Zone Tamoer

[sennajc]

I've made good progress installin my new Premier 24 thanks to help from here...

I now just have all zones showing 'tamper'. ie. The display is showing Zone 1-8 as tamper so can't set system.

I have wired pir using 6 wires and programmed them as Double Pole. The tamper wires all go back to the pane and I have wired them in series (daisy chain) and then taken the two ends to the Aux Tamp terminals.

I am guessing that somewher along the line there must be a wiring fault or maybe a faulty pir, so I plan to check all that. Just wondering is there anything else I should be looking out for??

Also, can someone explain how tamper works please? Is it just another 'normally closed' loop that when it goes open circuit causes an appropriate alarm?

thanks again for the hep...

hi sennajc,

i don't use this panel, but your sentence i underlined shows to me you seem to have programmed the zones as EOL (End Of Line) which require resistors to be fitted in the detectors. either that or you have faults on every zone as well as the tamper.

with global tamper you will not individually show a tampers on the zones, thats why we prefer EOL ir cuts down the fault finding time.

so check the programing of the zone attributes again that it is set to 'loop', if correct you need a meter and should test all the zone loops prior to connecting to to the panel.

Dont program as double pole, program as normally closed.

i should have added -:

most people including engineers will slap everything into the panel turn on and hope, when it works walk away with the step of a self declared genius .

it's very good practice for everyone, especially 'newbies' to get the panel and keypad working together before anything else is connected. then having tested with a meter for shorts and continuity, connect each zone one at a time and test it still all works. finally fit the sirens/sounders on the same basis to keep down the noise.

may take a little longer but blows less fuses or expensive equipment up - but care always pays off and a lot less time is wasted finding the source of any faults when they happen.
