I have a Texecom R8 panel with a few Vipers (GLX).
Originally the Vipers where wired in series using 6 core on one zone with double knock enabled and the LED enabled. All worked well.
I decided I wanted to wired them using 8 core to enable the remote LED control.
Wired them exactly the same but using the SW+ from the panel to the SET on the Wiper. Wired with Alarm and Power (& Tamper) setting both DIL switches to ON - the LED flashes fine and goes off when triggered. Switch 1 obviously does the Double Knock.
Also the wipers are wired together using 1 core between their FTA contacts. The last Viper has a resistor going across +12v and FTA as per the instructions.
Just for testing purposes I plugged the SET core into the +12v at the panel rather than fart about with SW+. Checked at the Vipers -
- between 0 & 12v the reading is 13v
- between 0 and SET is 13v
- continuity exists between both ALARMs until triggered.
At this point I expect the LED to flash and remain flashing, but it doesn't.
Any ideas.
Cheers.
