First Alert Alarm


 

Has anyone intigrated a FirstAlert FA-1670C
I currently am having trouble communicating with the alarm panel
The alarm company says it's a re-branded Vista 128bp
All the setup feilds seem to be the same in that alarm setup.
The interface module is a Honeywell 4100SM.
I can see data on the from_device$ in Debugger whenever I open or close a door, but I cannot get the alarm to respond to a Poll or get feedback out of the zone status module.
Thanks Jim A


 

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

The 4100SM is connected to a header on the alarm board not to a zone.

Thats probably your problem, see this document (from Honeywell Tech):


Note the Figure.6 (for the Vista BP series) vs. Figure.7 (for the FBP series). I have had to fix this behind our own techs multiple times (I keep meaning to cut the important sections out of that PDF and put them into my own cheat-sheet to be included with the job-spec...since technicians don't like reading instructions apparently.)
