When testing or acuating the Lynteck Universal bell box the sounders are very weak. The alarm system is a Accenta 6 about 5 years old.

I have changed the 12 v 2 ah accenta internal battery with no change.

The internal sounder operates normally.

I the problem corroded or bad bell box connections? An low Bell Box battery?

As accessing the Bell Box is difficult, can any member suggest solving a similar problem.

You could try reading the current by placing an ammeter in series with the bell trigger & the hold off voltage whilst the sounder is ringing. This will show if you have a current fault. You'll need to get the sounder current requirements from here: http://www.lynteck.co.uk/

If this is the case you should really look to swapping the sounder, but we may be able to cure the problem depending on your results.

If you're not a technician, give us your general location & someone may be nearby.

If the sounder battery is low then this will also give a reduced sound output.

I dont reckon you can escape getting up to the bell and checking it.
