Help please. Texecom Premier Elite 24 new installation which I’m setting up some of the zones to help understand its operation. I will be adding another 8 zones later. All zones are EOL and one per zone.

 

However I’ve got an issue with front door contact which is a CQR SC570 (SEE IMAGE) (one on back door as well). It’s differs in that I’ve wired it to the keypad next to the door and connected to the Zone 1 at the back of keypad.  This I’ve mapped to zone 17.  I do have a 8 zone expander connected to the panel motherboard although nothing wired into it as yet.

 

This zone 17 now shows a tamper alarm (see image). Ive isolated the switch and confirmed its resistances are 2.2k closed and 7k open (same as its twin on back door zone 1)

 

I know there’s also a tamper error on zone 5 which is a viper shock, but I’ve not looked at this yet.

 

I suspect its to do with the keypad configuration which I’m missing something. Any ideas please?

You need engineer

have you tried putting a 2k2 resistor across the circuit in the keypad?

Hi James. I originally had 2 wires from keypad zone 1 Alarm terminals. I did not have the tampers connected !  I have now connected as per photo but get the display Active but red sign on wintex.. See images. 

no i was meaning instead of the circuit wires. to prove the cable really.

I dont know the texecom stuff but id test it with a shirt resistor to see if its programming etc

No matter what i do with the resistors it always shows on the keypad display greater then 65k ?  What is the correct way to wire from the keypad zone, it has 2 A and 2T terminals? I’m thinking its probably the programming I’m missing ?

But it's not what he saying , now it seems you don't know how to wire contact?

 

What's happens if you place resistor across keypad terminals?

 

What happens if you connect cable remove contact and put resistor across pair going to keypad ?

 

What's keypad say then , as then you can follow order of fault finding if you can't test cable directly or have a meter

 

Unless it's something to do with how you have mapped the zones

Why do you have a cable pair and resistors connected in keypad?

You have to set the zone type as Double Pole/EOL and you need to wire it correctly, that being using the outer terminals of the four in the keypad and your 4k7 and 2k2 wired in the contact as per the instructions in the manual.

>65k means open circuit aka tampered.

I think we have a winner....
