Hi All,
I recently updated the firmware in my NAPCO GEM 9600 Security panel to Version 61B (home automation) and am having some strange issues. 1) HAL can access the panel and correctly reads the READY NOT READY state of the system 2) HAL does not read all the sensors I have loaded for each zone. It reads some, but not all. See attached screen grab. 3) When I remove a sensor that worked and then reconfigure, it also can no longer read the status. I was using HA firmware version 40C, but had to upgrade for a systems keypad upgrade. Thoughts: - Do I have something corrupt somewhere in HAL related to the NAPCO device? - Does Version 61B Firmware not work with HAL Ultra? - Am I crazy?????? Any input would be great! Thanks! dave Hal Ultra 6.0.60 Win 7 GEM9600 |

Hi Dave,

HI Dave,
Quick question... are you using the flat gray cable and the PCI Mini adapter provided by Napco? Tim

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using the serial cable provided and the PCI Mini adapter to the panel. I've had it installed for 5-6 years now with no problem. Its odd that it reads some zones and not others. I can swap the cable and the PCI mini interface to troubleshoot, I have a spare. Just downloaded 6.1.12 with Tylers help.......nice guy and excited about checking it out. Thanks again! dave |

Tim,
One more interesting note: I went and cycled each zone while monitoring the system monitor to verify proper reading of each zone cycle in HAL. The systems monitor correctly reads the zone, but when looking at Homenet on another machine, the zone is still not displayed. The zones which are displayed in Homenet do toggle correctly. Pic attached. Thanks! dave |

Hi Tim,
Just back form work and was going to work this issue this week. Did you have any luck chasing this one down? Thanks! |

We fixed an issue in HomeNet Graphical UI that wouldn't permit arming or disarming that was introduced when we added HALws for security and incorporated tighter security. Only the Text version worked. We can't find anything related to sensors.
I would suggest that you start a help desk ticket and have one of the guys in support remote into your system to try and resolve it. Tim

Tim,
Finally home a bit and worked this.....I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked. I probably had something set incorrectly. Thanks! dave |
