Its been a while since my last request for help though work commitments have stalled my home projects of recent - however my alarm system is pretty much finished - though I added a live bellbox (the original being a dummy) Its a fairly vintage novagard 2 (twin sounder)
All seems ok when testing (default 3m bell delay and a missing 0v link to the strobe relay at the panel caught me out initially) but I have since read that one of the sab modules tamper connections should be connected to 0v.
That cant happen with the galaxys detection loop.
I have set up a zone on my galaxy panel dedicated for 'bell tamper' and have wired it as such too, i.e. with a series and parallel 1k resistor at the tamper feed and return connections at the sab module - Opening any bell tamper activates the sirens and also reports as bell tamper at the panel, so all is fine? Its just that the literature for this sab states that this connection should be wired to 0v (unless a serial mode is used etc..) but the literature does not include Honeywell panels (Galaxy 18 in my case..) and although all does seem ok, I'd still appreciate if anyone can shed some light here...

tommy
