I have posted earlier on the hardware side and think that all that is sorted (maybe not). Just to set the scene, 5 six wire PIRs, one magnetic sensor for garage and a smoke alarm. Keypad, four wires straight into the terminals on the board, external sounder 5 wires straight into the terminals on the board. PIRs and smoke alarm, two wires for power into the aux 12v, two alarm wires from each into respective zones 1-6 and the tamper wires, in series between the PIRs and the mag sensor forming a loop from and to the aux/fault terminals. I have set the battery charge jumpers to 300mv position as recommended for 7Ah battery. All bought as a package.
Now the problems! Loaded factory defaults whilst depressing battery kick start, seemed to load, alarm went off, silenced with 1234 engineer code. But keypad is just stuck with 'system alerts'. I can't get it to do anything. I am sure some of the list of errors can be lost if I can just set up the zones but for the life of me I can't get to the menus! Sound so easy engineer code and press yes! Sorry, starting to rant. Here are some of the error messages: panel lid tamper (so the lid is off, this will go when it is closed); confirm devices (I wish I could but can't get to the menu); battery fault (can't see why, all wires are fine); PS failure (power supply? - well the transformer is warm so power from mains is getting through!); AreaA needs reset - probably! ; zone 1-8 tamper (I think this is because I am using normally closed six wire and need to set up the zones to lose the error); alarm zones 1-8 active (I think this is true when family walks in front if the PIRs as the errors are not always for all PIRs); finally, occasionally this appears - power o/p fault 12v. One last thing, the network LEDs red solid on, green flashing.
I am losing the will to live and have no hair left! I can't see why the wiring is wrong and can't get into the system to set it up. I have read some excellent stuff on the forum, I hope someone can point out where I am going wrong!![/b]
