Hi,

I have just had my hall re-plastered and the plasterer removed my sounder for my alarm system (scantronic 9651) the problem is that he has removed the wires and there are now a green and a white cable (from the wall) and I'm not sure which one is the + (suspect that it's the white one)

Is this simple enough for me to re-wire or will I have to call out the engineer?

Many thanks

James

is it a sounder or a Loudspeaker ? sounder will have a printed curcuit board in it but a speaker (shut up Arf !) will usually just have a chocblock type connector ?

if its the latter then it doesnt matter but if its the sounder you will either need to check the same connections inside the panel OR test it with a test meter

if your alarms on service then you HAVE to pay the firm to call and do it - sorry

Thanks Anguscanplay,

It's the speaker with the chocblock connector.

So it's best to give the installation firm a call because it's under a service contract.?

You may get charged for this but it is better to give your service company a call to check the system.

yes but dont let em charge you LOL

nah as long as your sure its a speaker and that the cables are the correct ones stick it back together, I wouldnt be bothered but word of warning DONT LET THE GREEN AND WHITE TOUCH EACH OTHER AT THE ENDS while you decide what to do
