The Flex+ supports grade 3. 

 

Oh dear, sounds like a dimension replacement.

Okay, checked this out on the Flex with a RIO.  So what you need to do is configure the virtual RIO in the RF portal so that it doesn't take any addresses up.  Ie. No virtual RIO enabled. Then you can configure any of the 20 hardwired zones as either wireless or hardwired.  The easiest way to do this is to:

 

1. Enter engineering mode and remove both portal and rio from the system.

2. Exit engineering mode and remove the devices from the config when prompted.

3. Set the RIO address to 2 and add back to the bus.

4. Enter eng mode and menu 72 to detect the device.

5. Add the portal and then menu 72 to detect it.

 

Now the portal should show on its bus, but with no virtual RIO's addressed (menu 51.60.1 shows the virtual RIO - note my typo earlier when I said it was 56).

 

If you want to do this without removing devices, you need to use 51.60.1 to diable the virtual rio, then the hard wired RIO can be enumerated onto the bus.

As simple as that !

I had exactly the same issue.  Thank you so much for sharing. Now I just need to work out how to use the Ethernet module to connect to the app...

Hi regarding the galaxy flex 20 panel setup if you do the following to put the wired Rio onto the system it works first time 

 

Address Rio as 2

Address keypad as 3 and above 

Make sure rf Rio in menu 56.60.1 is disabled

Rf Rio will show as 102 but wont see it active 

Exit engineering mode to check for tampers and any additional mods 

Once system found new Rio give system a restart to save config and refresh the system 

The extra zones 1021 to 1028 will be seen and active fir new detectors to be wired/added 

 

Apologies that this thread is older but thought it was relevant to the same topic
