Texecom PE 64-W Supervision Fault

[secureiam]

minimum 20 minutes, unless yu are using wintex and ricochet monitor in that case you can watch and wait until its complete.

@secureiam I left it on fit for commission mode for at least 20 mins and then I got these results. They are the before and after signal readings.

9 LCDLP-W 34 56
10 Premier Compact PW-W 100 100
11 Micro Contact-W 100 100
12 Premier Compact PW-W 100 100
13 Micro Contact-W 68 74
14 Premier Compact PW-W 100 100
15 Micro Shock-W 52 57
16 Micro Shock-W 74 63
17 Micro Shock-W 68 64
18 Micro Shock-W 56 63
19 Micro Shock-W 54 45
21 Micro Shock-W 21 43
22 Micro Shock-W 48 34
28 Dual Tech DT-W 64 42

Interest reading, some devices have better signal strength whereas others have lost signal strength. Just to check, do I need to tamper all devices while the main panel is in "Fit for commission" mode? Or not? Cause I have not been tampering devices.

Many thanks

if you tamper a device I am told it is aboosted signal, ie if you couldn't see a device in a location a tamper signal may get through but a ormal alarm wouldn't.

so I prefer not to tamper the device.

 

[ukdiynewbie]

That makes sense. So what would you suggest to improve signal strength? Cause at the moment, strengths of 34, 42, 43 and 45 are a little bit worrying.

 

[secureiam]

shouldn't matter if the mesh is okay, I would only be concerned at values below 35 to be honest.

you can put spacers behind devices to see if the signal improves.

 

[ukdiynewbie]

thank you, what kind of spacers are you referring to? Do you have a link?

Hey all, having a very similar problem here with one particular PIR.

The richochet monitor is showing a power fault on it?

Replace battery

 

[secureiam]

New micro deep bases have been released but they are like rocking horse poo at the minute been waiting a week for them, other than that anything that lifts the wireless device away from where it's fixed.

Replace battery

I’ve replaced the battery a few time’s. It never seems to last like the other PIRs

I’m not sure I understand. What benefit will this have for the PIR?

 

[secureiam]

The micro deep bases are not for pirs

 

[secureiam]

If it doesn't last then either many devices are hoping through it or its faulty or something is interfering with the device, swap it with another redo the mesh and see what happens, or follows device or follows location

Got a new PIR, so we’ll see
