sixwheeledbeast Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Aux + -, HO and ST over on the left would be may guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right, the sab i'm using is an MAS sabmaster module and ive tried wiring it up but it just blows a fuse in the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Have to ask: Why would you want to connect an alarm that old back up ? Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I would test with a meter first but I assume:- 12v+ = +ve 12v- = trig HO = -ve ST = tamp return B = beacon? strobe Failing that the 999 D'COM terminals are likely negative sinking panic and intruder.

The problem is the HO is not negative its positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 So it's for an old SCB then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 SCB where designed that way. Tamper return will be +ve if the HO is +ve, you can see the tamper link is still fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean scb mode uses internal battery to activate sounder and hold off is just charging And sab mode draws power from panel hold off when bell activated Both have a separate trigger Or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Self Contained Bell, uses it's own lead acid battery to sound the siren when triggered from panel. Self Activating Bell, uses the panel voltage to sound the siren when trigger is low, or "hold off" voltage is removed which "self activates" the bell from it's NiCd. Many modern SAB's have a SCB style mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd find SCBs in chubbs, AFAs, brocks and all that and you'd find SABs in thorns, Abels, modern alarms, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
