Right. I reread a couple of times and o get it now. Bridge the zone terminals, wire the tamper to the tamper terminal that is not 13v when probed against 12v aux. Programme zone to tamper and double pole/eol. All works great. Thanks so much. One follow up - is it right to set the zone as...

Brilliant - I think this is what I am looking for, some follow ups if you dont mind please: 1 - Is it okay to connect both the bells to the aux 0v and 12v on the PSU side or should I connect to the expander aux power? or one of each? 2 - I think i understand about using a zone but to check, I...

Hello all - some questions I have been thinking over I could do with your expertise on please. I have a PSU200XP panel that I would like to connect 2 Odyssey external sounders to. I believe there is enough current supplied from he PSU200XP for them to both be connected as SAB as I only have a...

I get that it’s hard to recommend. I guess the key question is whether the exodus rate of rise detectors are likely to be triggered by normal temp changes in a kitchen, loft or garage or whether the rate needs to be so fast that it will be okay. I know optical are out for these areas but...

Hi all I am adding some Texecom Exodus sensors to my panel. Mostly these will be the OH optical and heat models which look like the best for most domestic rooms. I also want to add some to my kitchen, boiler/plant room, garage, un-boarded loft with blown insulation, a toolshed/workshop and a...

Well massive thanks for all your help and guiding me through the troubleshooting. I have 4 more buildings to add to the system as different areas over the next few weeks so you may well see me popping up desperate for help again in the near future. Thank you

I am shocked - I did a power cycle of the panel, pulled the fuse and the battery and now it works as it should. Just activated the zone when unarmed and the external sounder worked! Cant believe the solution was ultimately to 'turn it off and on again'!! Is a power cycle a common requirement...

Okay. Power cycle I can do. Sorry to sound stupid but how do I default the reporting codes?

Just had a look at the logs which show something interesting. When disarmed the heat sensor activates and shows no area - when armed it does show the correct area and you can see the bell is triggered. See attached. Does this prompt any ideas? This actually seems to be the case for everything...

Okay. Thanks. I have never posted on the Texecom forum. Do you suggest I just start a new thread and describe the issues and what we have explored ? Are they friendly to enthusiastic amateurs over there or will I get abused for not being a pro installer.

yes: siren - stop - siren - stop

not sure - haven't got a sounder on the panel and they are not close by - I have a spare I can hook up though do you think this is the issue? would it explain bell when armed but no bell when not armed? I did set the area for the output. B - see attached

Elite 640 V6.02.02 LS1 All set to area 1B. Screen shots attached if they help. Comms issue solved after "unarmed fire coms" selected for area - so only remaining issue is that external bell does not sound when unarmed and smoke triggers, but they keypad does sound so system knows about it.

Okay. So not working right then. Am I correct setting the expander output to the bell as: Area, Bell SAB. Or should I be using ‘Area, Alarm’.

Just done some more testing. If the intruder alarm is not set and smokes activate, the keypads sound, the external bell does not. If the intruder alarm is armed and the smokes sound - the keypads sound and the external bell DOES. So do we only expect the external sounder to go off when smoke is...
