Texecom veritas alarm

[Ben]

Hi
I’ve recently installed a texecom veritus excel alarm system but having an issue with the sounder not going off when triggered by the pir
I’ve only got one pir wired in to the control panel and the other 7 zones are linked through.
When I try and do a walk through test the pir isn’t being picked up, however when I do a full set on the alarm, when I walk in it’s flashing blue green and purple like it is detecting movement however it’s not triggering the outside sounder.
I’ve checked the wiring in the pir and it all seems good, the tamper is sounding when I take the cover off.
Not sure if it’s a programming problem or a issue in the control panel that's not making the pir trigger the sounder
I’ve tested the sounder through the keypad and it works
It’s a d20 texecom pir if that helps
Thanks in advance

Link out all the zones and the tamper for cover..
Arm alarm and then remove a zone link, see if it activates.

Thanks for replying
So would I link out all the zones in the control panel? What would I do with the pir connections that are in zone 1 now?
Thanks

Disconnect the pir.

Disconnect the pir.

When I linked the zones out set the alarm and disconnected a zone the sounder went off so I’m guessing it’s something to do with the pir not triggering?

Is pir connected as EOL, with terminal A and D to zone terminals on panel and 12v to aux? Is 2k2 and 4k7 selected correctly at the pir? Did you try different zone on the panel?

Hi thanks for replying
No I had
+ and - to aux
A and b to zone 1
C and d as tampers

I haven’t changed any setting in the pir from out the box and only tried it in zone 1
Thanks

Try with A and D to zone terminal and leave 12v to aux (so only 4 wires connected) and check on pir if 2k2 and 4k7 is selected. This is known as end of line. Test the system. I assume you have programmed the zone as Guard?

Would I need a resistor for this? I’ve looked it up and may be able to change the setting on the pir to o/c. The zone is entry exit as I’ve only got one pir

Resistors are built in in the texecom pir and values can be selected to suit different panels. For texecom is 2k2 and 4k7
For testing purpose set the pir to guard and do all the tests. When confirmed that all is OK change to whatever you need to be

I’ve tried wiring like this but when I do a walk test it won’t pick up the pir as zone 1, I’ve linked across the tamper in the control panel and only connected to the zones and + and -

So you have connected as per pic and reinsert link to tamper terminals at the panel and it behave same as with your original connection?

Yes I wired it like that and linked between pir tamper terminals on panel and it’s still not picking up when set, it’s like it recognises the movement as the light comes on the pir but it’s not setting the alarm off, I suppose it could be a damaged wire but there’s power to the pir

Forgot to say earlier but EOL values will need to be programm.
Also before you do that it may be worth to restore factory defaults, incase you have change something else accidentally.

Thanks very much, I’ve just had a search into it and by the looks of it you can’t programme the value of the eol resistors into the lcd keypad I’ve got, so I may need to go back and try the original tamper wiring, would you know which setting this is on the back of the pir by any chance? I can then wire it in not using eol and hopefully this will work

Use o/c values for that as it will be simple open/close

Thanks for the help, I will wire it back up normally, is there anything in the keypad that I need to programme? Hopefully that will solve the problem
