No chance of finding j box she would kill me. Brand new fitted carpets upstairs that's why I was going to connect the pairs and run the cable with connected pairs up the ladder to the bell box to meter out. That way I'm hoping to find out what colours in the bell box = which colours at the panel...

So I need to identify out of the blue and yellow which were either side of the tamper switch in the old bell box which has 0v on when closed as at the moment I have 2 tamper wires and a link to 0V Will give it a go tomoz, whats your thoughts? Failing that I intend to remove all wires from...

Don't think its going to be that complex. Was a simple siren I removed from the old box with a tamper switch and strobe. The green was linked with the black at the siren The white was linked with the red at the siren The blue and the yellow were each side of a micro switch for tamper...

Yeah your right! 6 core at bell box & 12 core in the panel The six core in bell box is Yellow Blue White Green Red Black In the panel I have point 15 & 16 called tamper Yellow on point 15 Blue on point 16 But which one is 0v Red is connected to 13v+ Black is connected to 13v-...

Help ! I'm stuck now! Wires in my panel Blue = tamper Yellow = tamper Orange = bell+ Brown = bell- Red = 12v+ Black =12v- Wires in my old bell box which was just a siren and tamper switch Blue = tamper switch Yellow = tamper switch Red = siren+ Black = siren- White linked to...

That's exactly what I was thinking Bernard but I'd be tempted to move the location as well down to the skirting board level

Finally took the plunge and got myself a delta bell as recommended. Just going through wiring and jumper settings before I fit it. I'm connecting the pyronix delta bell to an Optima 6XL with 4 cores @ the bell J4 jumper = neg J5 jumper = applied Just link the bell wire to the strobe...

I suspected that would be the case with the texecom. I'm lucky that in my work I get to look around a lot of properties and have come across some with very bright status LEDs but these have been very poorly made boxes with very thin lense covers and sometimes dummy boxes with dummy led status...

I was all set to replace my bellbox with a pyronix delta until next door had one fitted and I noticed that the status led were hardly visable at night and invisible in the day. Let's face it, most homes are burgled during the daytime so I feel the comfort led as another important part of the...

Been having a look at the one you suggested but I'm not keen on the backlight. I prefer to have the blinking LED on the bell box but I have read that the LED are not very bright on this box What are the novaguard units like?

That fine time to get the ladder out when it warms up a little. Will the ADE active guard AG8 work with 4 wires as this matches my panel & I've heard that this box is easy to set up. As ever I'm only sounding my thinking & always take heed of advise which maybe given

Well I guess I will need to risk life and limb twice then to confirm how many wires are in there. At very best I expect to find no more than 4. Maybe an anti tamper and sounder wires. If this is the case would you still forget it. If not what would you recommend that wil give a loud alarm and...

I'm looking to replace my 20yr old bell box which is located very high & I only want to go up there once so I'm looking to the expertise on here to help me get the right bell box 1st time. My panel is a Optima XL6 and Although my old bell box has a strobe it doesn't work due to no spare wire...

Doh, Doh, Doh :oops: Can't believe I missed that. Thanks for all the help I've had in getting this to work :mrgreen:

Thanks for your help sparkymarka but I still can't get the dialler to trigger maybe a little more info from me may help. Readings at ready state Panel readings Bell+ to power input negative = 14v Bell- to power input negative = 13v Bell+ to Bell- = 0v Dialler readings Trigger 3 to...

I have this problem with a texecom connected to an optima xl6 panel. What size relay and where did you fit it to ?

I can get it to place a test call which goes through fine but when the alarm is triggered the call is not made. I have bell - connected to trigger 3. Looking at the diagrams it does show a resister on a normally closed circuit but not sure if this would resolve the issue and what size resistor

What is contention ratio like. To find this out run a test on BT speed tester one at peak time 8pm at night and one at off peak time say 6am. You may find a massive difference between the two speeds. This can be where you can fight BT as the of com guide is an average of 2meg for an 8meg line...
