Hi guys,
I have posted this on someone else's thread (sorry).
I have just wired my first TExecom system. I have two RKPs, 8XP-W, onboard 8XE, 9 wired motions, 1 wired contact, 3 wireless motions and 1 wireless contact. 1 beam detector and 2 smoke alarms. I have a few problems. Using Wintex to program everything.
My problems are:
1) Only one RKP detected (address 1 working) the other on address 2 not being detected.
2) Cant get the 8XP-W (on address 3) detected by main control panel, yet Ricochet monitor shows the 4 wireless devices connected to expander
3) I cannot get the damn thing to arm - system says 'Preparing to Arm' and just stays there even when I omit all the zones except for one upstairs zone. Also tried arm with faults and just stays on preparing to arm. Please help!!! I am lost.
So I have been told (by secureiAm) to put 8XP-W on address 2 as the onboard 8XE is taking address 1. So setting 8XP-W on address 3 not ok then? Is there a special way to get the wireless expander to be noticed by system? I am doing confirm devices but does not appear.
OK, should the 2nd RKP be set to address 2? Manual does say an expander and RKP can be on same address on same network.
kind regards,
Abu
