Hi,
I have installed a Flex CP and have tried to start it up to begin programming but came across a problem.
Originally I had a wire from the RS485 to the RF module then a wire from the RF to a KP
I used red for +, black for -, white for A and yellow for B on all connections.
I left the jumper on the panel for the 680ohm and added a 680ohm resistor to the KP across A & B.
I powered up the system and the external sounder was heard for a few seconds then stopped and the KP sounded until a button was pressed.
The display on the KP was all flashing stars, which reading other posts would suggest a bad comms link (A&B)
I removed the KP resistor reset the system and the same happened. removed the jumper on the CP still the same.
So thinking it was a bad wire I moved the KP into the loft on a short cable and removed the RF module connecting the KP direct to the CP.
I still get the same flashing stars when I power up the system no matter what I try with the 680ohm resistors.
I am now totally baffled so any help would be great.
