Still the best idea to pull the fuse out the FCU Are you? I would always recommend that the mains is isolated before the panel is opened as I would expect any competent engineer to recommend there are live terminals on the transformer and the psu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your willing to take the risk of many hours/weeks learning on the job and no guarantee of a working alarm at the end of it. Words of caution if you do DIY:- External bell strobe unit has very high voltage, this and having to disconnect a sounding box on the wall up a ladder is not the most pleasant experience when you have no idea what you are doing. Be careful. Obviously the control box has mains voltage in best to isolate if your not good with electrics. Thanks sixwheeledbeast but having just rewired most of my house and had it NIC inspected with no problems I am happy to take this my speaker issue earlier was from on my looking at the product from a picture and being of the belief that I had and internal sounder as well as an external one having followers yours and others advice that part of the system has been reinstated and working great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At college you would be advised never to open a panel without isolating the mains first. I know that engineers do but they do it under their own risk.
