I have a remote controlled sliding gate on the road side of my driveway. It is a busy narrow road and on a bend so a dangerous spot to wait and reverse onto my drive.
Almost two years ago I fitted a 4 channel 4G remote relay box, a DL4 -WLTE-EC so I can voice activate it from my car when I am two minutes away and the Gate is open when I arrive allowing me to quickly reverse in.
Once on the drive I remotely turn off the alarm before opening the garage door remotely. During the day this is very convenient.
That convenience is reduced after a certain time as my drive alarm beams are automatically made live so I have to be careful how far onto the drive I reverse.
For some time I have been pondering disarming the alarm a few seconds after operating my gate and then soon after opening my garage door. The WLTE seemed ideal for this.
In my mind it was easy. All I had to do was program a zone to be a Keyswitch. Pulsing the WLTE relays is adjustable for time as well as momentary or latching.
I mistakenly thought a keyswitch would work just like a magnetic door sensor and just use the two zone contacts.
Today I realised that is not the case because no matter what I did I could not get it to work. My simpleton idea was that a four wire device was just a pair of contacts and a tamper loop. After delving deeper in the manual for the keyswitch the drawings didn't make sense with my understanding of the detection devices. Without the wiring diagram for the panel connections it was hard to understand how one could just connect one contact to one side of the tamper. That is what the drawings seem to be suggesting. Of course I could still be misunderstanding hence this cry for HELP! (Please)
I have attached a drawing that shows a screen of Wintex. I have four areas. A is the drive beams, B is the perimeter, C is internal and D is only used as chime. Although A is timed it is only live if B is live as well. At night when occupied, areas A and B are live. C is only additionally live if the house is unoccupied.
So my questions.
1. Do I have to connect Zone 20 contact to the tamper as in my attached drawing? If not then what am I doing wrong?
2. How long in seconds does it take the alarm to disarm after the keyswitch has operated? The messages from the smartcom seem to come a long time after the switching. I can of course test it when it eventually works
