Galaxy 48 external bell/siren/box connections

Featured Replies

Hi

 

Hope that someone can help - I've just moved into different premises and there is a galaxy 48 on the wall, but all the cables had been disconnected. Well I've figured out the keypads and the detectors but there is a six core cable going to the bell box and I am having trouble with it to say the least!

Obviously (I think) that red is +VE and black is 0v,  blue and white seem to be tamper which leaves green and yellow. But when I connect them the siren either remains silent or goes off constantly.

So am I connecting to the correct place? the RIO outputs, or do I need to fit resistors?

 

Apologies if this is a stupid question. all my previous alarms were far less complicated :-)

 

 

 

You really need to open the external siren to note the connections.  No resistors are required, so it's likely that your guess at the wiring isn't correct.

Hi

Green wire to str, yellow to bell, red and black to + and - blue and white to T

 

under that there are some jumpers pos/neg, sab/sbc batt sel int/ext

 

although the bell doesn't have a manufacturer on it the pcb is marked RPCB488 v H

 

 

Edited by dave36

we can identify it from a pic

but

bell is the trigger so that will go to an output programmed as bell

t is the tamper return

a zoomed out one?

yes you will need to program 2 outputs. One as bell the other as strobe

No outputs default? I suppose op probably changed them anyway

Blue tamper , can't see what white is doing though

 

Have you got a picture on the 48 side I have feeling your connected to wrong connections

This is the wiring on a Dimension with default programming for outputs 1001 (bell) and 1002 (strobe)

That's great many thanks I will give this a go - where does the white tamper wire go - into the 0v ? with the black
