Hi all, I'm wrestling with an annoying function of the System Sensor COSMOD2W. It's not a huge problem but it's one of those things that I'd assume has to have been encountered before.
From what I can tell:
Smoke Zone: NO
CO Zone: NO
Maintenance Zone: NC
This is just based on the way the diagram shows the smoke and CO zones apparently provision their EOL resistors in parallel while the same diagram shows in a dotted-line fasion, the EOL resistor being in series. Wouldn't that indicate the MZ is NC?
What I've bee wrestling with is that any time the COSMOD2W gets reset, either from a module-reset or from a whole panel power cycle or zone level programing change, the Maintenance zone goes into alarm. As soon as I enter my disarm code, it stops and as long as the COSMOD2W stays up and online it's seemingly good to go from there on out. It feels like when the module initializes there's a short lag period during which the panel reads the zone as in an alarmed state.
I've tried setting up the zone both with and without NC-EOLR sypervision and the behavior is the same. Like I said, it's not a massive problem but it's kind of an annoying thing to have to remember every time a reset happens. Since I'm the homeowner and installer I guess I can get used to it, but if I were a professional installer I can't believe this would be a great way to make customers happy. I'd have to imagine I'm not the first person to encounter this.
For what it's worth, I'm running a DSC 1832 panel with single EOLR supervison enabled. Everything else working great, though this COSMOD2W has been a bit of a bear to figure out.
If there were a zone definition that didn't go "active" right away, that would be one way of dealing with it, but the DSC 1832 has no such beast...that I can see.
Thanks much for any advice!
Kindly,
Adam
