Zone trouble signal wrongly reported as tripped - FIRE ALARM
Posted: Thu May 21, 2020 4:20 am
Hello,
I’ve completed my install of my newly received AD2USB, works great apart for one issue that is generating wrong general alarm message.
The situation is:
- Like many people IRL I remove my RF smoke sensors when I am home: When I cook 1 out of 10 times they get triggered for nothing and in my area you can’t cancel the reporting of a fire alarm to the local FD! Resulting in an ever increasing “intervention fee” - right now it’s $1,000 out of my pocket if they are bothered for nothing!!!
- So I have my sensors physically removed and inactivated - but not removed from programming so that I can just replace them in, reset the system and they are full operational
- The panel reports “Trouble” signal for the missing sensors - but not tripped
- However the AlarmDecoder app returns every 10s the following series of messages:
Fire status has changed to False
Fire status has changed to True
[...]
... Which just bogs down any application connected to the system thinking there is a FIRE and then not...
I am happy to share my logs if needed!!!
