Hi Folks,
I'm having problems with my vista-10 + 5881L wireless
system since having used *# at powerup to set the installer/master
code.
I have:
vista-10 (sticker says VS10)
6128 Fixed-word console
5881L wireless (as sticker says)
5806 x2 smoke detectors
5849 glass break detectors.
vista-10 programming manual.
I tried to use my master code to enter programming on my vista-10,
but found that didn't do anything. Figuring I'd been *98'ed I used
*+# at powerup to set the master again, and have been using *99 to
leave programming since. When I did this I disconnected both the
AC and the battery: I'm hoping that's not a problem as the manual
says the programming is stored in EEPROM.
When I used *+# I got into a place I wasn't expecting, probably
overwriting a few fields because of the "walk forward" behaviour.
However I managed it, I know I reporgramed or cleared field 21,
because we use the quick arm functionality, and it had stopped
working: I re-enabled that successfully. I think I also stomped
on field 22, and have since set that back to "2" (RF system type
2=5800,5881). Other fields seem intact (like 41, showing the
phone number of the alarm company) But I did notice that all
the user codes were gone. I reentered those.
The Problem:
It seems now that the the panel can't hear the wireless devices.
After 12 hours I get 09 CHECK/ALARM and each of the wireless zones
rotate through the display.
If I put the panel into "tramsmitter sniffer" mode, I see the
wireless zones rotate through, but when I "fault" a wireless
device with the "test" button, it doesn't remove itself from
the display. I hold down the button beyond the delay I would
expect in order to have the alarm sense the fault.
Help!?
Is there something else I need to do besides program field 22 in
order to have the 5881 operate correctly?
For field 22, is the value "2" as per the manual, correct for a 5881L?
What else might I try?
I'm a bit handicapped with the 6128 panel..
Entering #56 and stepping through with # shows the correct zones,
but if I use #56 and, say, 10# for my first wireless zone (or any
zone for that matter) I don't see anything (no rolling display of
the zone information), so it's hard to tell if the zone programming
is intact. I'm expecting to get a 6139, but in the mean time, is
there a way to view the field 56 zone data (or perhaps field 83)
with a 6128 panel to verify the programming?
My wife's already after me. Grrr.
She says: "what's that saying you taught me, 'if it ain't broke...'"
Thanks for any help.
