Hi,
Over the weekend we noticed the alarm didn't seem to be working. Turned out its working fine, but the internal sounder, (a Elmdene INT500) is not working..
If we arm the system it used to emit a squark, same on disarming..
Not it just emits a very small clicking noise..
I removed the cover, and the wiring is very simple.. There are just 2 wires connected to the alarm box:
Under normal conditions, the Sounder seems to be held at 0v, 12v during the alarm..
After a bit of investigation, I connected it all back up and it seems to be working again.. But after about 30mins it went back to just clicking during arming.. Cover off again, this time i checked over some of the Caps on the board.
Long story but, if short one of the caps in the sounder, it works for about 30mins. After 30mins it goes back to just a faint click. Shorting it agian, and its back for 30min..
So, my questions would be:
Is it wired correctly with just 2 wires?
Should I replace like for like? (fit the current holes) Or is there another internal sounder for the lightsys that people would recommend?
Thanks
