Er, of course...changing the tamper wires does make a difference! :oops: If the wiring and resistors are fine (I could try new ones, probably tomorrow now) what else could this be? Constantly shown as active and with a 65k resistance. Cheers.

keypad 1 is indeed set up to zone 9. Yes that's the one. I've just taken the contact off and all seems ok - but I've re done the wiring and resistors look fine. Would having the colours the wrong way round in the Keypad zone make any difference? otherwise I cannot see why there is a...

Hi there - all understood. Yes - aware of omittable and omit differences (had a play around with them during a couple of tests). Will need to check zone status in engineer code (code twice, but then which option for zone check - key down till I see option?). Unfortunately if there is an...

Many thanks Desig - and cheers for that link. To be honest, I'd thought merely by wiring up the Odyssey (around a year a go!) that would be the end of it until the alarm went live (at least taking the bell and power wires out whilst it was all being tested). I had to borrow a ladder off a...

Cheers for all that help secureiam - very much appreciated. Just to update thread, the French door contact was wired incorrectly - now rectified. With the help of secureiam, the system is pretty much programmed and good to go. I'll need a bit of advice re the Odyssey 3 bellbox - possibly...

Just before I go any further, here's a pic of the french door contact (the white block type): This is the only zone showing an issue when the alarm is turned on (having not yet programmed it): "Zone 5 tamper" Checked wiring at the panel and all seems ok so perhaps an issue with the way...

Might have been my messages options (friends only) - changed that and hopefully you'll receive the PM! Cheers.

Couldn't find the send message form - presume you now have to 'add friends' before I can do that (request sent)? :?

Hi - I'll drop you a PM....

Definitely using Wintex! I ploughed through the manual the other night, but it seems a large proportion of it was dedicated to modem install/programming. I don't really want to look into that until a much later date. I'd already connected up so I'm half way there I suppose. The keypad...

Ahh of course. I was thinking that as they were in 'physically' different zones (A downstairs, B upstairs) they would have to be programmed as different zones, but rightly so they can be on the same zone. Didn't use latch as initially advised, so I'll just follow your new method - set both...

Ok - not quite sure why I didn't go ahead and wire up with resistors/tampers in the first place - is it preferable to wire the smokes up this way? I have a load of 4k7 and 2k2 resistors (had to finish wiring door contacts with them a week or so back). As for zones, I presume Zone A would be...

Agree - it is getting a little confusing (certainly if you're helping out answering differing queries on the same system). Perhaps a mod can split the thread and the last couple of pages relating to the modem issues can have a separate post? I'm happy for all the input on this thread (as I'll...

Cheers - aye, please keep an eye out on this thread as my attempts to program the system don't go as smoothly as planned :) Cheers.

Many thanks - I'll take my time and give it a good shot. I'm probably making up problems before I have any, although the last few posts on here suggest it won't be an easy ride programming it! I'll leave the modem/networking stuff for another time, but I'll probably find it a good idea sooner...

Hey folks. My USB adaptor turned up a few days ago (we've been away from home). Quick check connecting it to the PC COM cable then into the USB of the laptop (driver install) and all seems ok with it. Paid about the same as I would've done if I'd just purchased the USB Texecom cable in the...

Cheers folks. Think I might take a punt on the cheapy USB and see what happens, otherwise I'll have to pay to return the pc-com cable then pay another £15 for the USB version (I still may contain and up doing that). Many thanks for the advice...took my eye off the ball when ordering this...

[/url] I saw something similar (perhaps the same post) a short while ago and I'd normally give something like that a go (love hacks!) but I have time constraints and more concerned about getting the programming or the panel right. There were a few discussions suggesting that cable (as...

Thanks galaxyguy - not sure if you referring to the pic I posted (which is the adaptor), but just in case here's the cable I've got: Aye - the port on the laptop is the 15 pin female VGA I would connect to an external moinitor and the connector on the texecom is 9 pin female. So would...

Hi folks. Just a quicky hopefully. I've ordered a Texecom RS232 PC-COM cable to link my laptop (running Wintex) to my Texecom Premier Elite 24 panel (I have a bit of a mammoth thread on that subject). This cable has a 9 pin female end (the laptop end) but the port on the laptop (in fact...
