Bigsmudge Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I have an accenta G3 which has been fine for some years Recently there has been a problem with a door contact causing false alarms I have changed both the contact and the magnet twice But now the alarm wont set I link out the circuit in question (5) and the alarm sets so you would think faulty cable or faulty contact yet the contact bells through to the panel when tested with a multi meter and appears to work perfectlyThe alarm works when the circuit is linked out but wont set when the contact is connected as said i have tried 2 new contacts but still no joy Any Ideas ??

MrHappy Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 you got a tamper circuit on this contact ? Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Sets when linked out at panel end or contact end though? 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...
PeterJames Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Its most likely a short between tamper and circuit, are there any spare cores on the cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 try metering between all cores ie red to blue, red to black, red to yellow etc to ensure you dont have any resistance between cores you shouldnt 1 Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I wouldn't say solved but it shouldn't be an issue for a while I would hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
