How to set the zone types and partitions on the IDS X-Series LCD alarm keypad

[@vaughanza]

Hi How would you create another partition , thanks for another great video

[@qeewoi2441]

Very helpful, thanks man. Keep up the good works

[@stuartdoran7060]

Thank you dude! Awesome.

[@FrankieCoda]

Thanks for great tutorial. So I followed your process and managed to divide my IDS into 2 partitions (inside and outside) but now when I arm a partition and I break a zone, the alarm/siren/armed response don’t trigger but I can see the beam activate. All the zones are set to 4. Any ideas?

[@jaars911]

Hello, do you perhaps have videos on the IDS805, Im planning on buying one on takealot and installing it myself. Later on I want to install beams but for that I probably need a remote to activate and deactivate the alarm for when I come home late and the family already armed the alarm for the night

[@ngscottburgh7640]

Can a IDS remote be programmed to arm/disarm partition 1 with button 1 and partition 2 with button 2?

Under the Trouble view I get a message sometimes that there is "Siren Trouble". It worked once after the power dipped and the next time it stopped again. How do I fix this? Not willing to pay a call out fee with the amount of power cuts we experience. Look forward to hearing from you!

[@ecologicaltime]

Siren may be faulty or there is a fuse that may have blown. The fuse is on the panel. If you check the fuse and its fine, just disconnect the siren and connect the two wires red =+ to the 12v battery directly. if siren works then change the fuse. If it does not work or there is a spark on battery, get a new siren.

Ek wil gou hoor of jy sal kan help. Ons wil vir ons bediende n knoppie teen die muur sit wat die alarm stel met n 5 min timer delay. Ek weet daar is n manier wat sy kan volg om die kodes in te druk om dit te doen maar sy onthou nie altyd hoe om dit te doen nie. Is daar so iets wat jy sal kan voorstel en hoe om dit te doen?

Good Morning I'm having some difficulties connecting the IDS Optex XWave Wireless receiver IDS 600-462 C it is connected from the key-pad D+ and D- , green light stays on when i press and hold the tamper switch and orang light status stays on. But when i go to location 260 and add new zone 1 and trigger the tamper switch on the wireless Detector IDS 600-R563-02-A it does not respond on the key-pad so by entering the serial number followed by * it also does not register. i'm not sure if the problem is at the receiver all the dip switches 2 - 6 are off except for the first one number 1. " Do i need to program the Receiver on the key pad at a different location. Please Help.

Hi ecologicaltime. I've hit my wits end with our alarm issue. Multiple zones getting triggered randomly at any time of day(always between zones 9-16). Changed the wiring , new sensors and still the same issue. Alarm technician now says expander board could be the issue. Any idea?

[@ecologicaltime]

it can be expander. The expander has a red led on it. It should not be flashing.

[@TheKaveshan]

@@ecologicaltime thank you for your response. Unfortunately the IDS 816 expander is not manufactured anymore, we have to put a whole new system.

Good day. I am in the process of installing a new alarm system using a X64 V2.75 controller and an X Series Curve LCD multi language keypad. It would seem my dedicated keypad panic does not work. I wired it according to the schematic, using a N/O button with a 3K3 resistor accross it. The COMMON is wired to the GND terminal that is labled Keypad GND and the N/O is wired to the Zone terminal on the keypad. The button still does not work. Is there a setting on the keypad that Im missing? Thanks in advance.

[@ecologicaltime]

there are 4 wires "comms" for the keypad. Pos, Neg and data + and data -. The keypad sends the panic signal via the RS485. The keypad wires connect only to the Pos, neg and data + and - on the main board. Not sure i follow what you did, but thats how i connect the LCD curve keypads.

[@wianvanheerden7542]

@@ecologicaltime My keypad works fine, I can set up my zones, I got my HYYP hub to work as well. On the keypad there are 6 terminals: Zone, Pgm, D-, D+, GND and 12V. I connected my 4 wires, namely D-, D+, GND and 12V to my X64 and that works perfect. What doesnt work is the dedicated keypad panic button thst is wired in between Zone and GND on the keypad. My question was, is there a parameter setting on the keypad that enables the keypad panic or am I missing something else? I followed the IDS X64 Connection Diagram that came with the unit. In the keypad section, it shows you how to wire a Door LED as well as a dedicated keypad panic button to the terminals on the keypad. I did just that but my panic does not work. This is why I thought perhaps there is a parameter setting where one should enable the Keypad Panic first.

[@ChrisViljoenAwesome]

Hi there! Thanks for the very useful videos!!!

[@lesediteleko3597]

Can you please make tutorial about the LED Keypad

[@sg160784]

Thanks

[@ecologicaltime]

Thank you!

[@MaxcensioBanda]

Yes am learning . maxcensio Banda Lusaka Zambia

[@warrenpfo]

Many thanks for all your effort. Could I ask that you document how to install an optex xvi or other PIR to the board and not just installing the beam. I am bust upgrading my alarm from window magnets to exterior beams and it would be great to learn how to do this on the board and then keypad. Your videos and knowledge have been very helpful so far thank you.

[@ecologicaltime]

okay ill do it. I have a few Optex videos i am working on as well. Ill add in yours.

[@warrenpfo]

@@ecologicaltime thank you very much. By install to the board, I also mean the software side of things. On a separate note do you find if you make changes through Swift not all of them get uploaded as this happens quite often with me.

[@craiglishman675]

Hi there.. how do I set the lcd screen sleep mode so it dims or switches off after say 30 seconds?

[@ecologicaltime]

i will post a video

[@suhelpatel5973]

Hi, I m having X Series and I would like to know how Do i program LED light for Arm and Disarm Alarm? I m struggling From last 3 days now, i will appreciate your help. Thanks

[@ecologicaltime]

i intend on making this video in the upcoming weeks.

[@johnshawdrake5253]

how do you switch between partitions?

[@ChrisViljoenAwesome]

A quick question... How do I connect the AC transformer to the alarm???

[@ecologicaltime]

on the bottom left side of an IDS panel, you will see AC terminals. You take the two wires from the AC adapter and you insert in the AC input of the board.

[@ChrisViljoenAwesome]

@@ecologicaltime awesome many thanks man! Actually, my adapter has 3 wires coming out lol. A Green/Blue/ and an Earth. Then right on the blue and green cables (which I assume are the +/- wires, there's a small round blue cap or resettable resistor or something, connecting the two at the choc bloc onside the adaptor. So that cap connecting things confused me. But I have since found out its completely normal and should still connect it as is?

[@icemanbrfc]

Maybe a stupid question, but how does one rename a zone?

[@derciochembene672]

[@ecologicaltime]

[@fastnet740]

Hello, sir, I'm installing Ids 805 but I'm sticking activating zone and arming and disarming the system, help please

[@ecologicaltime]

you can contact IDS helpline or your local installer.

[@platonzapheriou1503]

Hi please can you send me an email I have some questions regarding the X series IDS, many thanks

[@ecologicaltime]

hi, my videos are as is, there is no follow up support. only comments. IDS does have a call centre.

[@jc.eph.6]

I hate this control panel, curse the day it was replaced by the security people.
