Afternoon chaps, I'm after a bit of advice for a galaxy 520 system

 

The story goes...

 

It's a current working system that we have recently been taken over.

Problem was we have found that the bell box (SAB) has never been wired.

 

So we called on site today run a cable to the panel which was close by in a cupboard.

Went to wire to find that all 8 outputs (4x2) are already being used for the redcare.

 

So my thoughts were to pinch two cores off the cable going to another rio (207) joint through and use op 1 and 2 from Rio (207)

While Still taking  the 12v and ov from main panel and also tamper.

 

Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? 

 

Reason I ask...is because it didn't and I am currently scratching my head.

The outputs of 1+2 of the Rio 207 were already programed as bell/strobe.

 

Yet when wired all up I went to testing  menu-outputs -bell -strobe and neither would trigger on a test.

 

Any feed back would be great? Yes I understand that someone might find a easy solution buy I'm more a texecom kinda guy

 

cheers guys and stay safe 

 

 

You shouldn't take outputs from a different source then the devices supply incase the negatives aren't at the same potential.

Did you check the outputs changed state with a meter incase there was some area/group programming?

Fit RIO next to the panel or SCB mode the bell off the remote RIO, you'll have to mess with the tamper tho.

If a Dimension, fit the trigger header for the digi.
