Does the "B" on the extended fault display mean it is the Bell box or does it stand for something else.? When you say "Clear the tampers with links", do you mean disconnect the sensors and fit plain links across each zone or have I misunderstood. At the moment I have 10k resistor across...

At present I have gone back to basics to try and clear up a Tamp indication on the Panel. Only one Ody 1 is connected - exactly as shown in manual - no connections to Msw1 or Msw2 at Bell box (it has 2 internal tamp switches). The Tamp link is fitted on the control panel. I´ve Rebooted and...

For the Main Panel controlliing the pair of SAB and SCB boxes I have followed the instruction at 1.5 page 5 of the Ody installation manual, which gives the impression that multiple units are not a problem as long as they are in SCB mode. I am not quite sure what you mean by "remove one tamper...

All boxes are Ody 1 or 1E using cable colours to ABCDS as shown. I am using 8 core cable and utilising the spare orange and brown for the MSW2 to MSW1 chain method they show, they all meet at the control panel and then form a series circuit on a connecting block for connection to the 2...

A series tamper circuit with the tamp switch from the Aux power supply and the 5 Alarm sounder boxes, 2powered from main panel SAB + SCB and 3 from Aux power supply.

With EOL resistors on the sensors. When the global tamp circuit is used I assume it can be used seperately WITHOUT resistors, is this assumption correct. The manual treats both EOL and Global seperately and doesn´t actually say if both can be used on the same installation.

Can you confirm whether the EOL technonolgy (10k ohm and 22k ohm resistors - fig 3d page 13 manual) used for PIRs to the Zones on this panel, will also allow for the Global Tamper system to be used seperately for the tamp circuit of the alarm boxes using series wiring of the tamper loop. Thanks

Hi Alarm Don´t worry about the "Harsh ???", I accept it. I know Alarms can be much more complex than the 16Cam CCTV with 400mtrs RG59 and Avermedia DVR that I have been installing while trunking for the alarm sys. It all commissioned without a hitch thankfully. (Just saying so you have...

Hi Alarm I´ve powered up and all seemed to be going fine, but after doing the setting up of programs. When I exited the programming mode by pressing "reset" the alarm sounded and I was left with a "T" tamper fault on the alarm keypad display and the alarm sounded even though I set the soak...

Hi Alarm Thanks for that. Wish they wouldn´t use jargon for us novices.!!! Couldn´t get to a Maplin nearby for the relay but found an identical one from the electrical wholesaler. its a super little unit for the money. After swotting up the manual I´ve been drawing up a list of minimum...

Page 31 Can you please explain PROGRAMME SYSTEM TIMERS - in the left hand column "NOTE" section the paragraph that says :- "The L/M input should be connected to 0V (AUX-) if not required, otherwise Bell Delay will not operate." Q What does L/M refer to please. What needs to be...

Hi Alarm Sorry if I woke you up!! Without the relay:- I don´t know what current the main panel can deliver from the "B" -ve Bell terminal and the "S" -ve Strobe terminal and whether the total of 5 boxes would be excessive because I don´t know the load the box calls for to operate these...

Sorry, in my last but one post I said there were TWO pairs of Tamp terminals on the Panel, in fact there is only ONE pair, which next to the Aux + - terminals. In view of this am I right in assuming that ALL the bell box series tamp connections plus the PSU lid tamp will start and end here...

Thanks Alarm Your word is good enough for me. Can you advise on the Commissioning (Initial Power Up) please. The manual makes no reference to say at what point to connect a PSU battery. With the final circuitry we have agreed does this affect the Hold Off comments/procedure explained...

Thanks Alarm The Panel I have has one pair of Tamp connections in the SAB block and another pair next to the Aux + - connections. Would it be correct/OK then to use the Two Main Ody1 boxes to the SAB tamp pair (one in SAB and one in SCB) tamper circuits in series (MSW1 to MSW2 to MSW1 to...
