Hi and welcome the site is not as busy as it once was, but the ones that continue to visit are a good bunch old school

Welcome to the twilight zone , you will tested with the aircraft scene first....

Hi to evyone, just introducing myself as I'm new to this site. Reading a lot of interesting views and advice.

So what is the zone attribute set as? Data wiring to each detector correct? You sure they are enrolled correctly maybe, delete them all off and disconnect all the detectors except one and try to get that to work?

Thanks for replying! Here’s what I’ve checked so far: Addressing C090 first on line 1 (RIO addresses 3-5), then moved to line 2, RIO addresses 2, 3, 4, 5 enabled → panel shows RIO 202-205, V1.01, 100% comms. No other RIOs on line 2. Line 2 = panel → C090 → TouchCenter (end of line). Power C090 fed from a separate Power RIO (P026) AUX output: 13.75 V at the module (61-1-3). V-Plex loop at the C090 terminals: 10.28 V DC, polarity correct. Sensors are powered and their LEDs behave normally (PIR goes red on movement). Tests done 4191SN contacts: open/close correctly → loop and serial entry OK. DT7500SN: learned by serial (manual and auto-learn, auto-learn captures it when it goes into alarm), Loop 1 and Loop 2, zone response Fast, Walk Test (31), system set → never an alarm at the panel, only tamper (cover off = open-circuit tamper, cover on = closed). Two different DT7500SN units and two IS2500SN-type PIRs: same result. So the C090 clearly talks to the detectors (learn + tamper work), but motion alarms never get through. Any idea what else to look at? Is V1.01 known to have issues with the “Smart” V-Plex detectors? Thanks!

What you check so far ? Did you try addressing it elsewhere where ? Power readings at the v90? And so on lots of tings to look at Where is that dude galaxy guy when you need him ( @Galaxy Guy

Hi all, I’m bringing back into service a Galaxy Dimension GD-96 (firmware V6.70) in a house that was renovated 12 years ago. Running a cable to every detector wasn’t possible, so V-Plex (2-wire) was chosen – back then it was the only 2-wire option. It was never commissioned, and now I need to make it work. Setup V-Plex Interface C090, firmware V1.01 (shows as RIO 202-205 on line 2), loop OK at ~10.3 V. Devices: 4191SN contacts, DT7500SN, IS2500SN-type PIRs (4 DIP switches, no microwave), FG-1625SN glassbreaks. What works 4191SN contacts: zone opens/closes correctly. All devices learn fine (serial captured when the PIR goes red or a door opens). Tamper from DT7500SN and FG-1625SN reaches the panel (zone shows open-circuit tamper when the cover is removed). What doesn’t DT7500SN / IS2500SN: the alarm never reaches the panel – zone always “closed”, nothing in the log, nothing in Walk Test (31), not even with the system set. Sensor LEDs work normally. Tried loop 1 and 2, fast response, a different unit. IS2500SN-type PIR: zone permanently shows open-circuit tamper even with the cover closed. FG-1625SN: with the FG-701 the detector enters test mode (green LED), but I haven’t managed to trigger a real alarm (no red LED) without risking the glass, so I don’t know yet if its alarm would pass. Questions Is there a newer firmware for the C090 than V1.01, and how is it updated (chip swap?) Are the “Smart” V-Plex sensors (DT7500SN, IS2500SN) supported by the C090 at all? Which V-Plex PIRs are known to work with the C090? (I’ve ordered two older Ademco 4278EX-SN to test.) Any tip to test an FG-1625SN alarm safely? Thanks in advance for any help.

No worries, hope it goes smoothly. One thing worth setting when you configure the i66: keep the relay hold time short, a second or two, so it acts like a quick press on the A60's open input rather than holding the contact closed. Shout if the gate does anything odd once it's wired up.

Hi Jeremy thank you for this detailed reply I am going to look into it now

Obvs cant speak french then😂

:-) Lovely 🤣 👍 Congrats ive been about lol 😁

You can't retire until you've done all the xmas call out ?

I never bothered with safety ladders for years , until I started subbing with some dudes down south Then I started to look good, then I had to talk the talk, and now I am ready to retire

There not me real ladders there are my step ladders.... Anyway - £64.19+vat a pair ordered to get free carriage

You have a twin?

Yes, like vases a pair have a greater value

Two of the same

I'm still here

Hello again... You've just made it back in time to see my smashing new steps- Ahh, I just released why people leave :)

Bonjour

Yo

Hi just re found (If thats the correct word lol) Been at ADT for agggggges (Made redundant then went to Chubb and now back for my sins at ADT) just thought id pop in and say Hi

Thats a good idea to be fair, ill make sure I have a look night

Fair challenge al-yeti, I don't know of any for the i-ON. I was talking about addressable detectors in general and should have been clearer, so for virdi it's conventional PIRs on zones. Thanks james for the Risco and HKC examples.

You don't need to adjust it tho, default will give a long lasting battery unless you want to keep a faulty device going ? Even the ones that are opened allot Just use a decent battery if your not replacing yearly really
