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 want it to only activate an internal sounder on the part-set alarm, rather than the external sounder (this is the default setting in the panel configuration). The internal sounder is a 16 Ohm speaker connected to the L/S terminals in the control panel. Unfortunately, when a part-set alarm is triggered (by waiting for the Entry mode to time out without unsetting the system) both the internal and external sounders activate. The good folk at Texecom have suggested that the Odyssey sounder might be self-activating on a voltage drop but, having made some measurements and done a few quick calculations, I'm not convinced of that. The control panel log just shows a single alarm event, so no tampers or repeat alarms.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also, is anyone using part-set on internal sounders without seeing this problem? I'm fairly sure it's my mistake somewhere but, at the moment, I can't see where.
Thanks
