Okay, so after some quick tests this morning the following results were noted: The cable is causing the poor keypad communications to the upstairs keypad, as when connecting the same keypad using a fly lead, 100% communications were observed, even with the keypad being on line 2, which might have issues. Are there any issues I should immediately look at before replacing the cable? It's shielded Belden as was recommended. The keyprox does function correctly when attached to line 3 as opposed to line 2 so it seems that the keyprox is not directly at fault? Therefore, line 2 on the Galaxy has some issue where it cannot accept a keyprox but can accept a keypad? Has anyone seen any issue like this before or has any suggestions on cause/things to try and fix? Seems like the Dimension is at fault but these are usually robust panels. Thanks for the help guys Edited April 17, 2020 by jackaddressable Quote

At the end of the day, its not really a problem at all because there's unused lines on the panel and line 2 seems to support normal keypads, the system is for personal reassurance rather than being monitored or on the insurance, but it is slightly annoying. guess that teaches me. thanks for the help and if anyone has any other ideas or solutions or experience, please let me know Quote
