GJD Dygizone remote light switch override

[coopersim]

Is there a way to wire in a normal style light switch for each zone to manually override the lights controlled by a GJD dygizone?

The helpline says yes but having a quick look it wouldn't be possible to install a strapper between the unit and the switch so I'm at a loss how this would work?

Yes it’s done from the low voltage side with a diode if I remember correctly….

Thanks that's what I remember from the Sapphire model too but they're telling me it's from the 230v side of things, I can't see how that's possible though?

Just had a look ….it’s showing all lights on in the diagram on the keypad cable ….what happens if you short the 0v to A terminal ?

I haven't yet installed as it might not meet the brief per se so will have to report back on that once the expansion unit arrives

Why do you need override switches ? As you can override from the keypad …

 

[coopersim]

Mainly because the keypad is ugly I think

I’ve still got the old solitaire 4 zone keypad on mine ….

Sorry to resurrect this. 0v to a works bit only in mode 1 (detectors operate lights day and night) presumably as the switch sends a signal to the panel but doesn’t reference light level?

You mentioned previously a diode, will this make a difference in this instance?
