    Hi all, hopefully someone can sensecheck this.
     
    Due to my old bellbox being very old and the strobe failed, I'm trying to install a new Texecom X-BE bellbox to an Accenta G3 Panel.
     
    The original box had the following wiring;
     
    PANEL.   OLD BELLBOX
    SCB-A.     TAMPER
    SCB-T.      TAMPER
    NEG.         STROBE
    +               STROBE
    B.               SIREN
    D.               SIREN
     
    I have wired to the new bellbox as follows;
     
    PANEL.     NEW BELLBOX X-BE
    SCB-A.     A (12V)
    SCB-T.      (Unused as the bellbox is a neg strobe)
    NEG.         S (Strobe)
    +.               C (Tamp)
    B.               BELL
    D.               D (0V)
     
    On switching on the panel after installation, there doesn't appear to be any power to the bellbox and no activity at all. Does the wiring look correct?
     
    Also the old bellbox was a basic siren, strobe and tamper type. Should new new bellbox be in SAB or SCB mode?
     
    Many thanks for your help.
     
    Jeff.
    SCB-A.   -ve

    NEG.         stb

    B.             -bell     
    D.   
     
     
    the rest are not needed

    Hope this helps....

     

    panel.         bell

    +12v           hold off +

    0v.              hold off -

    bell.            TRIG

    Strb.           STB

    Tamp.         RTN

     

     

    Both boxes can stay as they are, because AG6s sound off their own batteries, No SCB mode required.

    Hi,

     

    I have a very old Optima 2 Plus alarm system which for my sins i have decided to get working again after many years of inactivity.

     

    The system was installed in 1995 I believe - we moved in some years after. 

     

    Anyway have now got most of tye system working again having made sure all PIR's are working and access / exit points are all fine.

     

    However the external bell box / strobe is not working - it's as old as the alarm itself.

     

    so the question is can i source a like for like replacement / repair tye existing unit (not that i know how to)

     

    Best Regards

     

    Mike

     

    oops, didn't mean to comment anything

    Still see the original optimas just plodding on, de commissioned a logic 4 the other week was working fine until i tested a full set and waited for the entry time to expire finished my brew waiting and filled out the paperwork, got the panel change booked in and was still waiting :lol: first panel installed was a menvier TS510 still remember the entry timer tone and fire tones it made 

    i have the same issue with a logic 4, entry time never ends.

    i had a chat with the owners yesterday, he said there are even pressure mats at the bottom of each window! apparently the system was installed in 1990, the company that originally fitted it is now long gone.

    it hasnt been used for about 10 years, they stopped using it because it always falsed etc. 

    all the doors in the house have recessed contacts, quite a lot of the doors have been swapped etc. and contacts havnt been put back again.

    quite a few wires stick out in various places so occasionally it goes off when hoovering etc.

    it hasn't had any maintenance since the day it was fitted 30 years ago.

    trying to find the tamper fault would be like chasing a rat in 100 acre field, there are so many reasons why this system should be shut down! 

    there are 2 live external sounders, hopefully the backup batteries have died.
