Hillbilly Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Left hand side of the circuit board marked Hold Off. Unscrew wire take out, bell rings put wire back in, bell stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 No Prbs. A 12v 2.1AH rechargeable battery will do the job. Screwfix part no 20080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is you have to know how to use a galaxy first , not try and guess , Alarm monkey needs you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl taylor Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Shame you didnt live near me mr happy i would pay you to sort this mickey mouse alarm system out for me. Had now 3 alarm companies get back in touch with me out of 5 i have contacted. With 2 of them saying we call you back to arrange an appointment bla bla bla. Never called back. Where i live the attitude is or seems to be if didnt install it not my problem So if i can fix, service or what ever to sort this alarm out i will until it gets ripped out and up dated. I wont be getting a risco product thats for sure. Any way i get some new batteries for the fob remotes and see what battery i need for panel and test bell bix siren and take it from there as system was fitted in 2011 so battery will be on its last legs.

karl taylor Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have tried to test the bell box by removing the wire that says bell hold on it to test to see if bell back up battery is working. It the 4 wire on the bottom of the panel. On photo its the black wire Nothing happens. No sound from bell box. This might be a stupid question but do i need to be out of engineers mode on the alarm for me to do this test? Or does this suggest battery for siren back up is knacked?

norman Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 @ 5 years I'd also look to replace the panel battery. Oh and I'd suggest the battery is not connected (more likely ime) or faulty as you say. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
