What is "bells rearm" ?

[Guest Guest]

With the current DD243/EN50131 panel software, with the alarm confirmation settings, system rearm does not operate. switch option 33(confirmation) to off and option 32 to off.

The system will function as you want.

Also you have the bell duration programmed for only 1 minute, also have you wired the strobe into its only terminal or through the sounder output( do a sounder/strobe test to confirm correct operation. Change the timing to 018.

Do me a favour and just try it with the reset attribute REMOVED from the zone attributes and give it another go.

Colin, I thought these flags only cover the actuall signalling to the digi outputs??? - not the actual operation of the local re-arming of the alarm???

They also affect the logic and operation of the controls.

Dont post trade information from coopers secure area in the public forums, it only causes problems for the site.

Yep - with option 4 I can see what you mean

Colin - 32 was off already (default), 33 was on so I switched it off. Same symptoms - door triggers just once, and is "ignored" thereafter. Sounder duration is set to "1 minute" just for debugging purposes

The bellbox is a diamond-shaped Texecom unit (I'm afraid I have forgotten what model it is) and is wired as follows:

Bellbox // Panel

S (STB -ve) // STB -ve

D (0v) // H/O -ve

C (Tamper) // TR -ve

B (Bell -ve) // TRG -ve

A (+12v) // H/O +ve

Dave: tried with and without the "reset" attribute - same symptoms. Also tried with and without the "A" attribute on the door - same symptoms.

Thanks, lads

if you are activating it, then opening the door and then trying the same one and it doesn't work, then its operating correctly.

The system rearms omitting the cause of the first activation and depending the number of rearms you have programmed will do it that many times.

No, originally I had two "final exits" set up - ie. front door and back door. If the front door was the first to trigger, I found that I could open the back door (ie. any other "final exit") and not trigger the system.

The other half of the problem is that the external bells only sound for the first trigger. For those thereafter, only the internal bells sound.

Eg. I could smack a window and set off the alarm, then come back when the bells stop and batter the window or a door in without the alarm going off after that :-O

It only omits the cause of the first activation if that cause is still in alarm OR the number of re-arms for that zone has exceeded that set. - If it is non-signalling and it doesnt re-arm then its pretty useless as an alarm unless you had signalling - I know he has a dialler but you know what im getting at colin.
