Adding PIR to Texecom premier - turning off bellbox

ln1234 · 24 Jan 2011

I've recently installed a premier 24 with 3 PIR's and external sounder, and I wanted to know how I disable everything to add some new door contacts. I'm comfortable with using the engineer code and turning off mains power / disconnecting the battery, but how do I stop the external bellbox from going off? The strobe manual mentions something about a hold-off mode but that isn't very clear to me.

cheers

Have a look at the bottom of page 18 of the Installation Manual , it tells you how this is done with a Texecom bell.Not sure if this facility is still available on newer versions of the panel, but it does tell you how to do it.

Thanks

I've done a bit more research, and I think the way to do it is to turn the strobe on and off on the bell 3 times to put it into hold-off mode. Apparently earlier versions of the premier panels would do this automatically when you go into engineer mode but the new ones don't do this.

Does that advice sound correct? If so, when you initiate the strobe, am I correct in assuming no sound comes out of the bellbox? I'd like to work on the alarm without waking the neighbours!

cheers

Yes , thats correct.

After the hold-off mode has been initiated, will the bellbox remember this state if power is turned off on the panel (both mains and battery) so that new zones can be added?

Yes .
