Bought a exodus oh/4w smoke detector to link to a Texecom Veritas excel

 

Connected as follows but getting no audible sounder just led's lighting on test

 

Panel zone 3

Panel zone 3

c- No connection

D-0v on panel

E-12 v panel

F-latch input on panel +sw

 

any ideas as i have tryed all that i can think of

even programed remote keypad to identify fire instead of guard .

 

cheers jock

when you say you have wired to zone 3 do you mean you have connected A & B to zone 3?

 

you will need to program the zone. The only things i can suggest is test the relay on the detector with a meter.

Also your panel isnt in EOL configuration is it?

How are you testing it?

and where are you expecting the sound to come from, ie of the panel is programmed for double pole and correctly set up, disconnecting A or B should result in an alarm at the panel.

all sorted now i programed zone 3 as fire zone but while setting up other things made a mistake and reset panel to default when i got back from work rechecked and ( found my error of my ways ) well my post may help others from this mistake

 

good piece of kit though was thinking of installing a 240 v mains with battery backup but after installing this one will prob install another one in upstairs hallway and link them .

 

can defo recommend installing smoke detectors to alarm panels for 3 reasons

1. cost half as much as main powred systems

2. the one i got is smoke and heat detector best of both worlds

3 . no batteries to change every 12 months

Id agree with you.

Might want to look at the M12 unit as that is programmable for fixed heat/rate of rise heat/smoke and/or any combination so covers most installs.

 

Glad your sorted.
