TEXECOM ODYSSEY BELLBOX ISSUE

Hi and thanks in advance for any advice given here.

 

I have a texecom premier elite 24 panel. Yesterday I replaced my old bell boxes with two new Odyssey x-BE boxes.

I have followed the instructions regarding wiring from the manual...but I've got a problem.

 

FRONT bell box has left light only flashing...according to hand book it says its stuck on HOLD-OFF mode.
Rear bell box  has the 2 flashing light working so that box seems to be working ok.

 

I've rang texecom support and I'm totally at a loss,,,I've been at this 2 days and checked and rechecked wiring.

 

Could someone please give me a easy step by step guide to sort this, even a simple wiring diagram...

 

Also what advice which jumpers to set on each box.

 

thank you philip.

 

So, you've the two boxes wired in series so that a tamper in either causes a tamper at the panel, right?

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Ive basically just followed the instructions from the guide below.

I have removed Tamper wire from MSW 2 on the first unit and connected 'white cable' (spare) into it....on the second unit I have connected it into MSW 1

Are you sure that the back and front tamper on both boxes is closed completely with the lid on?

Can you wire up the bell that isn't working in its own, if so does it work?

I'm for sure, Ive had these boxes open and closed rechecking and rechecking. the rear box seems to be working ok, its just the front box...... I removed it today to check if it wasn't faulty and wired it straight into the panel and it was 100% working.

Should I just run the Front and rear cable directly straight into the panel instead of running one from the front box into the rear box?

Triggering the bells clear the hold off mode?

I was going to say, isn't this that texe flash the strobes thing to put it in eng mode, but did assume it would time out? Or not...?

Times out if everything is clear I think, would have to check the manual.

If the system is clear I think both light are to flick off and on.. the Rear does this but the front box only the left green lights up. The manual claims it's stuck in a safe mode. 

 

Would you know can you directly wire them straight into the panel?
