phily41 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 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.

datadiffusion Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So, you've the two boxes wired in series so that a tamper in either causes a tamper at the panel, right?

phily41 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Are you sure that the back and front tamper on both boxes is closed completely with the lid on?

al-yeti Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Can you wire up the bell that isn't working in its own, if so does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phily41 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) 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?

sixwheeledbeast Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Triggering the bells clear the hold off mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 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...? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Times out if everything is clear I think, would have to check the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phily41 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
