shieldssecurity Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hi, I have just powered up a premier 24. It has got 2 LCD keypads and 1 expander. Everything went well, all programmed no problem, showed the customer how to use the system. 5 mins after I left it goes mad. First of all it shows zone 9 tamper so I check detector, cables and resistors and find nothing wrong, so to be on the safe side, I change the resistors and wait to see what happens. All seems to be ok then all of a suuden, it goes off and shows Exp 1 Lost. The expander is next to the panel and thae wiring and voltage are fine. I'm guessing the expander is faulty. Anyone else had the same problem "25 years of experience has taught us to care about the smaller jobs and given us the expertise to succeed in the larger ones"
miaren Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Is it a Steel or Poly? Tried fitting a new fuse into F3?
shieldssecurity Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Is it a Steel or Poly? Tried fitting a new fuse into F3? Its a steel one and I've checked F3 and its fine. Texecom have told me to replace the cable but I've checked it and its fine "25 years of experience has taught us to care about the smaller jobs and given us the expertise to succeed in the larger ones"
Alarm Protection Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Power spikes maybe? Not used to installing Texe equipment but once fitted ACT mains filters to a Gardtec pansl and that stopped all tampers coming up on the keypad. On the RKP it was reseting the chip(watchdog reset) and the filters solved the problem. !
miaren Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Have you got multiple cores on the T R lines between the panel and expander?
shieldssecurity Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Have you got multiple cores on the T R lines between the panel and expander? yep, i used an 8 core "25 years of experience has taught us to care about the smaller jobs and given us the expertise to succeed in the larger ones"
Guest Guest Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 yep, i used an 8 core I think he meant have you doubled up on the cores. I guess he's aiming at splitting the data (is this possible) causing it to fault??
james.wilson Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Have you doubled up the data pair? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'd normally triple up on the power with eight core (red/white/orange-black/grn/brown). Even on small runs. The data is fine up to 100m on one pair in the standard star setting, will go up to 250m daisy setting. Is the Star/Daisy jumper fitted? Have you tried changing the address switches in "Confirm Devices"? Flick them one way and flick them back, can fix! Address dip switch 1 is On and 2-4 Off for Expander 1, is this correct? T and R the correct way round at both ends? What are the data lights on the expander doing?
