When trying to add wireless points, the keypad responds with: NO RF MODULE. The B820 is correctly wired to SDI2 and has the EN4200 receiver connected. LEDs indicate proper operation. Verify the B820 is set to the correct address which must be address 1.  If the B820 is not set to address 1, the keypad will respond with NO RF MODULE. B820 ... View more

How many EN4200 receivers can be used with the B820? Answer: Only one B820 can be connected to the SDI2 bus and only one EN4200 can be connected to the B820. If there is weak wireless signal in parts of an installation site, a EN5040-T repeater may be added to improve signal strength at the transmitter location. The EN5040-T will capture signals from the transmitter and repeat them at four times the transmitter's power. ... View more

Documentation for most motions with a built in popit recommend programming as:       Point type 2, point response E, no ring until restored. The following motions use a built-in Popit:   ZX776,  ZX794Z, , ZX835, ZX935Z, ZX938Z, ZX970 This type of programming does not provide for the entry delay that is sometimes required.   Motion detectors using built in Popits report a shorted condition to the control panel when faulted. These 'popit-motions' that use a tamper switch report a missing condition when the tamper is faulted.  When a delay response is required, use a point response of 6, 7 or 8 to start an entry delay on the faulted (short) condition.   Note below where a D (Delay) is displayed for point responses 6, 7 & 8. ...

How to determine the values to enter for the Poll Rate and Ack Wait Time. Note: The calculation described is only be required on legacy control panels.  The B8512G/B9512G and GV4 types only need a Receiver Supervision Time selection.  The Poll Rate, Ack Wait and Retry count will automatically populate.  The formula for determining Poll Rate and Ack Wait Time is as follows: Panel setting: Poll Rate + Ack Wait + ( Retry Count X Ack Wait) Receiver setting: Panel Poll + Ack Wait Panel setting = Receiver setting Example:    Panel Setting: Poll Rate = 240; Ack Wait = 10; Retry Count = 5 Panel setting: 240+10+ (5 X 10) = 300 Receiver Settings: Poll = 240; Ack = 60 Receiver setting: 240 + 60 = 300 300 = 300 Refer to the the following site for more information on setting up Conettix Devices www.conettix.com/Downloads.aspx ...

Legacy Panel Mode cannot be changed with the B426 or B420 IP Communicator when addressed as 0. This article discusses how to change Legacy Panel Mode on the B426 or B420 IP Communicator . Legacy Panel Mode emulates Datagram 00 on the Conettix DX4020 modules. The following Legacy panels use the setting: Legacy Panel Mode= Enabled. GV2 Series v7.05 and lower G Series v6.99 and lower DS7400XiV4   Notes: When programming Legacy type panels the source and destination port must be the same. To allow for the panel (Local) port to be different from the receiver (destination) port, the firmware of the panel must be upgraded to one which does not require Legacy mode Enabled. When changing the B420 or B426 address, a power down reset must be performed for the card to apply the new address. A 30 second power-down is recommended to fully power the card down prior to restoring power. The B426 or B420 Must be set to Address 4 in order to change the Legacy Panel Mode setting. When not set to address 4, the Advanced Network Setting screen will appear as seen below; notice the Legacy Panel Mode setting is greyed out. When addressed to 4, the Legacy Panel Mode setting is no longer greyed out and can now be set to Enabled or Disabled. (See below) After enabling Legacy Panel Mode, click OK at the bottom of the screen.  Then select Save and Execute.  After the changes are saved, you can continue configuring the module, or logout. ...
