[Alarm]

Just on a quick look you have a E/E zone as Guard as well.

Can see why Entry 1 and 2 but why GUARD as well. It cannot work.

[Alarm]

Setting seems to be the issue, change to instant for the part group.
Also why is the door isolatable?

Also why is the door isolatable?

Not knowing this panel and its workings/programming and without reading all of this, it sounds to me that the door contact has stuck, (closed).

 

[Alarm]

Just (ish) installed. Could be a stuck contact. I assumed all would be tested.
Same here not my panel of choice, had to read the book of words a few times myself as taz knows.
Adrian is the expert here but as he has not interjected yet we must be on the right track.

 

[Tazer]

Ok guys, when you same it must be stuck or in a closed form....what do I have to do or how do I find out which door contact is in a closed form and how do I take it back to its normal state of play.

I can probably run the walk test software on Richochet to identify the culprit ...... if that allows me.

 

[Alarm]

You should be able to walk test everything anyway.
Make the area/group instant set and see what happens.

 

[Tazer]

Thanks Alarm, will test it out later this afternoon when I get back in.

Appreciate the help.

When connected to the panel, if you click on the diagnostics button you get full status info of every zone. For hard wired zones you get resistances, and a history of best/worst resistances for all the states (alarm/closed/tamper etc). I would assume that the status of Ricochet devices appear there too. IIRC, you can't have the software keypad up at the same time as the diagnostics screen.

 

[Tazer]

yes thats right, the diagnostics screen cannot be run with the keypad on.

I have checked this and it does give me the resistance on the hard wired items.

I have seen the wireless items in there, one thing I did notice was it didnt give me any signal strength on all 4 wirelss items but did give me a reading.

Let me recheck that.

In Wintex under diagnostics for the wireless items should this give me a signal quality reading? At the moment it doest say anything. Also in rchochect Im assuming as all items are GREEN they are talking to one another. Even in there I cannot seem to see any reading

If you see my image in the green box, I cannot see any reading bars

but a picture from Texecoms Website shows a reading of signal strength

Hi All,

Ok Ive now carried out the tests as mentioned earlier

1: change to instant alarm; Got the same problem, when you arm the system for Zone A same problem one continous beep/ noise and nothing happens and the only choice you have is to manually disarm the system

2: Pictures attached for the diagnostics for RF Devices

According to the first picture, you have three contacts and a PIR mapped to zone 1??

Is it only the wireless devices that you have assigned to Area A? (i.e. is it just the wireless devices causing trouble?)

Unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with the Ricochet stuff, otherwise I would have hoped to be able to help you out a lot better on the forum. I'm tempted now to buy the Ricochet starter kit because I'm curious!
