gerryporter Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi Unable to switch off strobe, even in day mode. Disconnected 6 wire cable to bellbox, and reinserted link in T- A, but 12v still showing on strobe + - in panel. Spoke to technical support, and advised to reset to factory mode. Still the same problem. There are no zone or tamper faults showing, but when pressing the keypad, the high sounder is heard. Also when entering zone 1 "entry, exit" the alarm activates straight away ( when the alarm is set ) Please can anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave the alarm man Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 if its been fully defaulted & still play up yes, i assume with battery & all powered devices off all zone linked it still a wrong 'un? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryporter Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yep with bellbox cable disconnected, battery disconnected in panel, factory defaulted, it still shows 12v for strobe on panel output, and the panel is in day mode and not showing tamper or zone faults.

Guest Dave the alarm man Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 BTW ade's flash the strobe in walk test B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 is this not simply a fault which has not been cleared by reseting on these panels? clear the zones/tampers, reset any panic buttons, press reset on the panel and see if voltage is still on the strobe output. finally if all else fails call a local engineer in, as we tend to be quit good at these 'faults' B) . regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

gerryporter Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Problem is everything has been reset. but the 12v stays on. Able to set alarm as stated above. but when using keypad the sounder is very loud ! The problem is the joke is on me, I am the engineer and the alarm is in my house.
