Here's the pic of the other door (back door) contact. The front silver screw (a little out of focus) holds both the 2k2 and 4k7 resistor. The 4k7 then goes to the other silver screw (congaing the blue wire) whilst the other end of the 2k2 resistor goes to one of the brass screws (containing...

Ok - when both resistors are out, I do indeed get 000k on closed and >65k when the door is open. This is show on the RKP. For some reason, Wintex shows this as 000k when closed but 100k when open (and reverts back to 000k when closed) - minor discrepancy?

Bit of better pic of that door contact (I'd since replaced the blue and yellow with green and black but exactly the same set up). Just about to try the contact without any resistors in (cores in a silver screw each). Can there be that much that goes wrong with these contacts? Bit of...

Cheers secureiam. I have my meter working now, but I'll try taking the 2k2 resistor out and reporting the results back. Then I'll try the multi-meter on the contact? Hoping it's a faulty contact and that I can pick one up locally (rather than ordering and waiting a few days). Bit of a bug...

Ok - back. Magnet taken off and placed directly on contact makes no difference (tried magnet on back door contact and it works fine there). I've taken the 4k7 alarm resistor out..wasn't sure where to place the alarm wire that was in with it? Should I place it with the 2k2 silver screw - in...

I'll take the magnet out the frame and press it close up to the contact...contacts are perfectly aligned but possible gap is larger than the back door. Whenni return home I'll take the 4k7 resistor and re try. Many thanks!!

Thanks secureiam. This is becomeng a royal pain in the ****! :? Sound good news (ish) that the cable most likely not broken (biggest fear). As a slight update, there was another 6 core in the RKP (spare). Just on the off chance I'd used the wrong 6 core in the first place (this was...

I think the poster at the top inadvertently posted on the wrong (but similar) thread. Ok - I'll give that a whirl secureiam. Could that possibly reset the resistor alert (so it should read 2k when closed) or do I still need to tackle that? I think you're spot on in that the resistors seems...

Definitely states secure and resistance at 6k. So (somehow) looks like, as you say, I've linked the two resistors together as the EOL resistor. Not sure how - both linked together on one end in a silver screw, then the 4k7 goes to the other silver screw (and green core which goes back to 'T'...

Back on Wintex. All zones now showing as secure, but Zone 9 Front Door (Entry/Exit 1) is showing resistance of 6k still. Noticed in 'Areas' - 'Options' that Tamper reset wasn't set for any area (A or B) - might not be anything worth noting? Would an engineer reset rid the 6k alert or is...

Hi folks - switched the green wire from 1st T to 2nd T (fourth in row of those terminals in Zone 1). 'Zone 9 Front Door' open message has now disappeared. However, in zone check on the RKP (can't use the laptop for wintex at the moment) Zone 9 is now showing secure but has N1, R1, 1 showing...

Gulp...absolutely no idea why I've wired it that way (1st wire in the first A terminal, second wire in the first T terminal - one and three in order. Wow...seriously hope it's just that and not (as I was starting to suspect) a broken link in the newly plastered/decorated six core :shock: ...

Hi again. I'll quickly add the pics as I have to shoot out for a few hours. Also - update: Following the switching over to two different coloured cores, I've also switched out the old resistors for new ones (Black Alarm - Green Tamper - should just be able to make that out in the pic below)...

Hi - I'll respond to your questions shortly desig. Just thought I'd add this update which may or may not be relevant. I've taken the door contact fully out now. Entry Exit Zone is still stating Tamper in Wintex Zone 9 and with the 100k resistance note in Wintex. One the keypad it's now...

Might also bear noting that when this was set up the other evening (with great help from secureiam) I wasn't getting the Zone 9 tamper alert - all alerts where rectified, hence me thinking it might be something I've done since with the programming.

Hi - tried changing to 'always closed' which did remove the Zone 9 Tamper alert, but on changing back (sending back to panel each time) it reverts to Tamper alert. Resistance still showing as 100k in Wintex (and showing Tamper whereas at some stage yesterday it was showing Active (as opposed to...

Yes - I probably wasn't clear in my last post - I've swapped out two cores (blue and yellow - alarm and 'tamper') for black and green and I'm still getting a 'tamper' alert on Wintex and the Keypad. Might I have to reset it and then check again? Something in the programming I can try? Just...

Switched the 'A' in the RPK Zone 1 from yellow to black and 'T' to Green. Switched them over in the Door Contact 'Black' on the 2k2 and Green on the 4K7. 'Tamper' on Zone 9 alert on Keypad/Wintex and showing 100k again!!!??? So that's the blue and yellow wires (possibly damaged) switched...

Yes - very odd. Went back down to 65k last night, but showing as tamper in zone 9 on the keypad menu. I haven't had chance to check yet today, but on Wintex it was initially showing Active on Zone 9 (resistance at 65k). Does indeed look like a wiring issue rather than anything in the...

Hi desig. It's now showing 'tamper' zone 9 (door contact) on both the keypad and wintex diagnostics. It's also showing a resistance of 100k!! Wiring resistors is ok (same as other door contacts and as you've described) but I'm wondering if I've got the wires in the contact the wrong way...
