dave36 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave36 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) 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 December 3, 2018 by dave36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 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 Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

dave36 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 so here is the pic of the bell box, but I think its knowing where to put the wires in the galaxy 48 that the issue. Also I presume I have to program the galaxy outputs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 a zoomed out one? yes you will need to program 2 outputs. One as bell the other as strobe Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

GalaxyGuy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This is the wiring on a Dimension with default programming for outputs 1001 (bell) and 1002 (strobe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave36 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 That's great many thanks I will give this a go - where does the white tamper wire go - into the 0v ? with the black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave36 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Sorry, the white wire goes to the other tamper connection. However with many thanks to you all the bell and tamper are now working fine, the strobe doesn't work but its not too important. I can't see a reason as to why the strobe isn't working unless the wire is in the wrong place or it is set wrong under outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably outputs I don't get it why is white going to the other tamper terminal? And where does it go in the panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave36 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 the white wire goes to a terminal just above the blue wire in the photo and both are marked T. on the panel I've put it in the far right terminal with the 0v wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get it The white wire goes to a tamper terminal Then the other terminal should be like led to zero volts unless your using more than one bell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 If both are marked T, then either take the white back to 0v in the panel too, or just remove the white wire and place a wire link from that 'T' connection in the siren to the black 0v in the siren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
