texecom 1/2/3 e all same different shape pay around £25 +vat complete you should have had 13.80 ish across your aux - and + but if you are saying the detectors are lit just re check.

So you have no tamper return,can you test the bell tamper switch?
Probably the issue as the link at the bell clears the tamper.

Check the AUX again as stated should be 13.7 or abouts.

See how helpful a meter is.

I'll try checking the tamper again just to be sure.

Yes, the multimeter has been most useful, so thanks for th advice !

Next thing guys, I might buy a new bellbox, now how to I disable the old old siren prior o removing/installing?

Something to do with hold off?

Sparkymarka - so anyone you would suggest out of those? Also, do you have a preferred supplier I could go to?

Finally, is there no way to disable the alarm prior to replacing it? I assume it's a straight swap out, connect the cables, swap in?

And a safety net....

Seriously..... being that close to an alarm siren that suddenly explodes pain into your ear drums can be physically dis-orientating and if both hands are busy with the tools and the bell box then falling off the ladder IS a possibility.

It was so loud I instinctively backed away forgetting I was on the step ladder

from a person while being given first aid for a broken wrist.

Thanks,

I will definately keep an eye out! I have motorbike -30db earplugs that I will wear, to help!

Thank you associatedalarms, but £300, seriously?!? for replacing a £25 alarm?

I appreciate that as a business you need to make money, call out, running van, office, etc... but we are talking about replacing a unit with what 6 or 7 wires in it?

I was under the impression that this forum was for DIYers trying to understand and fix things themselves.

look on shop tab at top of page, security, alarms bellbox ect for a price.

 

[Doobrey]

I completely understand Associatedalarms. Hence my post stating I get it. But to be fair to yourself, you have been very helpful on the forums and for that I thank you for spending your time and effort.

I too help out on the forums now, based on the help that I have received, I have a different skillset to yourself, but like to give something back.

You do not have to help others for free, but believe me, it is really appreciated.

So Mrs Doobs and I "attempted" to change the bell sounder today.

Guess what... It worked

Thank you for all of the advice and support over the last few weeks. It actually wasnt that difficult to replace, we just took our time and took it steadily.

not deaf then ????? lol

 

[Doobrey]

Nope... Was sensible about it. Engineers mod, with battery.. Turned main power off. Disconnected wires at control end, removed cover ...no alarm, unplugged sirens... .

Installed new unit with hold off "battery install"... Sweet as.

It was quite easy actually !!! Thanks for all your help sparky!!!!

Doobs.
