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...

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...
