Texecom Premier Install Trouble!

[BveshPatel]

Hi All,

 

So I have just installed a Texecom Premier 24 panel and have a few problems that I couldn't find any info from in the manual so thought I would come and ask you nice people 

 

The setup is as follows

 

Texecom Premier 24, 8 Zone

Texecom Speech and Text Communicator

Texecom LCDL Keypad with Prox

Texecom Premier Odyssey 3E Bell Box x2

Texecom Premier Elite Compact PIR x5

Texecom Impaq Plus with Magnetic Contact x2.

 

The Pir have all been set up with Double Pole/EOL with the jumpers set to 4k7 for Alarm and 2k2 for Tamper Aux-  and Aux +

The Impaq Plus's have been wired as, 4k7 reed to reed, 2k2 tamper to alarm, 4k7 alarm to alarm, a link between reed and alarm, Aux - and Aux +

The Communicator has been wired as Bell Trigger (panel) to Trigger input 3 (communicator) Aux - and Aux +

 

Factory Defaults were loaded upon start

 

Zones have been programmed as follows:

Zone 1 Front Door (Entry Exit) 

Zone 2 Hallway (Guard Access)

Zone 3 Front Room (Guard)

Zone 4 Dinning Area (Guard)

Zone 5 Back Door (Entry Exit)

Zone 6 First Floor (Guard)

Zone 7 Second Floor (Guard)

Zone 8 Not Used

 

I have left the attributes as default

 

My Issues are as follows

Doors are not chiming (have set up to chine in control panel)

Door Resistance value doesn't change when door is opened.

No Entry time is started when front door is opened.

System doesn't arm fully or part.

 

Each time I try to arm the system I get a message saying Zone Activity even though there is none

 

Also need clarification on how to set up part set for night time setting. (which menu)

 

If I have missed any other info needed then do not hesitate to ask

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Bhav

1. Are you a DIY Installer?

2. Do you have Wintex and a Serial Cable or are you using the RKP to Program?

3. Have you checked the Door Contact Wiring and ensured the EOL Resistor are correctly connected or used a contact with EOL Risistor built in.

4. Have you check the alignment of the contact and magnet.

All your problems will be solved when you get your front door contact to work. your impaqs will need to get the magnet in the right place near the top.

[QSXS]

AS per Simlec and my point 4.

I would also propose you wire the shock and Reed in different zones.

[WDT]

I would say its the way you have wired the door contacts as you have the reed output ( Door Magnet ) tamper output ( case removed ) and also a vibration output.

 

If you put the 4k7 resistor in the contact conections and the 2k2 resistor from the contact connection to a tamper connection

Then connect the zone wires, one in the "spare" tamper connection and one in the contact connection with only one resistor leg in. this will make the door contact work but not the vibration.

 

I am not a site expert or any kind off expert but I would put the vibration on another zone

 

Now if you are going to go with vibration on the same zone

 

Ok so lets say put a zone wire into top connection reed switch with a resistor 4k7 between both reed switch connections, then a link wire to the bottom alarm wire with a 4k7 resistor between both alarm connections, then the 2k2 resistor between the alarm ( not the one with the wire link in the one with) and the bottom tamper connection and the other tamper connection to the other zone connection.

 

Also the cover will need to be on when you test it

Thanks for the replies so far,

 

1. Training to be a Installtion Engineer, First solo project on my own

2. Using the RKP to Program?

3. Used wiring given in another forum as there was limited instructions provided with contacts.

4. Have you check the alignment of the contact and magnet. - How do you confirm this? Also could this arise from the contacts being too far apart?

Would it matter if the front door has a steel panel beneath a textured finish?

[WDT]

Also thinking what zone resistance are you getting this would help the experts,

it might even help me

The magnet/reed could be tested with a multimeter on ohms check what readings you get with the door open at the contact then shut the door and recheck with no resistors fitted in will be out of range with the door open and 0.00 ohms with the door shut

On the panel it shows secure 2k2, when I open the door nothing changes.

 

on another note the Pir shows 4k8 when there is activity, I don't believe this is normal? There are six terminals in the PIR and I have used 1 for tamper, 1 for alarm -Aux and + aux for power and the jumpers for the resistor values, Should the wires go in any particular terminal for alarm and tamper ?

[WDT]

They do need to go in the correct ones and you are right it is one in each which pirs do you have??

[WDT]

Ok as for the magnet if it reads 2k2 secure then this is only seeing the tamper resistor and not the reed one.

 

I would first check the reed works with a multimeter on the reed contacts and then open the door and recheck the resistance with no resistor fitted it will be out range (door Open) and 0.00 ( door closed)

If you leave the resistor in it will be 0.0 door closed and 4700 ohms (door open)

 

Hope this helps
