My supplier now offers to exchange the wrongly sent DO8EZ sensors with DO8M magnetic door sensors. Has anyone experience using these with Galaxy 2-44+? Do these have the same functionality as my DO8EZS, notably tamper function and low battery warning? Would these respect the fixed 20 min comm...

What RF module model do you have? Does it have only one terminal block for the four-wire cable?

No, it should configure automagically upon exiting engineer mode. You seem to have a bus comm problem. Did you triple check the A - B wiring yet? A to A, B to B. Did you install the EOL resistor of 680 Ohm across A and B at the RF portal (assuming it is the last module on the AB line)? Finally...

When you go out of the engineer mode by typing first your code and then use Esc: does it report two modules (assuming you have only connected one keypad and the RP portal) or just one? Make sure to bypass the tamper of the RF portal first or close the lid properly.

No, see if someone else does.

Only one way to find out.

You may want to disconnect the Ethernet module and do power down (disconnect battery first), and do power up and then connect battery. Just to exclude the possibility that the problem sits elsewhere.

The manual indicates you should use "Exit". "Entry" appears to be the recommended setting in combination with a "Push Set" zone, but the text is a bit ambiguous.

My first sensors are all EZS and have no issue with the 20 min limit. On another note, after some more tests today I can now confirm that the EZ door contacts do use the alpha protocol: I moved the jumper in the RF portal away from (V2+alpha1) to activate (alpha1+alpha2) and the EZ contacts...

Thanks for the information. Meanwhile as promised: I have checked the conditions for the RF Check warning running several tests with the sensor closed. It appears that there is communication between the sensor and the RF portal every 62 minutes or so (in all tests definitely just over 60...

Many thanks for your very informative reply! I will run another test on the RF check warning and get back on that. As for the tamper functionality: I did notice a tamper switch on the PCB, that is why I believed it had to be operative. Would you think it is not functional due to software design...

In my experience with G2 panels, once you have reset the engineers code you still need to take out the root cause of the comm fault: your panel will continue to dial out and fail to get a connection which will reactivate the fault. What worked for me is to go to menu option 56.02 (telephone...

Hi all, My supplier sent me DO8EZ magnetic door sensors instead of DO8EZS that I had ordered as expansion for my Galaxy G2-44+ with RF C079-2 portal. It appears that DO8EZS have gone out of stock. I have found documentation that DO8EZ is not compatible with G2-44+ and indeed they were not...
