The LED on the RS232 board - is it supposed to mimic the other LEDS in terms of connection to the panel etc

 

ie - slow long flash - no / bad AB comms

      quick flash  - good AB comms

 

Only reason I ask is that my Gold connection has stopped working and now the only led that remains operational is the one which is slowly blinking.

 

I reset the PC, the Alarm and removed and re-added the board. But the panel no longer recognises that the RS232 board has been reconnected.

This is a bus device, so entering and exiting engineering mode should re-enumerate it onto the RS485 bus. Resetting the alarm should also achieve the same though... Did you power cycle the module itself. If it has hung, then it will not re-join.  Very old tech now - get a G3 or Dimension at least the 232 is built in :)

I have power cycled the module - by removing it completely and clearing the mem sw.

 

When I reconnect it, the led blinks to report bad AB.

 

Is there a "wanted" part for non trade on this forum? I just cant justify changing out the panel when I havent even finished the install yet - will it mean new keypads etc?

Exited engineer mode again and now I have a good AB line.

 

Not sure what was going on there.

 

Now I have created a "new" site on GalGold and I have not set a password, dialled into the site and it asks for a password. Leave it blank and it sits for a while before saying it cant communicate with remote module.

 

At least I know the module is connected to the panel. Its the PC to RS232 Module thats the problem now
