Cpx Wiring....

[Guest xt600]

I'm not here to be patronised and told that i cant fit it because its not a diy panel.

I'd like to thank alan and others for their constructive and helpful comments. Anyone else who is not here to help then please don't post.

So being helped is patronising.

Think i`ll stick with your last sentance.

Oldhand, if you consider repeating a question in the biggest possible letters helping, then i can do without that kinda help. Especially when i had already answered his [bigsize=7] question if he cared to read the whole posts.

Thankfuly, there are some reasonable and helpful people on this site who are genuinely helpful

When you go into program zones and you change the zone type and then press yes to accept and the cursur will mover to the bottom right of the Display and the word will say "remove" or similiar press no until "off" is displayed then yes to accept.

Now you might understand what we were all trying to tell you its not a DIY panel.

thx alarmgard...i have turned off all unused zones. Trouble is, it still wont set because of a 'tamper zone 4'.....

Im using the first 4 zones and cant see any problem with the tamper circuit.

And yes, it may not be a diy panel but i dont want a **** diy panel!! It's a pro panel and this forum is for people to offer help for peeps like me is it not??

Take a look at the srewfix electrical forum...its full of diy'ers after info, and they dont all get told not to ask, some actually get good advice!

sounds like you might have your resistors wrong way round

thanks ispy, the resistors are the correct way. i have found the problem with the tamper zone fault. Disconnecting the integral reed sw on the shock sensor ha scleared the problem so i have to look at how to wire the reed sw in.

The next problem is my pir. Although when it detects movement all 3 (pir, mw, alarm) leds light up, no alarm is actuallt triggered. Any ideas?

Is it connected?

hi xt600,

most in here are helpful, but ego and self beleif in ones stature and importance tends to get in the way sometimes

It's the same in other forums Alan. I sometimes give advice in electrical forums and these forums too are littered with people who would rather question the people asking help, than to actually help them. They are happier blowing their own trumpet and attempting to belittle those seeking help than actually helping them. I'd rather people asked before doing something potentially dangerous so they can at least be armed with a little knowledge. Electricity is dangerous in the wrong hands!

Anyway, thanks to those who have helped me here i am getting somewhere with this alarm now...

If questions are not asked how can a soloution be arrived at?..........You give advice in "electrical forums" and yet dont understand resistors nor simple circuits? Isnt that all part of your qualifications if you "advise" on electricals?

Are you reading the same topic as me? I'am in cpx wiring..... I've seen people give you decent advice only for you to whinge because you've completey misunderstood the content

sorry Mr Happy,

i'm just not having that mate, while agreeing most have offered fair advice with best intent, the way some of it was couched, not all of it is palletable and i for one when i see it posted was dismayed. especially when you concider even for an experienced engineer (and many so called have posted with problems in trade - so backing that statement up), programming the CPX and apreciating all it's properties is not so easy to get to grips with on first or even second sight. ok agreed, mainly due to the pi$$ poor 'quick start' up sheet posing as a manual.

if you asked a fair question, and did not cotton on would you not be offended by banner size lines? especially when he had previously addressed it - any appology offered? i did not see one.

xt600 simply asked for advice, so implying the need for a least some patience from us 'professionals' not blatent insults and slights.

xt600 did use a general term in saying 'all' but we knew who he really meant, and so did they.

i was taught that being a professional covers all aspects of the job including advice and training, otherwise your just a common tradesman with a few tools and an attitude.
