marksandsparks Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I installed a Texecom R8Plus system a couple of years ago and it was reasonably easy to install. But now I have to move one of the sensors. What exactly do I need to do though to prevent damage to the unit? Do I have to power down, and if so how do I do that and will I lose all of my settings? Thank you.
morgan306 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 1.Put the system into engineer mode,to avoid it going off when you take the lid off the detector. 2.Carefully snip the wires one at a time in the detector, leaving a little bit of coloured insulation so you remember which colour went where. 3.Move the detector and reconnect as before,making sure you dont short any wires together(I usually snip them at staggered lengths). 4.Lastly, perform a walk test to make sure the detector works correctly,then remove from engineer mode. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. as above, but i'd lift the aux fuse to prevent possible shorts regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
Guest anguscanplay Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 as above, but i'd lift the aux fuse to prevent possible shortsregs alan but then theres no point cutting the cores ( and the ext. sounder SHOULD be sounding too) either or, either or

Guest anguscanplay Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 cores are cut so as to mark the cables for later reinstatement except he cut them too short and no amount of brute force and bad language is going to undo that terminal LOL
iSTORM Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I'd remove the aux fuse too, and you wont lose your settings the veritas have a non volatile memory. My Name is Iain iStorm Security Solutions Visit My Website
marksandsparks Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks for all your advice. Can someone just confirm. If I remove the AUX fuse to prevent shorting, will the external sounder go off in the same way as if I removed the control panel battery?
