Hi folks,
I have a Citadel Defender 2 sounder connected to a 1997 Texecom Veritas R8 system, it has all worked since since 1997. I had to replace the sounder box a few years ago when one of the strobe lights failed.
Now, when I set the alarm, at the point when I expect the strobe to flash once to confirm all is set, there is no strobe flash but instead a very short bleep on the sounder. I've now worked out that the strobes don't work at all but the sounder works very well. When at unset there is a green light and a red light showing alternately. Before I climb the ladder to remove the sounder and replace it, has anyone seen this before and have other solutions? Could a faulty sounder unit battery do this?
