9651 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 G2 has no double knock, must be the only panel out there that doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtisStuart Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks 9651, I've already been in touch with Honeywell and been told that exact thing. So hey ho it'll just have to be standard operation or nothing. Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO equipment should be as flexible as possible. Installers should know the regs and more importantly the companies should teach the regs to those installers.

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yep but not for any customers, I would remove and docket any DK attributes found on a maintenance. Found a one way radio garage PIR on double knock a few weeks back, wouldn't operate correctly as PIR would sleep after one knock. Seen contacts on DK too, again all down to engineers being properly trained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 also in EN a circuit has to perform certain actions within a set time. 10 seconds or twice wouldn't meet that requirement so technically any insurance, certification and claims to compliance could be void Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
