Many thanks. All sorted. One of the rotary switches was slightly off. D'oh.

I have just replaced the old keypads on my Galaxy Flex 50 with a pair of new Mk7s. I had not expected to run into difficultites, but.. I entered Engineer mode, removed the first old keypad, replaced it (taking care to wire the same way (red to +, Black to -, Green to A and White to B.. and...

That looks extemely cool- thank you- I'll have a read through, and stay calm!

Thanks! I love the idea of expanding the functionality of my system, but in renewing and programming my new panel, I am already well out of my zone of expertise / knowledge, and heavily reliant on the generosity of you and others on this forum for advice tht one would normally expect to pay...

Thanks for the advice; I found that I'd incorrectly reset the output of *99 to Horn; have now changed it to E/E Horn, and all is back as it was before I started fiddling! This leaves me with the original issue that i was trying to resolve.. When I am in the back lounge (watching TV), having...

Hi, I previously received advice to reprogram my Entry Exit horn from its default to stobe or intruder, and have just now got round to doing this. I also turned off the keypad mimic function (via 58.7) at the same time, but the net result is that the EE sounder then became silent when the system...

Thanks for the help, GalaxyGuy. Re point 2, I wanted to keep sounder volume high so I can hear the front sensors activate the chime while at the back of the house. I'll try programming the horn output to strobe as you suggest- may come back with questions if I get stuck with this! Thanks for...

I've upgraded from an old Galaxy 16+ panel to a Flex 50, and have a few questions that I can't find answers to in the manual..Hope somebody can help? 1. Following the unset procedure, the panel displays 0=OMIT ZONES, whereas I'd ideally like it to revert to the standard banner, rather than the...

I have an old Galaxy 16+ panel in a metal box, and will shortly replace the blue and yellow ADT bellbox. You are welcome to both for free, if you are happy to pick up the shipping cost..?

Many thanks Galaxy Guy- your note on the tamper switch helped me to sort out the problem. Greatly appreciate your patient support and expertise!

Thanks. Before I add a wire link, checking the wiring between panel and bellbox sounds like a good idea (if it was wrong, it would also explain why the output test is not activating siren or strobe). The connections seemed straightforward- but that doesn't necessarily mean I've got it right...

OK, Having reinstated the wiring for the bellbox and horn, I'm getting a reading of 10V between the 0V and Tamper terminals. You mention a wire link; Do you mean that I should add this in addition to the connections to the bellbox and leave it in permanently? And if I do so, do you expect this...

Just rechecking the voltage- what I reported a few minutes ago is correct. there is 13V vetween the Tamper and 0v on the output block, with no wires connected to these terminals on the panel. Also, just to add that I picked up the 12V power (joined via the connector blocks) for all peripherals...

Thanks very much. The cold restart did ask for county defaults- i was just surprised that the panel remembered the date and time settings, as I'd expected these to be wiped along with the setup.. Resistance across the E/E horn is 9 ohms. Now that I;ve reversed the connections as you advised...

I'm not sure how to check what kind of speaker / horn is installed.. But in any case have now reversed the horn connections as you suggested (thank you) and did a full cold restart (51.17.4) to try to clear the error message. I then left the panel disconnected from power and battery overnight...
