Haes 4 zone fire alarm call point

[Neil a]

I've installed this system as a diy everything working fine apart from call point I've got it on zone one found a install diagram + to 1
- to 3 and eol to 1 and 3 the one I have is in pic does anyone know if I'm wiring it wrong thanks

What happens when you activate it ? Does this break glass have a resistor built in ?

 

[Neil a]

If I connect as I've said when I activate it fault lights show up that's it no sounders if I remove eol then same fault light shows

Sounds like it's not got a resistor built in , normally 470 or 680 ohms , what does the call point instructions say ?

 

[Neil a]

Haven't got them anymore on the old system it was connected like this and that worked

 

[sparkymarka]

Hopefully not with that cable !
Plus that one is wired across 1 and 2.... not 1 and 3 as you described above ....

 

[Neil a]

No not this wire just to show on old system it was - to 1 and +to 2 tryed this on new system and doesn't work but found this so tryed this way but still no joy

Ok....the really old fire panels worked on a short across the pair , most panels in the last 30 years need a 470 or 690ohm resistor to activate the alarm or they just show fault , now ....some fire panels gave either an option or a jumper on the pcb to activate on short circuit.
What else have you got connected on the panel ? Any smokes ? Do they work ? If so swop onto zone 1 , do they work on zone 1 ? If so it's the call point with the issue, get a multimeter set on ohms what do you get across 1 and 2 glass in and out and 1 and 3 in and out
