Having had an omnicron 7000 with 30 year old technology I decided to Installed a Accenta gen4 alarm, plus a remote keypad. Labeled all the wires off the old alarm and transfered to the accenta.
Im no expert at alarms, but thought id give it a go. All works well, the pir, door contacts etc, except the alarm siren. Ive Measured the out put between the bell + and Bell - on test and its stays at 3.5v, whether the bell test is on or off. If i remove the wire going to the bell+ then the siren will go off and the leds on the siren are working too so it must be getting the power, so what could be wrong ? also if i power down and disconnect the battery the siren will also go off.
I thought by running thru the alarm test, on the rkp bell and switching it from on to off and vv, this would result in a change of voltage between the + and -, the same theory applied to the strobe + and - does register 13.5 volts rather than 3.5. I've also checked I have no bell delay set and am mystified what to next, would most appreciate any ideas or further test i can do to get this working
