sups Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello All I'm struggling to get my Alarm panel set up as i want it, and i think i have a gaping hole in the way i have it set up at the moment. I have Texecom Premier Elite 48 with several PIRs around the property and a magnetic door sensor on the main door. i have a key pad in the hall way, where i also have a PIR. so i have set up the zones as follows: Front door: Zone Type - Entry/Exit 1 Attribute 1 - Omittable Attribute 2 - None Halllway PIR Zone Type - Guard Access Attribute 1 - Omittable, Access, Entry/Exit 2 Attribute 2 - none The problem i have is that if the front door is tripped and the alarm is NOT deactivated, only the internal alarm is triggered and the external SAB is quiet. To ensure that the external sounder is actually working i have activated a Panic alarm and i can hear the siren from the external sounder. Ultimately this means that if someone was to force the front door open, the external sounder wouldn't go off and no one outside would know. can someone please help me diagnose what the problem could be? thanks Sups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Second Entry Timer or Bell Delay? You wouldn't normally program the final door as omittable. If you leave the alarm sounding does bells kick in after a minute or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sups Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks for the reply... No I've never waited anything more than say 10-15 seconds before disarming. I'll check the value of the 2nd entry timer, and bell delay and leave the alarm sounding for this length of time to see what happens. I've read the section on assigning zones in the install manual loads...And i couldn't see this being explained... I have to admit i don't fully understand the logic sometimes.... Thanks again.. I'll report back with my results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Well having the device that starts the timer omitted, would mean you have no idea if the system is armed until you set it off. The manual will be pitched for engineers reference so things like that wouldn't be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
