john01 0 Posted March 21 Advice please. I was changing the battery on the Veritas 8. When I pulled out the earth lead from the old battery, The alarm went off (mains power was off). I put power back on and reset alarm to kill the external siren. I then noticed that the black and red wire wound together at the bottom left of picture was loose. Don't know whether it never was in a terminal or i knocked it out when i pulled the battery wire. Does anyone know where this wire goes please? Thanks in advance john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterJames 499 Posted March 21 Earth lead? Where does the red and black come from? You have nothing it the strobe terminal but I cant imagine both red and black would come from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john01 0 Posted March 21 Yes Thanks Peter, I saw that empty terminal and did wonder but the terminal screw is very undone as if there never was anything in there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixwheeledbeast 399 Posted March 21 I assume by earth you actually mean the black negative battery lead. Battery lead terminals on a Veritas are marked as BATT + and - I can't see your image so not sure if you are talking about something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john01 0 Posted March 21 Yes sorry I meant to say negative on the battery. Can you see this picture? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterJames 499 Posted March 21 Not sure why the picture has gone it was a red and black wire twisted together lose in the panel. I would put everything back together a bit of tape over the wire and see if everything works, walk test bell test ect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john01 0 Posted March 21 I wasn't able to see behind all the wires unfortunately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixwheeledbeast 399 Posted March 21 I can't for whatever reason. You can attach images in the post if you need Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sixwheeledbeast 399 Posted March 21 Could be some part of the tamper circuit? Where does the other ends go? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john01 0 Posted March 21 I can't see the other ends, they disappear behind the panel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixwheeledbeast 399 Posted March 21 I'd guess it's part of tamper circuit then, clamp it with a small terminal block if so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john01 0 Posted March 21 Thanks for your advice. The alarm is working ok at the moment. So hopefully it's nothing too important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
