Flex 20 with 2 RF Rio modules

[NPotty]

Hi Gents,

 

i have learned a lot from the forum and want to thank you, but I am also after your help for something I cannot find the answer to.

 

I have a Honeywell Flex 20 and it has 2 RF Portals attached, they are both blinking to indicate that they are communicating with the bus, if I pull the tamper link they both pop up on the keypad with their correct addresses. However, I am only seeing the range of addresses for 1 of the portals when I try to connect wireless devices... any ideas?

 

Thank you in advance.

20zones 

 

How many zones on the board? You can't have more than 20

I have nothing wired on the board, I only use the RF portals. The unused hardwired are set to spare, do I need to turn these off completely?

 

Thanks,

Hi, sorry, on holiday...

 

OP, you just need to configure the 12 onboard zones as RF devices. One of the RF portals will have one virtual RIO enabled (8 zones) and this lets the panel use all 20 zones. The galaxy then uses agile routing to determine which portal has the best signal for the RF devices. You can also override this and fix a device to use a specific portal.

 

See my previous last post in this thread where the installer had a hard wired RIO too. This allowed any mix of hard wired or RF across all 20 zones.

Hi @GalaxyGuy,

 

Thanks for replying even when you are on holiday - your help is appreciated!

 

I did come across this post, but I didn't understand how it translated to two RF Portals. Do I now just go to 52.1 and select a hardwired address and then select RF options within that address, then pair the device to that? If I do this, do I need to override the tamper for that hardwired channel then?

 

Thanks,
