good old AMCO,

 

the outside bow will start to ring (nothing wired on the panel)

 

the panel is also wired grey neutral, brown earth, black live !

Brown line - black neutral - grey earth but far from ideal I agree. Also 13A fuse but it is a test board I suppose.

Every system is different tho, what if there is no spur, I'm sure the average user would have more questions after watching than before.

Hi folks,
I took a break to update myself and :-
a) I've aquired the Galaxy 2 install manual which
b) informs me that a complete power down  of the system restores the defaults such as the default engineer code ######
c)The manual also indicates that the tamper alarm can be stopped using the user code so plan is now
d)Leave mains power on, remove cover (zapping tamper noise with user code), zap 12v battery connection, remove mains power fuze, whilst holding pillow over internal sounder until my 'jobbing' electrician gets the battery out if it sounds. External is dummy.
e)remove phone line
f) hopefully this will leave a default system readily accessible by anyone with the manual.

No doubt there will be cries that it won't work but that was never my style.
I'll report on events later.

remove mains power before opening lid,

remove battery within metal endstation,

any self contained bell (internal or external) will ring for 20mins if it has a cut out timer or until the battery is flat if it does not....

 

now sod off...... ?

 

 

 

I would be willing to buy the old system from you @meditek

Complete power down will not default the engineer code , hammer will be better for alarm
