FAQs

Is the Texecom Veritas R8 PLUS a wireless or wired system?

The Texecom Veritas R8 PLUS is a wired alarm system.

Can I install this system myself?

Due to the requirement for running wires and configuring the system, professional installation is highly recommended for optimal performance and security.

How many zones does the Veritas R8 PLUS support?

The Veritas R8 PLUS control panel typically supports 8 zones, which can be configured and expanded upon.

What is the purpose of the GSM dialler?

The GSM dialler allows the alarm system to send notifications (such as calls or SMS messages) to designated mobile phones in the event of an alarm activation, even if a landline is unavailable.

What kind of sensors are included in the kit?

The kit includes 4 Bosch PIR (Passive Infrared) sensors for motion detection.

Does the system have battery backup?

Yes, alarm systems like the Veritas R8 PLUS are designed to operate on mains power with a backup battery to ensure functionality during power outages.

How do I perform a test of the alarm system?

Consult the user manual for specific testing procedures. Typically, this involves arming the system and then triggering a zone to confirm it activates the alarm and notification functions.

Troubleshooting

System fails to arm

Check that all zones are clear (no movement detected by PIRs) and that no faults are indicated on the keypad.

False alarms from PIR sensors

Ensure sensors are not exposed to direct sunlight, heat sources (radiators, vents), or moving curtains. Verify they are securely mounted and not experiencing vibrations. Consider repositioning or using alternative sensor types if environmental factors persist.

GSM dialler not sending notifications

Verify the SIM card is correctly inserted, active, and has sufficient credit. Check the signal strength at the installation site and ensure the correct contact numbers are programmed into the system.

Keypad is unresponsive

Check the wiring connection between the keypad and the control panel. Ensure the control panel has power. If the issue persists, the keypad may need replacement.

  • Reliable and stable wired system.
  • Includes quality Bosch PIR sensors for accurate detection.
  • GSM dialler provides crucial remote notification capabilities.
  • Expandable to accommodate future security needs.
  • Clear LED indicators on the keypad for user-friendliness.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to being a wired system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Due to its wired nature, the Texecom Veritas R8 PLUS typically requires professional installation. This involves running wires from the control panel to each sensor and the keypad, connecting the GSM module, and configuring the system zones and settings.

Compatibility:

This system is designed to integrate with other Texecom compatible accessories and wired sensors. Ensure any additional components are compatible with the Veritas R8 PLUS control panel.

Care:

  • Control Panel: Keep the control panel clean and free from dust using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is in a secure location, inaccessible to unauthorized individuals.
  • Sensors: Periodically check that the sensors are free from obstructions and dust. Gentle dusting with a soft brush or cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • GSM Module: Ensure the SIM card (if applicable) is active and has credit for outgoing calls/SMS. Check for good signal strength in the installation location.
