Anyone here know a thing or two about these bell boxes?

 

Just connected to a Dimension panel, outputs 1001 and 1002 for bells and strobe, bells working fine but the strobe isn’t activating when testing outputs.

 

First time I’ve installed one of these (only the old Odyssey series and never had a problem) and I was surprised when the siren didn’t sound briefly before going into the “special engineer mode” when first connecting to the panel.

 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

 

 

Perhaps it has something to do with these output contacts? I’ve installed several G2 systems which didn’t have this “relay” type affair on these outputs. There’s a common, a NO and an NC. I have connected to the NC contact (just to the right of bells 1001).

 

I’m going to post a very small section of the output diagram, I hope I’m not breaking any rules.

Thanks for the confirmation ?

Why don't you just use proper output instead of relay?

 

Is an output available and programmable for strobe? 

It could be said that you should programme the strobe output as bell, so if the alarm activates and stops 15 minutes later, no one will know the alarm has activated and not been reset. (As the strobe is no longer flashing)
