Atilla, read my posts properly before replying. Your comments about part P are wrong. DIY users are not regulated or inspected......unlike professional alarm installers. Anyway.....this is a DIY forum!!!!!!!!!

Professional alarm companies have to comply with BSEN regulations & normally installers use 6 core for the bell box................I said probably............................! As far as my comment about using whatever cable you want i am right. There are no regulations that prevent a DIY...

Is this what we want....? An un elected governing body (EU) making the rules up as they go along. In 1973 UK voted to join the common market, why has it evolved to a runway train? Time to get out!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a failed lock. You need a replacement. I do not think that this type can be purchased from B&Q or Wickes. If you cannot find an exact replacement then you realy should call a locksmith in because it could go pear shaped & cost more in the long run.

The panel needs re setting and reprograming. Best get an alarm engineer to do this & as it a rented property it is up to the landlord to sort out & pay for.

If its a large job you might want to consider "stage payments" This will reduce any loss you may have due to non payment & it will help your cash flow.

You can use 4 core cable ok. If you were a company that is inspected so that you comply with current standards you would probably require a re wire. But as it seems you are a DIY customer you can use whatever cable you want for the 12v DC part. As far as the 230V AC you are prohibited...

A lot of alarm panels already installed out there have the bell cut off timer but the strobe continues to activate until the alarm is switched off by the code. Where do i leave my spittoon?

Excellent advice............stick with the wired over the wire free. The only wire free to consider is the stuff from Scantronic.......ion16!

Probably best to get an alarm engineer in, especially as you are going on holiday soon. You don't want to ruin your holiday.

hsmith824 your post probably wont help as the origional post was for something better than a 'puny115 db' bell box and your link was for an even punier 109 db Texecom 1E. Louder bell boxes are available, but at a price premium.

I cannot give you an exact price for testing & repairs, however, the last time i repaired a 9448 it cost £150.00 for a replacement bell box, panel battery, reprograming & commissioning. You can deduct the price of the battery but expect to pay around £100.00 to £125.00. Try to get a...

If you contact a local alarm installer and ask to buy a replacement bell box i am shure they would oblige. Elmdene do a 118db sounder which is loud & piercing (ear defenders required) You should be able to buy it for around £50.00

You need to call a locksmith in. Locksmiths get this type of call often & it is easy for professionals to sort out with the correct tools. You need a replacement gearbox at least.

If you open up the alarm controll box (recommend disconecting mains 230v before opening) you will find the zone wiring terminals marked 1-2-3. you will note that each has two terminals to each zone. If you disconnect the pair to zone 3 and replace it with a wire loop you will clear the fautt...
