Eavesy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So complete DIYER here needing some advice on a Veritas 8 system. Houshold alarm has two bell boxes one at front and one at rear of property. Wiring comes from panel in garage to bell box at the front and then goes from here through the loft to bell box at the rear. When alarm is set off front bell box does not alarm or strobe but bellbox at the rear does both. One thing to to note is only one green led is flashing in the box which I believe is a battery charging issue. anyone got any ideas with this initial information. checked all wiring connections in front box seem fine and must be as rear box is fine. Also checked battery in box by killing mains. And removing battery lead in panel again only back box sounds. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eavesy Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Take it your referring to the microswitch at the side which depresses when the box cover is replaced...? would the battery being dead make a difference to the bell working or not ??

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not sure why there is two whites in the terminal block, you need to take one MSW wire to the second box. I hope the other bell isn't SAB as you would likely blow the panel. One flashing comfort light means it's in hold-off mode with the tamper open.
