Thank you for that great reply; I was actually up the ladder when you sent it so great timing! There were two issues that were causing the problem; firstly I hadn’t tied run- to 0v in the box, so it was going off after the 2 mins delay. Secondly the screw on the outer cover which triggers the...

So I’ve tried the suggestion and still no dice. I’ve tried with and without the scb jumper in place - when out the A terminal allows 13v out across bell+ and itself. But only when the alarm is triggered does the bell- or strobe- output 13v between bell+ and their terminals. Anything else I...

Brilliant thanks! Will let you know how I get on!

I only have 4 wires running to the bell box so can’t connect the return as well unless I loop strobe- and bell- at the bell box and then I can use the spare for return- instead?

Ok great, thank you will try again tomorrow… I thought I needed to keep the scb terminals (t&a) shorted

Sorry to sound even more stupid…but when You say yes is that the wiring I have said is correct or the removal of the scb shorting link or yes to both lol :)

Thanks for that; being stupid can you confirm i'm right on my understanding? Controller---------------------------- Bell Box D (Bell +)---------------->------------ Supply 12v+ A (SCB)------------------>------------ Supply 0v B (Bell -)----------------->------------ Trig- (Bell) S (Strobe...

hopefully this diagram helps - top is how the original setup was wired, bottom is how i last tested with the new bell box; with this wiring the box stayed powered after disarming the system, but after the 2min engineer delay it went off and couldn't be disabled via the keypad (and no errors on...

Thanks for replying! Basically i've removed the old bell box that contained a direct wired siren and direct wired strobe, and want to replace it with the AU1000WBX instead. I just don't know how to wire it to work - i assume the new bell box is needing a different signal to the one being sent...

I am trying to help my elderly neighbour make good his old alarm system whilst doing some work on our semi detached houses. The system appears to be a Honeywell Accenta variation - quite odd, as the case appears to be from a Challenger G4 (outside label just has "Challenger" on it), but the...

Thanks for the info, I wanted to check if I needed to add battens above and below the window like the newer ones as it currently doesn’t have them

I’ve managed to straighten out all the flattened panels of the original flashing kit, and have the replacement foam already. But I can’t find an install guide for the old flashing kit as I know it’s not been done properly, and want to make sure it goes on right this time!

Hmm lowering might be difficult as it only just clears the seat now (steel beam Runs perpendicular to it). Is there any way I can raise the flashing instead?

Thanks for the advice @catlad - appreciated! I’ve done some more work and it’s turned into a bigger job, some horrendous botched work underneath. The tiles! I’ve decided to replace the areas of damaged felt while I’m out there, I still am not sure if there is something wrong about the flashing...

I know it needs replacing, unfortunately not having a job for the last two years has kaiboshed that and a potential roof replacement for the foreseeable - so I’m left with trying to make good with what have. Not ideal but it is what it is…
