Eugene's DIY Den Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I installed an internal sounder last year which works fine. However I recently discovered that my external sounder isn't working. When I do a bell and light test 0#9, it checks out ok. I can't remember whether I disabled the sounder when I was working on the panel last year, is there a setting in the menu which enables external bell, internal sounder or both? I can't seem to find it. The external bell timer is set to the default 15 minutes.

Eugene's DIY Den Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have been doing some insulation installation, so cables have been moved around a bit. However if a core broke, wouldn't I know about it? E.g a report of a tamper fault or the bell would sound due to loss of 12V, ground or trigger? Hopefully if an internal sounder is installed, it doesn't disable the external one? That would be silly. Quote Talking Tools, a Facebook group for discussing anything tool/DIY related.

PeterJames Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 What happens when you remove the hold off? If the bell doesnt sound then its a faulty bell, if it does, then the next thing to try is put the trigger wire to 0v if it rings then its not the cable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bell are you using ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an HKC SABB bell according to the installation leaflet, not sure if there's additional model number codes, will check. Internal sounder is wireless, an HKC RF-Echo, what do you meam by "internal sound", the alarm sound?

Is there an option for internal sounder or external sounder or both enabled? I think possibly I disabled the external sounder and forgot to reenable it. I'll check the long form of the instsllation guide (working off the "system startup" menu diagram at the moment) Quote Talking Tools, a Facebook group for discussing anything tool/DIY related.
