its a new blue rio i think, not 100% sure now i had fiew here, cant remember which one i picked up. I have spoke to guy from honeywell and he said that there is not been many faults with portals, but i might be unlucky and have faulty one. Supplier have agreed to give me new portal with latest firmware, fingers crossed that that will cure my problems.

I'm not sure what's going on at the moment, but certainly seeing Honeywell systems with some issues.  Perhaps the Honeywell has tighter parameters for RF noise triggering a Jam.  I believe it's a 3 minute period of signal jam that constitutes a jam tamper.  I am not sure what the protocol does underneath that as far as signal levels Etc, but there's no real way of preventing the tamper at the panel side when the RF portal is fitted.

 

If this does have something to do with mobile comm's (speculation at the moment), then it could mean trouble ahead...    I really hope not.

We've had a couple of issues with devices being jammed and it turned out to be ***** duracel batteries with a low O/P!! When batteries changed for GP cells the units performed fine!!

I see a lot of you saying an rf explorer is good to have in our game, is this a good way of testing if the panel range will reach an area and vice versa or not? if i wanted to put a wireless contact on an outbuilding for example and wasn't sure of the range?

Not really, the best tool for a survey is the one provided by the manufacturer themselves, although not sure how many do any more other than scanny.

 

Suppose at worst you could do no more than place a panel demo case (Enforcer for example) vaguely in the final location at the property and take a TX to the furthest point, etc...

 

The explorer IMHO is only of use for troubleshooting after a recurring but intermittent or persistent RF error or alert.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Do like the hkc tester might invest at a later date, shame visonic dont do one. Would have to play around testing visonic equipment against the hkc tester and comparing before using in the field.
