Resetting CBUS/Minder System

Hi,

Today we had circuit breakers trip, and my Clipsal Home minder key pad is displaying 'key pad comms failed, please contact your installer'.

Does anyone have any tips on how to reinitiate comms or to reset system

regards and thanks

 

Chances are your keypad has lost it's address. Assuming you have only one keypad, you will need to set it's address back to zero. Been a few years since I've done this but from memory, you need to press the 'menu' and '1' buttons at the same time to get you into the setup menu. You then need to press the '1' key (Keypad address). You will then see the address that the keypad is set to. If it's 00, then simply type in '01' and then enter. That should drop you back to the main menu where you will need to press '0' to exit. You will then see a message 'local mode off'. After a short while, your keypad should spring back to life. This seemed to be a common problem after breaker trips

Cheers

 

Thank you for the tip. Unfortunatley it did not work. I tried 01, 00 but no success. I also noticed a number of other manual setting types in that menu structure. Anyhting else you think I should e looking for?? thanks again

 

Can you confirm what the address of the keypad (currently) is? Is it 00 or 01?

 

You can also try www.comfortforums.com for assistance, I am sure they will be able to assist.

I usually power down the whole system, including disconnecting the battery, and power it back on again.

You could try the Integrators forum in the Thinkboxx section, this is the Clipsal Minder. Though to be honest I think most of the people on that (very dead) forum are found on this one anyway! The Thinkboxx section can be found here:

Hi MFREDO,

My system is doing the exact same thing now, just wondering if you had any chance with rectifying from your previous post. Understand this may have been some time ago, cheers

 

Have you tried what I outlined in the 2nd post in this thread?
