Does anybody out there know which links to cut on a 2 year old CQR optima siren to allow it to go of for longer than 5 seconds.

There appear to be 4 links which I guess give different timings for the bell.

Do you mean Cequra?

No - It must be Ultima and I mis-read it on the PCB. The guts are probably the same though.

I got called out to reprogram a system and this is the only thing I couldn't sort.

The person that Installed it obviously didn't test the bell as it only goes off for 10 seconds.

I have info sheet for the Integra ,may be of some use .. it has 4 links:

all links in ..3 mins

cut yellow ..10 mins (LK0)

cut yellow + green 20 mins

cut yellow green + blue 40 mins

cut all links , timer disabled

Thanks for the info.

Why does this bell only go off for 10 seconds; Is the White wire some sort of hold off?

White wire ? there's no mention of a white wire on my sheet , but its an old one.It could be sounder mode , sab/scb select, eng/test mode.I'm sure Linda (Affinity)will help you out when she's next online.

You mentioned that it's got 4 links.

The 4th one is White and away from the other 3.

What does this one do as all these links are still in?

Sounds likely that it could be a test ...cut it and see! you can always solder it back up.

On the Cequra , the pcb is printed with the function of the link , and the test link is coloured black.

I could be wrong but i think the white wire was there to chose whether you wanted the LEDs to be on constant or flashing - they removed this feature in the PLUS version (as i found out when i fitted one recently!). either that or its the engineer test link.

On the Ultima the link are:

cut White for continous LEDs

cut Black for 5min

cut Black/Yellow for 10min

cut Black/Yellow/Green for 20min

If non of the links are cut the siren will cut off after about 5 seconds
