Hello one and all,

This is my first post here, having been an avid reader for the last week or so that I've been wiring up my new intruder alarm.

I now have everything wired up and have dealt with all faults on the panel, bar one: I cannot seem to solve a persistent "Bell Tamper" fault.

The equipment involved is:

Scantronic 9651 panel

ADE Reson8 bell box

Connected to each other via 6-core alarm cable

The panel and bell box have different names for the various terminals and their respective instructions don't explain how to connect up to each other. I searched this forum and found the answer here:

The panel just reports "Bell Tamper" the whole time though. Are the instructions at the link correct? Is there another way I should wire the two to eliminate the tamper fault?

Any help would be really gratefully received. I just need to sort this and then I can get programming!

Thanks!!

PS The manual for the Reson8 is here: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Ade/TSRESON8_Install.pdf

As post 2 on your link.

Are both status LED's working on the bell.

One shows Hold Off OK, the other Tamper OK.

Try linking a -ve to the tamper return terminal on the panel if this clears then it a problem with the bell .

Gentlemen (I'm assuming!)

Thank you very much for the prompt replies.

Your tips for testing it alerted me to a wiring issue which I have now fixed and the panel now displays "No Faults".

Many thanks to you both......now for some programming!

No problem .
