Anyone know how long before an Aritech 433mhz sends a supervisory signal ??

KoolKid

Supervision can be changed or turned off.
Why do you ask?

What is it set to in the control panel?

KoolKid

A response from what?
Alarm signals should still be instant, regardless of supervision settings.

Thunderbird2

The minimum before it activates a sensor failure is 2 hours
Cant seem to find any other option to change it..
Trying to find a solution to a certain problem ive encountered

KoolKid

Is this if the sensor is powered down?
Supervision is how often it checkes for the device. There is a seperate setting as to how many missed before device lost is reported.

Im getting interference from a remote control .it blocks the signal from sensor to panel

KoolKid

Really?

Thunderbird2

That is why installers and manufactures use the 868 frequency, blocking, alarm activating are common issues with the 433. There are too many devices using this frequency.

Thunderbird2

But arent all eircoms gear 433????

KoolKid

And does the CS250 register RF Jam?

Thunderbird2

Nope and its on the lowest jam settings..

I bet it is when you open the sensor and activate the remote at the same time?

Thunderbird2

Ye it even blocks the tamper

I had an issue a few years ago with a CS250 wireless system. The end user had bought a dodgy wireless door bell and it played havoc with the alarm. TV senders and weather stations are known culprits too.

This is a simple remote for switching on lights... How are these systems accepted by insurance companies when something as simple as this can be done . If i press and hold down the button it blocks the signal from reaching the panel.
The panel still thinks the sensoris closed even when opened and the alarm is set

How long does the panel take to notice the sensor is open?

Im still waiting for it to realise ..........

Spot on . Went off just there ! Thats 15 mins someone could have spent in the house. Sensor was open ..if i had closed the sensor the alarm wouldnt have gone off and id just have to press the remote to jam it again

Thunderbird2

Its called data collision

Maybe this shouldn't be posted on the public forum lads.

It is simply blocking the signal burst when the sensor opens and then after the 15 minutes it will activate the alarm, that is unless the sensor is closed within the time frame.
