Bradders1664 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hello I am installing an ADT/Elmdene bell box (external sounder) in a Honeywell Galaxy 3-48C panel. I'm fine on the wiring but the bell box has EOL tamper resistors in it and need to cut the right link to ensure the EOL resistance is correct for the unit to function correctly. Anyone know what is the right resistance is for the Galaxy system? Options are 0, 1k or 4k7 ohms. There is also a tamper cascade link. The instructions from Elmdene and Honeywell don't mention the resistance for the bell box nor the tamper cascade. Thanks in advance, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Carlo Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Just to test it why not "Don't connect the tamper return of the siren at the panel, and put a permanent -ve there" and see is the panel happy. If it is, you can then cut all but the black. Galaxy uses 1k for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Carlo Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) 1 hour ago, james.wilson said: i dont think it does for the sabt thats a hard 0v unless using a circuit Yes, which is why I said Just to test it why not "Don't connect the tamper return of the siren at the panel, and put a permanent -ve there" and see is the panel happy. If it is, you can then cut all but the black. Edited May 6 by Monte Carlo correct typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So still guessing Zero is answer end of , if it doesn't work then something is faulty If panel not happy then faulty or something If bell not happy then faulty or something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders1664 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Hi all Thanks for your responses. My gut-feel was zero ohm but the 1k ohm standard for the Galaxy panels was causing me to consider 1k ohm. I'll go with zero ohm The 8 core alarm cable is from TLC-Direct btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
