Hi, Mr Happy and Al-Yeti, I appreciate the sound advice you have both been kind enough to give.I will do the inevitable and go to a local alarm company and buy the best unit that will work with my existing 2,wires. Take care and all the best.

Hi sixwheeledbeast, Why do I need to look at the bigger picture, to just change the outside sounder. Al- Yeti has said I can use any external bell,as there are only 2, wires that power it.

Hi Al- Yeti, Thank you for your help.

Hi Global Moderator, Thank you for your answer.I was really just wondering if I could do a straight swap using the existing 4,wires.Is that possible. ai-yeti, If you read my questions it was not to test the panel or anything else.I simply asked what I could exchange my non working bell too.

The alarm works perfectly fine.It is just the outside bell does not sound when the alarm is activated.There are a red and a black going to the existing bell.And only the tamper loop wires to the micro switch.That is all the wires in the outside bell box.

Hi Sorry if I addressed you by the wrong name.Why would replacing the bell be a waste of time.The alarm works perfectly fine.It is just the external bell does not ring when the alarm is activated.

Come on guys please give me some help on this, thank you.

Hi Every body.I have just registered and would like to ask a question please. I have an excisting alarm.The alarm works fine, but the outside bell sounder does not operate when the alarm is activated.I have removed the bell,(which is very old and a circular bell inside the bell box).I would have just liked to replace the round bell, but it is proving quite difficult to replace with another round bell.There are only for wires into the bell box red and black to the bell and blue and yellow are tamper and go to a micro switch that is activated then the screw is removed from the bell box. Could somebody please tell me as the wiring is so basic what type of bell box I could replace it with or where I can buy a round bell to go in the existing bell box.
