Hi all,
We are in the process of getting our attic converted and I had to cut the alarm cable between the main box and the external bell in order to get new trusses installed. I have since rejoined the cable using telephone wire jelly connectors, but I am still showing a tamper to the bell.
I have gone over the connectors and they are fine, I have also opened up the bell box outside to check whether the cable may have been tugged and worked loose of it's connection, but they are all good.
I have managed to get the engineer code for the alarm and it will now not let me exit engineer mode as it is picking up a tamper in the bell circuit.
I have thought about cutting off the jelly connectors and trying again, but the cable has no slack. Also, with the location of the cable there's no way to replace (3m to the bell and then around 9m to the unit through numerous partitions and dwangs) or to solder the cables (the join is around 2m in to the eaves, in the very bottom edge of the truss.
Is there a way of checking definitively that it is the join, or can I be safe in the assumption?
Thanks,
The Beast
