Gardtec Wireless Zone Error

[jackbuchan]

I have a gardtec 595 panel with 5 wireless zones one of the contacts are on the cellar door and the other day the internal sounder went off when the system was set i had came in and i heard this then i went to unset and it came up enter code check and then it displayed Cellar Contact L!.

Does anyone know what L means ?

Is it some sort of zone monitoring and maybe stands for low battery or something however the contact was just put in last week with brand new battery !

any suggestions would be much apprechiated

!

" L " means loss - says the manual

check your reciever and zone RRSI readings again. Remember ALL zones need to be 10 above the threshold, which is the next highest figure after the reciever RSSI.

if the`re within limits try a new battery

Ive had this a couple of times. Bump up your threshold to 24% if its as most people leave it, at factory 16%. Problem solved.

Hi i have put this up to 24% and i am still getting the same problem any other ideas ?

if you have one swap it over with a reliable transmitter form another zone, or if not replace the transmitter seems you next move.

depends whats between the tx and panel or close to either, i.e. if you have a modern built home the plasterboard walls it may have the metal facing for heat retention and fire retarding, which also reduces the signal received.

"noisy" sources of RFi like an old freezer nearby.

Gardtec do have a tech help desk - see web site or back of manual

From the installation paperwork

Check supervision time and if required move jumper in detector to fast mon (signals sent

every 15 minutes

Had similar problems occasionally.

As Alan said, supervision loss is no comms between panel and detector. Adjusting supervision timer upwards may solve problem, but if it can't communicate for 1 hour why will it then communicate later.

Either a faulty detector (most likely) or signal path problems (worst case scenario).

I would change the detector first but if that doesn't resolve the problem then you're faced with the problem of resiting either the detector or receiver.

Good luck.

non of which applies if it fails the RSSI tests .............. hopefully Jack has started at the start

[Hugorune]

Starting at the start is always a good idea.

Though I've never been able to start anywhere else

LOL - I have a few subbies who always want to start in the middle, then wonder why they don`t seem to get finished.
