The bellbox is faulty on our alarm system and I want to replace with new box.

Please advise:-

1. Do I need to power off control panel completely before unwiring existing box.

2. Sequence for powering eveything back on after wiring new box.

Thanks very much in advance for your help.

How do you "know" it's the bell box?

Can you recommmend a decent box ?

Hi , replacing bell boxes (or the wiring ) is gonna be your problem, most are wired differently from make to make and although most will work with most panels , you will find that alot of "professionals" don't really understand them either.

The common stock answer to alot of questions on here seems to be get a proper engineer in , and in this case i think that would be your best bet .

Thanks Angus

I agree that if you could afford an engineer that would be the best option but as I said in the other post your panel is extremely common (no offence), Texecom sounders are reliable and well priced in my experience.

Most come with connection diagrams and almost all will be compatible with your panel.
