No it was a master something a company which has closed down, it had been in house since i bought it the last person hadent installed it, (i wonder why?) hence i tested it it worked and i installed it. after 2 days of it working the control pannel had given up. and when it did work i was having a lot more false calls.

Anywyay thankyou admin i had forgotten the global anti tamper loop.

Now ive got a nother problem that is when i exit engineers mode it sets off on the bell tamper. Bell unfortunately only has 3 wires again a red a black and a white.

red and white are positive and black is earth. White is positive for the siren and red a small led near the siren. dos anyone know what wires go where.

for future refrence 3 wires are an evil bodge

its just a siren in box......... you really should buy a proper one

Think you should be replacing the devices and the bell also, you have no gauarntee that it was just the panel playing up. Your making the effort to sort it, so changing a few devices will help you in the long term.

What terminals does the inside of the detectors have? can you post a picture of the inside of the detector?

Security Master TP800....throw it.
