Great I took some photos while I was there so can put them up as soon as, and dont worry I didnt really want to touch any of the connections before seeing the PCB schematic, or asking sum1 thats more familiar with the system!

Just write down the legends (a few letters and/or numbers) beneath each terminal at the warning device and also which terminals are connected to each other with a wire loop. Same on the panel.

The 'balancing resistor' should be 470 ohm (open to comment) 

 

 

4k7 ohms

AC In 

12v AUX

EXT Sounder

Int Sounder

Just as a test measure for the bell outputs, if I close loop sab with the terminal to the right with the black wire, with the 4k7 resistor in series this should allow me to test the +/- bell outputs?

Hi thanks, yeah understand this terminal, its just the sab, and the other just need to know iun order to test it can i just close loop it or will I need the resistor in series with the close loop if you get me

Also I've noticed theres no strobe, thinking it may be a gd idea to advise them to get a new control panel, sounder, and new detectors and keep existing door contacts as apparently these were changed recently, just the only other option in my eyes is to use the existing sounder without the battery and close loop the tamper, or to put a new sounder on which has a strobe which doesn't operate

The strobe output on these are programmable from any of the other 4 onboard outputs

I'd still advice replacing it tho, panel and Keypad are well obsolete now.

the other 4 onboard outputs?, you've lost me now, just im used to having all sounder connections grouped together, and with no access to the programming manual I've got no chance of programming that thing

Why dont you just set the system and see if the bell goes off once triggered, 

It's just I've got a job with this panel, everything seems to be working fine apart from the external sounder, noticed last guy wrote down the ext sounder battery was dead, looks like hes also close looped the tamper, & cable used is only a 4 core one!

 

tested system, with power disconnect, and battery disconnect ext sounder doesn't work on either 

 

SAB battery failure ?
