Texecom Premier Elite fault light, no power to key pad

[merrk]

As seen in the picture below there is a red fault light on and the rest of the system configured on network 1 has no power. The orange thing furthest to the left (pardon my lack of understanding) is running extremely hot
Help appreciated.

Remove devices ( wires from network 1 ) see if clears , it’s either overloaded or you have a faulty item on the network

am I supposed to power down the alarm while doing so? And if so how?

 

[sparkymarka]

No just remove the wires from the network ..it must be in engineer mode as you are showing a picture with the lid off , I take it you have another keypad on the other network
I guess it’s a 640 panel from the picture

I have a laptop plugged directly in to it. And am using the wintex virtual keypad. For engineer mode do i just have to enter the pin?

What’s on network 1 how many keypad , expanders , powered devices ….eg pirs speakers and bellboxs ( powered from any expander )

 

[merrk]

I disconnected the wires and the fault is off. How should I proceed?

 

[sparkymarka]

Add one set of bus lines at at time ( as you have 3 connected ) will fault if you have a short on one , but it may need all 3 if your overloading it

okay I have disconnected them and re connected them indvidual, all work on their own it's only when three are plugged in that I get the fault light.

What’s on the 3 cables ….as asked before

 

[merrk]

I believe theres 2 keypads and zone expanders 1-4, but ones of those keypads could also be the network, ist hard to tell with the cabling

Engineer utilities > confirm devices > network 1
What is displayed in there?

 

[merrk]

So when I plug in the zone expanders 1-4 and the mystery cable the fault persists. This is the output of the above.

 

[sparkymarka]

So you have 4 zone expanders 32 zones ? How many used and how many have powered devices …what are they ?

 

[sparkymarka]

Or you may have 5 exp and 3 keypads on the mystery cable ….or not
