Re: Multiple magnets, one zone, EOL resistor. Never works!

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The best glue I've found is GOOP it's not like silicon which never will
stick on in the same place or falls off because of temperature (usually too
cold)...you can buy Goop at Home Depot or anywhere actually...I swear by the
stuff. It is somekind of silicone but it dries faster and harder and CLEAR.

Never really had problems with something shorting out a panel though.

| Hah!  You got me.
| Anyway, there were TWO problems I finally figured out:
| First, I stuck a resistor at the panel and it still read open.  So,
| since it's a little expander module, I removed the unit from the wall
| and put it under heavy lights and looked very closely at the contacts.
| There was a piece of something (wire possibly?) jammed between the
| contacts!  I removed that and it worked so far.  But, the long 50' span
| of window switches still read open all the time.  So, I shorted each
| one at a time and determined that the second one was bad.  I cut it
| out, replaced it, and re-soldered each connection and now it's fine.
| Goddam incredible.  I bet guys that do this every day must find all
| sorts of crap shorting out the panel... dog hair, mice, roaches,
| joints, whatever.
| One thing I did also notice is two of the window magnets slipping off
| the metal part of the Andersen windows.  I guess that tape doesn't
| stick very well. I tried a dab of silicone DAP but that didn't work
| well either.  I suppose I'm just going to Super Glue the darn things.
| What do you guys use to make sure they never fall off?
