Hi, 

 

I'm currently replacing a Honeywell alarm system with the Premier Elite 24. I have completed the installation and everything is working as it should apart from the two wired door contacts which are showing tamper alerts. 

 

Can anyone offer any advice on how to resolve this issue? The current wiring only uses two cores in the contact and then the appropriate panel zone. 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Perhaps give model

 

PIR model number assuming you had built in resistors

 

And door contact model? Assuming no resistor ?

 

Probably if you required the door contacts probably do e them wrong or wrong resistance

 

What previous Honeywell system was it

Hi, 

 

Yes there's no resistors in the existing door contacts so from what I've read that's the issue. 

 

The old alarm was an Accenta S Mini

 

Can you recommend any contacts with inbuilt resistors? 

 

Thanks.

Was there a resistor pack in the texe?

No there wasn't

Ok perhaps one of the others can answer which contact you should get ,I am not familiar with resistor choices on the texe 

 

Assume you got pirs with selectable resistors , what have you set them to currently , for alarm and tamper?

OK thanks. My PIRs have selectable resistors set to 4k7 and 2k2. I've tested the system today everything's working fine apart from the door contacts. I did plenty of reading up, but I didn't realise I'd need contacts with resistors for EOL wiring. 

You need resistors for your contacts or contacts with resistors built in would be best.

Something like SC570/WH/MULTI for example.

 

They don't provide resistors in any Texe stuff now.

You could change the zones and series the tampers like a global tamper if the old panel was double pole but for the cost of some decent contacts it's not a good idea.

There you swb to the rescue you model number to purchase
