[External Sounder Not Working]

Eventually got round to testing out 'anguscanplay's suggestion, to no avail. Still nothing from the box.

CDJ, I did not install the alarm system, it was installed before we moved in (pre 1997), the control panel was changed in 2003/4 by a semi-retired electrician who I cannot get hold (probably fully-retired now).

I do not know enough about these things to carry out what you said in your post.

Unless someone out there has any other suggestions, I guess it's time to call out the experts ! Can anyone recommend someone reputable in the Stoke-on-Trent area??

Thanks.

the panel could be programmed to delay the external bell on entry fail. unless you have the engineers code you could be snookered.

have you tried setting off a panic alarm of set the alarm off at the back of the house, ie. avoiding entry delay timers?

if you have a user menu, as with Texecom premier you should have the facility to test the bells by entering your code and pressing menu.

but again, unless you have access to the engineers menu your snookered.
