abbz Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Got called out to this today. Bell faulty and 15 min cut out not working. Removed power and had to leave on battery. God knows how long before that runs out. Told customer to call sign people out so we can access our bell. Can't believe how thick some people can be installing that sign over bell box.

datadiffusion Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Do those bells have huge 1.2Ah yuasas like the initial ones? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Still, I expect it'll last until at least 3am When I went back to an out-of-contract customer having a loft extension last week (I was there for 2 days in the end, in part due to what you're about to read), builders were about to attempt to chop around a twin alert and a smoke by moving them still attatched to the plasterboard!!

matt6697 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 did you not remove all the sounder connections from the panel?, usually they have a cut off point after 15 mins? need to knock off power, disconnect panel battery & then disconnect sounder cables, be careful not to touch the strobe connections as these can be around 300V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt6697 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 oh i see lol, maybe could do with some ear defenders and move the battery test link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbz Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 If I could remove the battery link I could replace the bell complete could I not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt6697 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 well that's what id do, always keep a spare sounder, on the other hand its a nuisance so would either do something with the link or even cut the cables from the battery inside the sounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
