Powermax Pro burned IC after rs232 connection

[RobbieR]

It seems that my powermax pro fried its IC after i connected the rs232 module and turned it on..
Within seconds the M16C ic was fried, smoke out of the panel.

Can someone tell what i did wrong ?

Can you post a picture of the module and where you connected it within the Powermax Pro?

And also the cable pin setting, If you made the cable yourself.

its the rs232 set i bought from homecare http://www.homecare-huisautomatisering. ... cts_id=292

So i didn't make any cable or something
I just attached according to the specs the flatcable and boem. the rj45 to serial is a standerd converter., thats shipped together with the module.

This is a kit for the Powermax (plus)! For the Powermax Pro you need another kit.

well according to the box it says powermax pro connection kit

Then I think its bad luck or the cable could be wrong manufactured?

Waakzaam wonen.nl asked me to send it to them so they will have a look.
HomeCare did't even wanna know about a default rs232 cable, im not gonna buy anything from that store anymore....

is there a way to remote program without the kit ? When you take the cover from the powermax pro there is yet another connection for PC i bet thats a serial plug to..

Is there any result/conclusion what gave the trouble?
I am thinking about ordering the same set at the same shop, since Marcel /Waakz.Wonen is on holiday for a while and the price is about half.

well i finnaly got a new Powermax pro back from isreal. They didn't knew what happend and after like 5 months i got a new one send back (with an old firmware version) so the mcs-730 don't work on it anymore.

Kewl so now for the new question, "is it possible to read out the eprom from the powermax pro and shoot it in to a new eprom ? So that i can get new version from new powermax pro and place it into a powermax pro from last year ?


Thnx

?? I don't think it is easily possible
Send the panel back to Visonic!
The service of Visonic is really bad, sending back a very old panel is outrages
I think Visonic is becoming to popular and that shows in there service.......
