Thanks for your reply. It is the Reson8 that is making the unusual sound. I don't own a meter (yet) so can't take readings at this stage. I have had this panel running the same Reson8 sounder as sounder 2 and a Pyronix Belle as sounder 1 in the past (in the old house) and that setup worked OK...

Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention that I did also try the other way round (Sounder 2's neg hold off (Green) wired to A at panel. Sounder 1's tamper return (Yellow) wired to T at panel. The RTN- (white from sounder 2) and the neg hold off (Black from sounder 1) both meeting at the...

Hi. I have an issue wherein whenever I connect the tamper from sounder 1 (Texecom Odyssey 1E) to sounder 2 (ADE Reson8), the siren in sounder 2 makes a strained 'squealing' noise (not the normal siren sound). The panel is a Honeywell/ADE Accenta G4 Mini. The LCD RKP shows 'Tamper Fault...

Hi. A friend has recently moved house, and I decommissioned and removed the Accenta G4 Mini alarm system that I fitted for her a few years earlier. She would like me to fit this system into the new property for her. There is already an old panel (Texecom Veritas:cool: in the new property which...

Thank you both very much indeed for your kind help. Gary

Hi. Many thanks for your quick reply. I'd just like to clarify - do you mean yes I have the wiring right, and I do not need to use the microswitch connection? I can post some images from the Texecom Odyssey manual tonight if it will help. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Gary

Hi all. I have to wire up a Texecom Odyssey 1 sounder at the front of the house, and an ADE Reson8 sounder to the back of the house. The panel is an Accenta G4. This work is necessary due to a house move by my friend. I would like to ask if someone could please cast their eyes over my plans to...

I just went and checked and the panel does not have a speaker fitted - the RKP acts as the internal sounder. I did notice that after I had checked the other two PIR's and closed them again, the RKP still showed '2: Setting Fault - Hall' upon trying to set Program 1. I tried setting...

I have now also checked the remaining PIR's and their wiring is also in order. @sparkymarka - not a silly question at all - I hadn't thought of disconnecting the speaker. I will do that tomorrow and report back. Thank you.

I have an Accenta G4 mini panel running 4 PIR's, 1 PA button, 2 sets of door contacts and 2 bell boxes which are in SAB mode. I installed this system in December last year and it has been working fine up until about 1 month ago. Upon going to set the system under Program 1 which is the...

Thanks for the replies so far folks. I could tell that the setup didn't appear right when comparing it to a proper filling loop, but didn't realise it was against water regs. Unfortunately he always treats the prv like a drain valve whenever the system pressure needs lowering, so it too has...

Hello again folks. I'd like some advice please if I may? My Puma 100 combi never had a 'filling loop'. Instead, there is just a single isolation valve in between the mains feed (on the left of the picture) and what I presume is the CH loop (on the right. This is the 22mm pipework that goes...

I checked the plunger and it does go right to the end. I applied a bit of WD-40 as advised, and I managed to get it to fire staples and tack reliably when tested. It seems that the problem occurs if I put in more than around a 2'' length of staples. So I've been putting just short lengths of...
