Hi sparxxxx & EFLImpudence, Thanks for your advice and help, So the question is, whats the best way of sorting this out in my situation so I can swap these to smart switches/dimmers? If I find the juction box, would I need to alter the way its connected? or is there something simple that can...

Thanks for your speedy reply @sparxxxx I'll try to locate this, fingers crossed its in the loft. Regards, Jake

Hello Everyone, I hope someone out there can help please. Basically I have two way switching for my top landing light which can be controlled from the switch downstairs, and can be controlled from upstairs. The switch has become ancient and I have managed to change all my switches upstairs and...

Fab! Thanks for confirming that sparkymarka! :) Kind Regards, Jake

Hey Everyone, I'm on the last part of replacing my old accenta 6 with the new Accenta Mini G4, pirs working, panel working, all tampers fine and lastly, just had to mount up and install 2 new sirens as the Accenta Mini G4 kept freezing with my old sirens. The issue I have now is with the new...

Hi Handymanjo, 1) Yes, with the bell box disconnected and the wire link in T and A, the panel and keypad work perfectly. As soon as insert the strobe, Bell +, and Bell - and switch it back on, the whole system freezes and wont start up. 2)I don't think the bell box is faulty as they both...

No Luck :( Tried to link out the T and A but the bell box is still causing the panel to freeze up, guess im going to have to shell out for 2 new ones :( Kind Regards, Jake

Thanks for your reply Handymanjo, The back bell box is disconnected at the moment from the panel (and i'm pretty sure the backup battery is flat in the bell box as I had to let it drain down during the panel change;unless it stopped itself after the 20min window) I'm just trying to work with...

Thanks for your reply Handymanjo, Yes, you could be onto something regarding the tamper wires. I'm so tempted to try it out now to see if it works but i'll wait till the morning. I will definitely do one job at a time, hopefully if one gets going the other should be a breeze. The keypad works...

You've been really helpful, Handymanjo, thanks for your reply. Yes, I can confirm that both bell boxes are exactly the same. I can't confirm whether they are both wired exactly the same (I just cant get to the bell box at the back of the house, only the front) I'm 99.9% certain it probably is...

Hey Everyone, Just needed some advice, basically I've moved from an Accenta 6 and upgraded to a Accenta G4 Panel with an LCD keypad. Everythings gone well so far, pir's are working, internal siren working, door contacts all good, so the last step I wanted to do was hook back up the 2 bell boxes...

Hey Everyone, I've just replaced my old accenta 6 panel alarm with the a new G4 panel and everything seems to have gone well, keypads working..etc However I just wanted to do a walk test and upon going into the menu, it keeps beeping away and showing all 1's on the display. It doesn't give me a...

Thanks for your reply Handymanjo, Will definitely take a photo of the control panel as it looks like a spaghetti junction! Wish they were all labelled up but I guess i'll just have to do it. I'm pretty sure each bell box comes back to the control panel (as there are 2 pairs of wires in each...

Fantastic, Thanks Handymanjo! This sounds like a good idea, I've purchased a new battery to use with the new G4 system, just hope its got enough charge already in it to keep them from ringing. Kind Regards, Jake

Hey Everyone, I hope someone out there can help me, basically I have an old Accenta 6 (with LED keypad alarm system) with 2 external sirens. Recently the alarm system has been triggering off randomly and has been playing up lately (keypad not responding at times, different zones triggering off...
