Overview: Firmware revision 2.20 and higher limit errors when keypad programming a D2212 panel for D208 point expansion.
Issue
Why does the D2212 panel not allow keypad programming for a D208 point expander?
Solution
Before firmware revision 2.20, it was NOT possible to program the D2212 for a D208 Point Expander using keypad programming. Panels before firmware version 2.20 should be programmed with the D5200 handheld programmer or RAMIV/RPS download software.
Firmware revision 2.20 and above CAN be programmed via the keypad.
How to troubleshoot the 2000 series panel when the keypad reads Call For Service.
My D2212 reads "Call For Service" and does not show anything else. How do I determine the issue?
D2212, D2412, D2812
Issue
What is the difference between the D133 an D134?
Solution
The D133 has a single relay rated at 2A @ 30 VDC – 0.6A @ 125 VAC.
The D134 has two relays rated at 2A @ 30 VDC – 0.6A @ 125 VAC.
Current draw for the Relay is 40 mA per relay when activated.
Issue
Can I mix Heat Detectors and 2 wire smokes with a sounder when using a D132A Smoke Detector Polarity Reversing Module?
Solution
No. When a Heat detector goes into alarm it puts a short on the input zone to indicate the alarm. The D132A uses Aux power from the panel when the polarity reversal takes place and since a heat detector does not reset when polarity is reversed, it would put a direct short on the Aux power of the panel. Consequently everything connected to the same Aux power terminals would not function.
