Hello, looking for some assistance, i managed to wire up x ex pander modules correctly, problem is when the modules are connected the keypad reports trouble: peripheral fuse, peripheral ac, peripheral batt. also one other issue, the zone one wont stay closed, even when there is just a 3k3 resistor accros,n only way was to disable the zone, any pointers please.

hi, nice work. I have a challenge. My expander board works correctly for few minutes then it starts to blink and all zones becomes violated. When I remove the power completely and reconnect, then it works again for a few minutes. This is a new expander board 17-24. I don't know if you can help. Could it be that I bought a fault board? Please help with any troubleshooting I can carry out. Note also my battery is almost done but am not sure if this cause the problem. Thanks in advance.
