Pi on here Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Hi everyone just joined to hopefully get a problem solved, My real name is Tom and I've been a plumber all my working life and during that time fitted a couple of alarm systems to my own homes but, This one has me beat, Its a scantronic 9448 with a SDR-WEXT-00 Bell box and when I powered it up, The tamper light on the key pad is on, So I checked all the tamper loops and they are closed, They are the PIR's, bell box, I've not fitted a tamper to the door sensors, but the light stays on and so the alarm cannot be set, The leds in the bell box are flashing blue and I've posted a vid, Can someone tell me what I' missed ? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 probably the sab tamper there is more than the tamper loop, plus that wire to the sab shouldnt be visible Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Pi on here Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 ok thanks James , ok yea I understand that wire is visible but its too high for the opportunist and the pro is gonna go find an easier target ( thats my thinking anyway) so where is the Sab tamper ? the bell box tamper is working, I've tested it with my mulitmeter and the casing trip switch is working, i can hear the ' click' as i screw it up , Thanks for your response, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALso the sab tamper may be ok at the sab is it ok at the panel? Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Pi on here Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 I'm thinking the bell box wiring might be where its at because, its confusing, I understand the , 12v and 0v/grd , you can't go wrong there but the bell wire and strobe wire is not clear so I'm thinking, this is where I've gone wrong, does that make sense, I can provide pics but obviously I'll need to get the ladder out, can you instruct me what goes where please,, thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
