norman Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hello Guest_paul, It could be a number of things, Check the lids on all your PIR's etc to make sure they are sound, It may also be the external sounder (have you had the rain lashing everyone else has had lateley?) have any cables been damaged? if you open your panel (if you feel confident enough) there will be a couple of terminals marked T, if you short these out, lid it back up, press reset and the tamper clears the problem lies in the global tamper i.e. the detectors. try that 1st Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

FASTCAR Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 If you have followed Steve's suggestions , you could try a cold reset: mains off , panel open , battery off (siren will sound) , mains on , battery on , panel closed , enter code , press reset.

Guest dale Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Im assuming you put the cover on the control panel, mebe try pulling the spring on the panel as this may just need stretching as its not pushing the tamper switch down enough, also there is one in the keypad, try stretching this also. Then press reset once you have put all the covers back on. If this doesnt work I would suggest calling an engineer as if its not a global fault and the springs are definately in place its either the bell box tamper (which requires ladders, and I would never recommend the public servicing bell boxes) or a faulty PCB, mebe a dry solder joint.

FASTCAR Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Why not link out the bell tamper at the panel ? BTW the service timer hasnt been activated has it?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dale Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 By linking out the bell tamper you will discover if the tamper switch in the bell is at fault, although it doesnt solve the problem, as if you leave the link in then your bellbox can be tampered with without causing an alarm.

Guest kenny james Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 hi. i noticed you said you have an odyssey 1e installed,if this is the case these bellboxes have their own engineer hold off built into them , to do this you need to activate the strobe to go off 3 seperate times within 30 seconds when you have done this if you look on your odyssey bellbox the right led will be flashing on its own, you then will have about 15 minutes to get up to the bellbox and open the box, when you have then opened up the bellbox your left led will then start flashing to let you know the tamper circuit is open , once you have done what you need to do put lid back on and then both led lights will start flashing in sequence faster than normal this will then go back to normal again after about a minute or 2 and then restore itself , ps: if both leds are working don,t bother going up with a ladder as it will not be a bellbox tamper fault anyway, also have you looked inside your keypad has one of the tamper wires come loose inside it which can happen!!. if you do not have the engineer code to activate the strobe you can simply connect up the s (strobe) wire to the 0v inside the panel and this will activate strobe for you. hope this helps.
