rossibufc Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Personally ( after you have answered James) I would flylead both RKP`s at the panel to make sure all is well. Had similar before on a G3-520 with 12 RKP Ethernet dual SAB and 7 internal sounders. Turned out the PCB`s were at fault. In diagnostics 61:1:2 PS, the panel will work without the resistors in the keypad. Again i`d double check if your unsure. will check this out. If only I could get back to my beloved ATS panels and not these fecking Galaxys. (sorry just a joke with a person I work with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 We all have our faves love Cooper menvier/scantronic. Then got into Gal`s. Hate Gartec, Castle and a few others, not saying cannot work on em, just do not like. RS50 anyone? Gonna do another thread. watch the next free space.

The company I work for uses alot of Guardtec and like you I hate them. Galaxy dead on but I have a lot to learn on them but my fav is ATS. My work mates fav is galaxy but he was telling me not to put 2 resistors in the keypads but only use 1 and if that doesnt work put resistor in panel but personally I think hes talking ####.

Guest Oxo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Two resistors in a RKP ???????????? WRONG Also in Panel??????????? Its called End Of Line for a reason! Think you may have answered your own questions. Apply for trade and download a Galaxy manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Its not unusual to have a resistor at the panel end as well on rs Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It is for Galaxy if you listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant he told me not to put resistors in the 2 keypads but in one only and als try putting resistor in panel end. I like you am confused by this as if I am not mistaken the resistor is for terminating data line. But as I said I think hes talking ####. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Your right I got the wrong end of the stick. Sorry. Galaxy recommend one in each RKP,removing the jumper as you rightly state. I would still check the resistors, and again flylead the RKP`s near the panel. Your using Belden so RF or induced AC should not be a problem unless your running it in a power station And only grounded at the panel not at either RKP. your voltages look correct, as before do a comms check. less than 96% and there is a problem ( from my experience anyway) Another thought any Rio`s added on the data lines, obviously the address has to differ. Just a though as you do seem clued up. Also try 51:17 a restart, can help. Be good to know your results after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The belden daisy chains through this going to 1 keypad. Will have to do comms check when back on site. for advice. If it is less than 96% what is the likely problem?

Guest Oxo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Less than that I have had to change the RKP/Rio. Like I said might be good to fly everything off a 1 mtr lead, one RKP then the 2nd then the Rio obviously checking the comms each time you add. If it all runs okay then the suspect must be the cable to one or the other directions. As all here say it is good practise to check all connections and make sure there are no loose strands that could be shorting.That could also be corrupting the data lines. But as b4 fly lead the peripherals before anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
