Tex24 Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Hi I am commissioning a Texecom Elite 24 system.This is my very first installation. It has 22 zones using FSL wiring. It has 2 external keyboards.Also an 8XP External expander and an 8XE internal expander is included.I am using Wintex software to analyse and configure the system.Wintex shows that all the zones are healthy and functioning correctly, showing the correct resistance values for a resting state of 2.2K approximately. The two unused zones are set as Unused.The problem I have is this.In the Wintex diagnostics (Expander Status section) the 8XE expander shows that it is off line (Not fitted) , Zero volts. Expander Network Errors 0. Expander Box Tamper Open .Inspite of this all the zones connected to the 8XE are shown to be operating correctly. I have replaced the 8XE with another one however the problem remainsThe 8XP expander shows all correct and working and if relevant is set to address 2.I have absolutely no experience in fitting alarm panels and am at a loss to figure if the Wintex software has a glitch and incorrectly shows off line or if I should look for another reason the 8XE is showing offline.Has anyone any experience of this please your help and advice would be very much appreciated.
WDT Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Hi I guess when you say all the zones show correctly you are talking about 17 to 24 which are on expander number 2 (external Expander) Also have you set the aux input on the expander to not used and not to tamper unless you are using it as a tamper loop
