NPotty Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi Gents, i have learned a lot from the forum and want to thank you, but I am also after your help for something I cannot find the answer to. I have a Honeywell Flex 20 and it has 2 RF Portals attached, they are both blinking to indicate that they are communicating with the bus, if I pull the tamper link they both pop up on the keypad with their correct addresses. However, I am only seeing the range of addresses for 1 of the portals when I try to connect wireless devices... any ideas? Thank you in advance.

NPotty Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have nothing wired on the board, I only use the RF portals. The unused hardwired are set to spare, do I need to turn these off completely? Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyGuy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi, sorry, on holiday... OP, you just need to configure the 12 onboard zones as RF devices. One of the RF portals will have one virtual RIO enabled (8 zones) and this lets the panel use all 20 zones. The galaxy then uses agile routing to determine which portal has the best signal for the RF devices. You can also override this and fix a device to use a specific portal. See my previous last post in this thread where the installer had a hard wired RIO too. This allowed any mix of hard wired or RF across all 20 zones. https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42671-galaxy-flex-20-with-rf-rio/?do=findComment&comment=483040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPotty Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi @GalaxyGuy, Thanks for replying even when you are on holiday - your help is appreciated! I did come across this post, but I didn't understand how it translated to two RF Portals. Do I now just go to 52.1 and select a hardwired address and then select RF options within that address, then pair the device to that? If I do this, do I need to override the tamper for that hardwired channel then? Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-yeti Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I wonder do Honeywell make it this way because they are trying to keep the dimension compatible with the G2 and flex and so on but they still can't get it right for the average DIY user Even complicated for installers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPotty Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 I have followed your link but in menu 52.60.1 I only see the one batch of 8 RF addresses. you mention enumeration - how do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You didn't do this yet tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPotty Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Yes, I have done that and only have 8 virtual addresses 1021 to 1028. i have two portals, so where it mentions the RIO I did this with the first RF Portal.

james.wilson Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 but you only have 20 circuits, you need to use the onboard ones Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

NPotty Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 All sorted, I navigated to the onboard addresses and then used RF options to link it. Interestingly I had issues pairing with Alpha mode so had to select V2, but it’s all working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
