Deltaseven Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Possible that its faulty - but it has never happened on one I have fitted (and I've fitted a few). More likely is that there is a cable fault / misconnection or programming error. Disconnect the wire which you have connected to the S terminal (probably easiest at the panel end at first) If it stops the strobe, you have a programming or connection fault at the panel. If it carries on, discon at the bell end, and press in your tamper switches. If it carries on you have a faulty bell, if not, a cable fault. Good luck.

mjw Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 There was a time when we had several texecom bells do this, but we haven't had the problem for a year or 2... but my money is on a faulty bell.Paul Could be the strobe output could be programmed wrong/connected incorrectly?????

breff Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Disconnect the strobe trigger at the panel first, if it stops flashing then you have a problem with the output or programming. If it doesnt stop disconnect it at the bell, if it then stops chances are you have a short on the cable, if it doesn't its a faulty bell. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

The problem to that is the instruction not to open the bell for at least 3 minutes after the last flash because of the potentially high voltage from the strobe.

breff Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The instruction is not to remove the cover to the SAB unit, Not the bell cover. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
