Good evening all.

 

I've just finished installing the above mentioned control panel at home as my aged ADE Optima 2 Plus was becoming more trouble that it was worth to keep it alive.

(As the good folk on here told me many times it was !)

I've wired all 8 zones up with a mix of PIR's and magnetic door switches, powered the panel up (Whilst loading the factory defaults) and I'm getting a tamper fault that won't clear on all 8 zones.

 

I've wired the tamper for all 8 zones in a series loop as there are only one pair of tamper terminal connections on the PCB, the fault wouldn't clear although I checked the tamper loop for continuity as I added each connection so knew it to be good, I powered the panel down, removed the tamper loop wiring and just linked the pair of tamper terminal PCB connections together to see if the panel would work as it should, however upon powering the panel back up, I'm still getting the tamper fault on all 8 zones and it still will not clear, hence me turning to the many knowledgeable members of the security installer in the hope of finding an answer........🤞🤞🤞  

 

Any help / advice with this would be much appreciated.

 

Regards, Dave Walton.

 

 

you have programmed the zones to suit your wiring ?

Thank you for your reply.

I was leaning a little towards this being a set up / programming issue and my lack of experience with panels that have this degree of programming.

(Why I'm firmly in the DIY installers forum !)

If possible, would you be able to tell me the procedure that would remove this tamper fault problem ?

Unfortunately I don't have a installation / programming manual so any help with this would be very much appreciated.

 

Regards.

 

program circuits 1-8 as "Normally Closed" (from zone menu)

 

Out the box the panel is expecting an "End of Line" circuit

Thank you Mr Happy......👍👍👍

 

I have this morning programmed zones 1 to 8 as normally closed and am now able to use the alarm........🥳

 

Your help has been much appreciated, thank you.
