Guest Deryck Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi all, I've just updated my alarm to a Texecom Veritas 8R. + Associated External Bell Box System is working great but the Alarm Bell / Sounder isn't as load as my previous alarm. The old model had an internal sounder (phoenix Piezo) and I Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7148-veritas-8r-extra-internal-sounder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Because its a speaker not a sounder connect it to your appropiate terminals in the control panel marked LS- and LS+. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

Thanks for the reply However it is a sounder. It has very high resistance between red and black and as I say it does give a loud Warble when connected to 12 volts DC. Maybe its trying to draw too much current as it's an old model.

Adi Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Its a sound bomb then. I doubt its the current coz it blow the fuse if it was. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

Guest Deryck Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 When the "sound bomb" is connected and the alarm is inactive it ticks (Squeals). I am guessing that it has a slight voltage through it. Now after further tests when the alarm is activated it sounds off with the external one. then when the alarm is reset the ticking stops. So... Is this fixed ) I think a new internal sounder may be the only answer, but I'll leave this on for a while to see what happens. Thanks for your time Adi Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7148-veritas-8r-extra-internal-sounder/#findComment-65095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deryck Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 -- For info -- Replaced the old sound bomb with a new one. This has fixed the problem. My guess is the old version ( >15 yrs) is mainly composed of discrete components ie: transistors, diodes and capacitors etc and the new one is solid state. Who knows, but if I'd known how inexpensive these things are I Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/7148-veritas-8r-extra-internal-sounder/#findComment-65488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
