Ok so got the Ricochet monitor working, in the end I reinstalled wintex and hey presto it's working 8) So I have another question - I have setup a part set which arms downstairs and the garage but leaves upstairs unarmed. I tried it earlier and it worked fine, my wife then went upstairs...

Thanks again guys 8) John

Thanks for the replies guys but I got it working soon after posting and placed an edit at the foot of the message soon after to say so. You know what sparky, I clean forgot about the 2 zones on the keypad :oops: Thanks for reminding me. They were wired back to the last panel so I did the...

Can someone tell me if 2 of these can be wired together eol? I know I should wire them on different zones but I only have one wired zone free and would rather have both in operation. one is downstairs and the other on the upstairs landing.p I put the resistors in the furthest away detector...

Hi Sparky, yes they were mapped to zones. I wasn't sure what you ment at 1st but because the devices are learnt through the Zones menu on the V2 I'm sure they are mapped during this process, and I set the attributes. Anyway, this evening when I went back to work on it, I found that I wasn't...

I think I'm missing something. I have the devices learnt and all on Area A. My two remote keys are learnt and are arming/unarming the system but none of my Pirs or door contacts seem to be awake. Any idea what i have missed? I don't have any wireless devices showing in Ricochet diagnostics in...

There is light at the end of the tunnel :lol: I've learned 6 out of my 7 devices but one PIR refuses to be found, tried another battery even though it lights up ok but no change so I'll see about getting that one replaced. Now I'll sit down and look at the programming...too late and cold...

Ok for anyone interested, I've had a reply from Texecom on the EXP 1,1 Tamper. This relates to the Commissioning jumper on the board and is normal while in this mode. Would be nice if it was mentioned though, but I suppose the pro installers would be aware of this. The issue relating to not...

Just a thought while I wait for Texecom to get back to me , on my old Veritas system I used to use the Bell Hold Off mode anytime I needed to work on the system or even just change the battery but I see no mention of it in the manuals. Is it not supported on the Ricochet systems? John

No sparky, didn't alter anything. Obviously looked at them for some clues but setup as per default. Will go and look at that link now. On a positive note it accepted a wired pir no problem. John Edit... sorry sparky your link..errr isn't one :wink: i'll see if I can find it though...

I can get into adding devices and follow the countdown from 20 but no devices are found. i have tried it with 4 different devices, didn't see the point in trying the other 3 :lol: Holding down the button whilst applying power to the device and waiting for it to be found :| Going to...

I've sent off an e-mail to support to see if they can shed any light. I've also registered on their forum but waiting to be authorised before I can post.

Thanks M8, not got a clue now. I think I got to clear the fault on EXP 1,1 before it will let me learn devices too. John

I've removed the jumper from the lid tamper, replaced the lid making sure I heard the tamper click as it closed and I still get EXP 1,1 tamper. Going to check everything again. John

Thanks Sparky, all ok except the EXP 1,1 Tamper. I have a jumper link on the panels tamper pins, earlier I had a bit tape on the switch to keep it closed but still got the error. John

Just having a look through wintex and notice it says "Expander Box Tamper Open" but unless it is refering to something else, I don't have an expander added. Also says supply voltage 21.50v - did I not read somewhere on this forum about an unusually high voltage and that wintex software is out...

Hi Sparky, got Wintex installed and I'm connected to the panel...What should I be looking for apart from the red buttons showing me in alarm :lol: John

Hi Sparky Yes sorry it is the 48 W plastic. I linked out Bell tamper, Aux Tamper and the panel tamper before turning on power and doing default startup. Those errors appear when panel boots up and I can silence them with default eng code 1234 but can't seem to go any further to get into...

Hi Guys, looking for some assistance...this one is very different from my old veritas system I just removed :( So I've wired in my kepad and bellbox...wanted to install the wireless detectors only this weekend and then move on to any hardwired devices like my smoke detectors and some...

Started to remove the old system this evening and will start the install of the Ricochet system tomorrow. I was reading through some of the manuals and the kepad manual says a Tag must be held over the Prox symbol. Surely this is just for those using Tags and I don't need a Tag to get the...
