Add a new user. Enroll the fob under that user and give the user Full Set and Unset privileges only.

Thanks koolkid

sorry forgot to ask, can 1 pace fob be enrolled to controll 2 different keypads with same settings. Thanks

I seem to be getting a Tamper alarm on the sensor on my garage door quite often. The sensor is an HKC wireless sensor. The opening and closing of the doors is detected fine but occasionally I get a disconnect in the log when the door are being opened. Any ideas? Could the battery need replacing?

I take it that you do not have a Siemens SPC 4320 Control panel ?

If so, how did you manage to get a HKC wireless unit to be compatible with that panel ?

Anyway, check to see firstly, did the cover of the wireless unit become loose or is there any sign of dampness there ?

If it is a battery issue, it would report it as a battery problem.

After a power outage today, keypads just show V2.09 13Mar13, S/Nxxxxxxxxxx.
After any button press then shows RFID: EM4100, Module: None.
Any ideas if I can reset the panel, or has it been damaged?

garo · 22-10-2020 08:54PM

Yes I have an SPC4320. There is no problem with an HKC wireless unit being compatible with the SPC. The sensor is a HKC Securewave slimline sensor. I believe it is contact only.

I'll check the cover and for dampness tomorrow. After posting here I searched for more threads and it seems that this is a common problem: https://www.boards.ie/search/submit/?query=wireless%20sensor%20tamper&forum=1366

Edit: I made a mistake. The wireless sensor is a Siemens contact sensor.

garo · 22-10-2020 08:56PM

@freddy99: When the power outage happened did your battery not take over? I had a problem with the fuse inside the panel blowing but that was an easy replacement. I didn't realise until a day later because the battery kept the panel going.

garo · 23-10-2020 12:21PM

Just to clarify I made a mistake and the wireless sensors I have are Siemens IMKW6-10. I suspect the other garage door sometimes hits the sensor while opening which is causing the tamper alert. The installer had to put the sensor and contact very close to each other.

While I'm at it, I have another question. I have three prepay SIM in the alarm. Any idea how I can add that to a three account or top it up? Obvisouly that SIM cannot receive any messages or activation codes.

freddy99 · 23-10-2020 01:29PM

Thank you. Fuse is OK. Pressed the reset button and everything came back to life.
Clock time defaulted to 01 Jan 2015, but after resetting that everything back to normal.

garo · 23-10-2020 02:50PM

Yes I had the same thing happen and had to put in the time and date again.

ULMarc · 13-10-2022 11:55PM

Hey. Haven't seen it mentioned in this thread. Where could the DIY installer purchase an SPC4320? I'm near Limerick. Not familiar enough with the product to know which google results to trust.

I have added a zone expander to the xbus on the Siemens spc. I set the address to 5 and this has been picked up when I asked the panel to scan the xbus. But I’m not seeing any new x bus zones on the controller.

i’m configuring via the web interface. Any help would be appreciated.

DublinDilbert · 03-02-2024 02:06PM

This is what I’m seeing on the web interface

DublinDilbert · 03-02-2024 08:52PM

I saw in the manual that the zones were allocated in groups of 8 based on xbus ID. So I guessed the panel maybe didn’t support more than 32 zones. So I reset the xbus Id to 2 and all working fine.

Hi All,

Possibly a reasonably appropriate thread to ask this in. I currently have an old HKC 8/12 system in the house that was probably installed when the house was built in 2004/5, that I would like to upgrade with something slightly more modern, that I could self monitor.

The house is wired throughout, with sensors on windows and doors, and one PIR sensor in the main hall. There is an internal sounder and an external sounder and a keypad at the door. Would it be possible to replace the alarm panel and keypad with a Vanderbilt SPC 4320 relatively easy? My main question would be compatibility of old sensors with the new system.

I believe the current system works, however we have not used it since moving into the house, other than replacing the battery. I have set off the alarm a few times by opening the main panel (tamper protection) and by opening the covers of some of the window sensors.

Jnealon · 21-01-2025 03:47PM

Yes they will all be compatible

Thanks Jnealon!

I suppose a more vague question - is it worth doing this upgrade purely for remote monitoring capability? I've gone around the house and have looked at all the sensors - they are all open/close sensors, bar the hall beam. Would it be worth changing some of these (for example, back door) to sensors that can detect shock/glass breaking? How compatible would this be with the existing wiring, or should this be changed to a wireless sensor instead?

I've gone around the house and have counted a total of 7 zones. I suspect the smoke/heat detector is also wired into the alarm (however, I'm not 100% sure). I suppose this could then be upgraded to a wireless smoke/heat detector? There is also a panic button in one of the bedrooms - although I dont think I need one..

Quick query, I moved to a house which has an old phonewatch alarm (picture link below for reference)

I have a Siemens SPC 4320 I want to replace it with and my question is whether it's possible te reuse the wireless shock / contact sensors already installed around the house?

My understanding from reading around is that if these are compatible, I would possibly need a UTC/GE Quikbridge wired into the SPC panel?

Where to source a quikbridge or does anyone have one they want to sell?

Thanks!

You would need a quick bridge to add the 433 sensors to the SPC panel.

I havent seen one in the wholesalers for years so you may be in trouble with regards to adding them to that system.

Aritech do the next gen system which has a 433 receiver build in to take them sensors which would be another option.

Cheaper than replacing everything.

Thanks for that, thats what I suspected re the Quikbridge. I did get the puzzled look from any wholesalers I tried.

Will check out the Airtech system - thanks for the pointer.
