I think I'll draw stumps - at least for the time being. I can't see anything wrong with my wiring or settings so it's probably best to leave it a while and come back to it with a fresh pair of eyes in a few weeks. At which point I hope it'll dawn on me where I have gone wrong. I can live without...

Well I must admit that I'm getting pretty stumped now. To enable the system to work with a default config I ended up linking-out a couple of zones and moving the zone wiring of one PIR. I then tested a Part-Set exactly as I had been doing before - with the same result - both inside sounder &...

Is the intention to check the part-set behaviour with factory defaults? If so, because the default part-set config is quite different to mine, I don't think that's 100% possible without making some (relatively minor) changes to the zone wiring and linking out some of the zones, so it wouldn't be...

Yes

First thing to say is that, because of the control panel location in a spare room, I'm not using the Excel's 16 Ohm built-in speaker and so I have disconnected this completely. I have replaced it with a 16 Ohm extension speaker located near the keypad and connected to the loudspeaker terminals...

Well, I'm still scratching my head on this: as far as I can see, the setting of Misc 01 Option 2 (both 'ON' & 'OFF') makes absolutely no difference to which sounders are activated by a Part-Set alarm. In other words, with this option set to either On or Off, an alarm causes both the Internal and...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, Misc 01 Options 1 - 3 are what I assumed I needed, and from the installation manual it looked to me that the factory defaults (all 'ON') are for Internal Sounder Only operation - so I left them alone. You've got me wondering now though, if they changed the logic for...

Afternoon all, I've recently installed a Veritas Excel control panel and Odyssey X-BE sounder to replace an existing setup. The wiring is original but the PIRs were replaced a couple of years ago. All good apart from the fact that I'm struggling to get a Part Set to work in the way I want. I...

Yes, thanks, that all makes sense. The bit that has been confusing me is at the top of the previous page (8) - the bit that starts "An additional screw may be required...". I wasn't sure whether that was simply referring to the removal-from-tamper or to something else. Anyway, as I said in my...

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean the self tapper on the breakout or the one on the internal lid?

I'm replacing an old external bell box with a Texecom Odyssey X-BE and I was wondering if anyone could clarify the method of tamper adjustment when mounting this unit. As far as I can tell the X-BE has a single microswitch that is operated on the switch body by the head of a self-tapper for the...
