I say should that is what it is supposed to do. So You really need to start at the external sounder, go outside and disconnect that first, otherwise you will upset your neighbors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only 9651 keypads on a 9651 I have a 9930 pad on there now from what I understand the 9943 works well and comes highly recommended for the 9651 panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Considering the mix up just with just your speaker, I would think twice about DIY. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
