Wiring shock sensors ?

[slychiu]

I am confident these settings will handle almost all sensors of this type.  I have personally been on site with installers where the window grill frame was very large, so that a light tap can set off the sensor, to small and rigid plates where you need a large bang. The sensitivity setting and count allows you to cater for both extremes

Comfort is not quite as easy as a normal alarm system to set up, but let uis know if you have problems

I\'m installing some shock sensors, a couple of questions. The sensor is a Texecom Impaq S and has options I need to configure. Can you advise what I should be selecting for Comfort, and would I need to use a resistor?
Thanks

I believe the Alarm should be 4K7 and the Tamper should be 2K2

I\'ve come to install, and now not sure so what to connect. The connections on your diagram won\'t align to what is on the shock sensor itself.
Do I use resistors both at the Comfort panel AND at the shock sensor?
Can I ignore the tamper? If the intruders are in, PIRs will sort out the alarm, these shocks just need to trap external factors.
Do I take the zone output to the shock sensor to EOL1, then loop a 4k resistor to EOL2, and then the common from EOL2 back to the Comfort panel perhaps?
Thanks!

You can conect the EOL resistors either at the sensor end or at comfort, not at both
The DIP switches seem to indicate that the sensor has internal resistors, but I canot confirm without seeing their circuit diagramMaybe you need to do some trial and error

I presume I just do the following?
-Connect the Comfort zone output to one of the EOL connectors on the shock
-Connect the Comfort zone common to the other EOL connector on the shock
-Select option 2 on both the shock DIPs for the resistance required by Comfort which is 4K7 alarm, 2K7 tamper.

-Then something on Comfort to tell it there\'s an EOL connection rather than a regular PIR style connection?? I looked here but it wasn\'t clear to me http://www.comfortforums.com/forum127/4935.html

You should just go ahead and try it, as I do not know what they mean without the actual internal circuit
In Comfort, make sure the EOL shunts are moved away from the terminal block
Go to Security Check mode by Keypad F,3,2.
If there is no zone trouble announced then it is correct/ Open the zone, the zone should be announced, not zone trouble
Pres F to end the mode

I tried, and failed. I can power these shocks, but cannot get Comfort to detect any data.

Is there a way I can send a unit at my cost to Cytech, or someone in the UK, to test and confirm what\'s needed to make them work?

Thanks

Yes send it over, I have given my address by emailinclude any instructrions
