Hi there, many thanks for the advice and help offered previously by the community. I have been away via work commitments since then and just getting back to where I left off with my alarm install.
I have in the past couple of days finished all the connections, I did a complete rewire same time as I rewired my flat but only now connected all to panel, set up all the zones and some other settings however I bought a viper and it wont stop flashing - like a dirty old man, it just stands there flashing away shamelessly - I now know however that he positive side connects to aux supply as normal and that the negative connection should be fed from a switched output - swinging to 12v momentarily upon panel reset - thus resetting the viper.
I have never seen anything like it but I do get why - however its the outputs on my panel that I am not so sure about, there are two outputs for one of the on-board rio's (rio 0) and four for the other (rio 1) but what output should I connect the negative supply to? I suppose it might not matter but perhaps I'll wire it to the 'set' terminal and set for 'pulse' and see if it works...but i'd certainly appreciate a wee bit of guidance here all the same, the hall Honeywell dual tech pir is also a pain...but I still have to go through its initialisation properly as yet so see how that goes...
p.s. forgive the edits...nursing a biblical hangover today...
Regards,
Tommy
