New challenger bell box doesn't silence

[sparkwright]

Hiya, I have a Citadel/ADE security alarm system on an outbuilding which needs a new bell box.

Have chosen a Challenger AU1000WBX bell box.

Matching the wiring up seems very easy, the instructions have details for an ADE system.

strobe-...strobe-
12v V+...D
12v V-...A
rtn...T
trig...B

When the alarm is set, all seems well.

However, when the alarm is deliberately activated, the bell box will not silence when the code is entered, I have to shut it up by removing the battery plug inside the new bell box.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Inside the bell box unit I have selected SCB instead of SAB, via a small switch.

I should point out there are some dip switches inside the unit.

Does it work if you set it to SAB

Thank you for replying.

I haven't actually tried setting it to SAB.

Post photo of bell box wiring config and wiring at control panel end.

I'm not there at the moment, but any pointers you may have will be appreciated.

Should. Be SAB …SCB Is incorrect

Yes, that's one thing I should have checked at the time, but did not...

Will definitely try this in the morning.

Anything else I ought to be thinking about?

I tried the bell box set to sab,but it didn't make any difference.

The terminals in the panel are marked up scb, which I why I probably set the bell box to scb in the first place.

It seems when I connect the bell box up, after about two minutes the bell box siren will go off, regardless of whether the alatm is set.

Don’t be fooled on what ADE panels say as they operate as SAB , not old school SCB ( which where negative removed)

What are the LEDS showing ? Have you blown the bell supply fuse ?

 

[sparkwright]

Red power light is on.
Day green light is on.
