I purchased a black and white Qaxe++6.1 hydro and while they were shipping, I printed out a shroud for each and purchased an Arctic fan and two Noctua splitters. The seller sent me two VR fans and a splitter as well. I'm not looking to push mine as I have an Avalon Q using enough electricity  I wanted to make them as quiet as possible. I upgraded the thermal paste to MX-6 and the temps dropped 6c and 8c, so the fan speed set to auto runs at 29-32% depending on the ambient temperature and are barely noticeable, so I'm happy with them as is. If anyone would be interested in the set, shoot me a message. I figured someone without a 3d printer may be interested. If not, I can just return the them to Amazon.

Also, I've been speaking to the seller and they purchased MX-7 thermal paste and had similar results and will be selling their units with MX-7 going forward  So there's a small win for us. I never understood why they did not use a better paste to begin with, but now they will be!

Hi,

So I'm reconfiguring a Vista 20p that was already in the house and disconnected. I replaced the upstairs non alpha keypad with a 6160 to reconfigure. I have it configured as I'd like, except for the ability to enter "Maximum" mode. When I enter the code +4 it beeps each time I press a key, but after I hit 4, nothing, nada. No change, stays in the ready to be armed mode. I tried it on the new 6160 and also on the smaller non alpha downstairs and it won't arm. I've gone through the programming guide and can't find anything, although the user guide states it should be available.

I'd prefer to be able to use Maximum mode when going to sleep as the motion sensors are downstairs and I do not want any type of entry delay if I'm asleep and the only one in the house.

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion, because I can't find anything online other than the basic there's a fault, open, etc... but that's not the case. So... does anyone know what I'm missing?

I guess if I can't get this figured out, I can use Night-Stay. But... I can't figure out how to configure the motion sensors to be active when in Night-Stay mode. If I set the zone type to 20, wouldn't they be active while stay or night stay is armed? And if I set the them to 20, what happens when I use instant mode as the manual says it's the same as stay, but with no entry delay.

My goal is this:

1. Use Instant to arm perimeter with no entry delay at night before bed.
2. Use "SOMETHING" to arm perimeter and interior with no entry delay when going to bed.
3. Use Away when actually leaving the house.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm having an odd issue with my front door sensor, which is an 5816, and I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.

The system was installed by a prior owner. I just installed a 6160 Keypad so I could configure it for self monitoring.

When the system is first brought up and is in the ready state, if I open the front door, the chime goes off, but sets a fault on the panel for that zone. If it's in the ready state and I set it to away, once the exit countdown expires, with the door closed, the alarm automatically goes off. I can go into programming mode and exit out to clear it, but then it will repeat. Door works the first time, but sets a fault again...

Is there a setting I'm missing? New battery and since the chime does go off, I feel like it's working partially and maybe it's something simple.

Thanks!
