Between 12+ and bell should be around 13.8v dc in alarm
Output 3 is bell output that looks correct

Yeah but I think I only just changed the endpoint output 3 before taking the picture and it said something very weird before. I think that might explain the strange thing happening when trying to set the alarm. As soon as I hit set alarm it starts sounding, cancel set and it stops almost straight away.
I'll try again tomorrow morning now it's changed.
Would that output been set to something ridiculous change the behaviour of the siren test? Does it tell the panel there's not a siren there hence if doesn't apply the voltage? I assume this isn't going to be something like a damaged fuse. There's no indication on the panel that way and they all looked fine.
I think once I get my head round it this will be excellent.

Just tried to test siren (on the basis I could cancel as soon as it pipped) and nothing.
Suspect there was no voltage between the hold off and the trigger but will try touching the bell trigger on 0v tomorrow.
Let's say it's because the panel isn't applying any voltage to the siren trigger but is to the strobe trigger... What might cause that?
Thanks again!

Hi mate
Tried the bell trigger directly to 0v on the battery. Worked.
Connected back up to panel and prodded the fuse a bit. That then works in siren test.
Tried setting the alarm. It now exit beeps properly. Entrance and immediate alarm works as expected too.
No idea what was causing it but glad it's sorted. Thanks for the help and recommendation.

May be an idea to post picture of external bell , could advise on any issues with it !
With the cover closed I can't see anything. It does seem to work fine though, strobe is a bit weak and intermittent but it is over ten years old. Still sounds and self actuates.
Alarm has been fine since sorting out this morning.
What's the difference between bell output intruder any and siren any? Engineer manual says siren test only selects siren any outputs. I have it set to that and seems to sound only on intruder anyway (and the test) so a bit puzzled.

Probably won't sound if panic or fire activates on intruder only
