Accenta G3 Help Please


Peter Maloney

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

We have just moved into a new property and it is fitted with an Accenta G3 alarm system, my problem in that i have no external sounder volume at all, my internal ones sound but not external, could this just be a fault with the bell box itself or could this be a setting, when i read the manual and enter engineers mode i can do a bell test which activates the internal sounders on the keypads but nothing from the external, if i try to press low volume sounder / high volume sounder or walk test the panel just beeps and won't let these functions work.

 

Thanks for any help

Hi,

 

Many thanks for the reply, i have checked fuses and wiring seems fine, the house is only 4 years old so its not an old system, is there an easy way for me to test the output? other than getting the works van with ladders and actually going up to the bell housing with a new one....

 

Thanks again.

I'd suspect that at some point, for some reason, someone has gone outside and removed connections to the outside bell.

 

Just a hunch but I bet that at some point it 'wouldn't stop going off', so someone pulled  the power, then realised that the

outside bell 'wouldn't stop going off', so got a ladder and pulled all the wires out.

 

Also are you certain you have the engineer code rather than a user code? Two different things, apologies if you're aware but

many come on here and think they are one and the same. As you say a sensible thing is to try and test it from the inside first.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Hi,

 

Thanks for the help, yes it is the engineer code I am using, I might see if I can crawl into the loft space later and see the wires going through the wall and if they could be still attached, I don't have a ladder tall enough to get to the outside bell box but if needed I could get one from the work.
