ive installed texcom panel with 3 expanders i need to wire the bell box via one of the expanders + ov strobe bell tamper

any one know the best way to do this off expander please?

 

Hopefully you have a power supply in there somewhere.

3 Expanders without a bell at the end is already a fair amount of current.

Either way it's a good idea to use Low Current and/or SCB mode on the Bell, so you don't drag the expanders down.

 

Program Expander Input as Bell Tamper, wire Return to input.

Power from the Aux.

Trigger in an output programmed a Bell SAB

yeah got psu right next to the expander in which im using for the bell(sab)

so 12v and ov to aux 12v aux on expander

tamp to aux input on expander and program as bell tamper

bell to output on expander and program as bell sab

???

take it theres nothing to get the strobe off in expander so just loop over in sab off the bell.?

take it theres nothing to get the strobe off in expander

Funny enough an output programmed as strobe might do it

don't do what i've lost count of putting right on services and wire the tamper return to an OUTPUT on the expander...
 

Why would any competent engineer wire the tamper return to an output?

You'd be surprised what you see out there...

Maybe one day I would have been. Would you believe a job today we had where the subby had backed to backed 2 dts but instead of looping the cores through just cut them off at detector 1 and wondered why detector 2 wouldn't work.

My Fav is a pair of 25mm CMC's with metal cap,

One leaf works the other did'nt, the spaz had managed to make of both ends off on the same cable,

3ft of cable in void above the frame both ends made off onto the same cmc
