Troubleshooting

If Nimbus appears to be recording each event 10 times, check the connection between Nimbus Connect and Panel, specifically the Nimbus Connect TX to Panel RX. A poor connection will result in the acknowledgement from the Nimbus Connect to Panel not being received and 10 copies of each event being reported.
