Px500 Swap Out Dualcomm Query

[Chopper81]

Hi,

Ive recently wrote off a px500 panel. Its decided we will swap it for a galaxy dimension simple enough however, the comms is currently via a dualcom on the dial capture input. Ive only ever used the pins connected to outputs on the panel. So, do i just run A and B terminals on the Galaxy to A and B on the dial capture dualcom inputs. Also is their any settings I need to alter on the galaxy?

Any help would be muchos appreciated

id say, as it needs to 'dial' the dualcom etc etc

So you want to reuse the existing Dualcom? If it's on a PX i don't think it'll be sitting on the XIB bus.

I'd also hope they've quoted to replace the data cabling as it'll more than likely be standard SC8 in place.

How old is the dualcom? Is it a UDL model or a standard GPRS unit?

As above the data line will more than likely be wired in Standard 8 core.

Yeah I will be swapping out the data line for twisted pair its only a small retail outlet so nothing massive. Im just worried about messing the comms up. Its an oldschool dualcomm gprs model

If it was my job I'd put the dualcom on pins and setup RSS.

But that depends if your setup for RSS.

Out of interest what's wrong with the PX?

[Chopper81]

The px500 is constantly sending something down the dial capture blocking the dualcomm. Nothing is being received at the atc i called dualcomm who dialled in snd ran diagnosis they asked me to remove the dial capture input i did and that freed up the dualcomm?

Thats strange,how old is the PX? I know with SV 4.51 there were some issues with it coming from factory with a few alarms set to signal which are turned off in the Tel no. menu in menu 99.

Drop me an email via TSI, be happy to show you SIA3 + UDL very simply on your Gal. You won't need the Dial Capture.
