Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Is the transformer secured nice and tightly inside the panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they fitted on the alarm installers favorite type of wall (drywall) ? If so the transformer humm will resonate through a metel (?) case rather well. Not good practice but I used to put a soft material under the transformer mounting lug if it became a problem. Try and make sure it's non-combustible! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

Alarm Co Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 thanks guys for the reply like i say we fit around 5 to 10 a week and we fit them to dry lined walls no probs on the majority but the odd one or two it is realy bad we have tried the usual tighten untighten the screws in the psu but i realy believe the plates in the psu are warpped or become warpped due to heat ? one engineer spent over an hour on one because it was in the ladys bedroom cupboard you know wot i mean when there trying to sleep and theres a buuzing trany in the wardrobe next to them but no honestly this is a realy bad buzzing like a tattoo gun some one here has got to come acros it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Has the quiescent system current drain been checked? it may be running to high due to a cable/component or overload of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems here with them, fitted a "few". Have you checked what dry lining fixing are being used? Could be the cause if they are not tight if your using toggles. Just a guess.

Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yep here too, had same problem with texecom panels, they have since modified the fixings on the txfm Now they are silent, I would say do not fit in any bedroom, bad move, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rjbsec Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Now they are silent, I would say do not fit in any bedroom, bad move, Have to agree there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luggsey Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 El cheapo transformers with not enough laminates to stop those big currents whoosing around them, forgotten what the effect is called now but for a tiny input current a massive current circulates around the transformer causing a buzzzzzzzzzzzzz. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!
