iSTORM Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The difficult part is that you dont know the colour code thats been used in the bell box end...... As said i'd pick up the bell box cable in the loft area and installl a new bell box.

muzzy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 is this the national installer that had a period where they only fitted internal sounders and externally they were just dummy bells? Think it applied to domestic signalled systems. just a thought.. muz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpye Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Good thinking mate, there were an awful lot of these installed in Domestics nationwide.Regards: Andy@Amman Security. So they fitted them with Strobes and NO sounders then? see O/P Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

muzzy Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Generally no it was just a suggestion as i browsed the Forum, you just may have to get to your bell box to see whats going on unfortunately. Or see o/p by istorm. muz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
