OK understood, I will check it all out and report back, hopefully tomorrow

Thanks RF Lighting, I will hope for a dry day tomorrow and get the ladders out disable bell box outside. BTW, Are you thinking that the transformer is knackered in the control panel? I know the circuit powering the control panel is good as it also powers a power shower which is fine.

OK thanks. I will check this after I've disabled the bell box. What's the simplest way to disable the siren and in what sequence, I forget stuff easily these days, as I'm getting older :-)

Do you mean at the battery connection lead terminals (spade connectors) or on board itself?

This morning our alarm system went off for no apparent reason and so I came downstairs to disarm it using remote keypad. However the rkp was completely dead, other than number keys illuminated. I also noticed that the internal sounder wasn't emitting its usual racket which I thought was rather...

Thanks spark123, I'll let you know how I go on.

OK thanks for your help but please go somewhere else if you're bored on a Sunday afternoon, Can we please get back to topic.

I know that much. Anyone else ?

Advice on best way to go about this would be gladly appreciated as I would like to do this work myself being fairly competent with electrics and most other building jobs around the house. The reason for changing the box is that its been making strange noises for last few days, like a broken...

Thanks Outlaw. Do you mean something like this ? How does it seal, do I cement or silicon ?

I am in the process of replacing the cast iron stack at the side of our house with a new plastic system. The side path is being replaced at the same time and while breaking the concrete it revealed that the upper lip of the clay bend set in the ground was cracked and broken away. What is the...
