Re: First Alert Alarm

 

Do you have the 4100SM connected to zone 9 of the security panel?

Re: Free Terminal Program - Update

 

What type of USB to Serial adapter are you using? I have a Belkin and am having the same problem. I bought a different one to try but forgot to bring it to work today.

Can't wait for this glitch to get worked out, since the program is great otherwise.

Re: Issue Touch Tone (DTMF) via control system

I couldn't find a commercial product, but the webatron is filled with circuits to build your own, here is one example: <>

The gate seems to be sensing the touch tone from the phone system to determine its behavior. The problem is, if the gate is open indefinitely or for a 30 min stretch, my little momentary contact closure from the control system won't close the gate.

Re: Crestron Mobile Pro G - Designing in Landscape

I have a job here that has a vast amount of iPads (around 30) but the caveat to it is a majority of them will be wall mounted. This means they need to be designed in landscape format.

Now I've already long ago given up on designing a layout that can be both portrait and landscape friendly opting for mostly portrait designs as they are native to VTPro. The problem I am having is designing this particular job solely in landscape format. I am locking the panels in landscape mode, but I am running into issues in the design of not knowing how to scale my images since we can't discretely build in landscape format in VTPro.

I've been wracking my brain today trying to figure out how to do this but can't come up with any good solutions other than to just create a button, load it, and see how it looks. I am using blueprints as well, but they just don't turn out correctly since I can't run them at the desired ratios.

Does anyone have any tips/pointers for designs they have done in landscape mode? Anything helps at this point.

Either you have a really old CEN-IDOV or the problem has crept up again.

Nonetheless you have a bad piece of hardware and it needs to be replaced. Swapping out POE injectors will not fix the problem.

Re: Storing history of analog values

Jeremy Weatherford
 

Quick and dirty SIMPL solution is to use an ABUF to make a sort of
delay line, and send a WPULSE (single logic wave pulse) to the enable
to shift everything by one:

Value -> Value1
Value1 -> Value2
Value2 -> Value3
Value3 -> Value4

etc. Value1 will be the most recent saved, Value4 will be the oldest.
Use an ARAM if it needs to survive program reboots.

Re: Issue Touch Tone (DTMF) via control system

 

We've stopped using the latch function in call boxes.

Usually, callboxes have 2 relays. We program most user codes for relay 1 (momentary, wired directly to gate), and others for relay 2 (also momentary, wired to our control system).

The pulse from the callbox into the control system will trigger a TOGGLE to hold the gate open. (This requires at least a 2-pair wire to and from the callbox.) This also replicates the original callbox operation - enter the "hold open" code to open & hold the gate, enter it again to release. We also have the same control from the touchpanels and iPhone interfaces.
