Optima Compact - External Bell Box replacement ?

[lucky1313]

Hi Guys

I have the above alarm but the attached bellbox has completely died, so I need to replace it with a new unit.

The rest of the alarm system seems to be working fine..that is until I removed the cover and the wiring connecting it.

Can anyone recommend a compatible bellbox that would work with it ?

I've attached some pics of the PCB inside the bellbox to show all the connectors currently in use.

Hi guys

So I purchased a Pyronix Deltabell to replace thr old one but I’m having trouble working out which wires go where on the new unit.

I’ve added some photos so if anyone can help tell me which colour on the old wires goes on the new unit...I was hoping it was going to be a straight forward swap but not obvious to me

Thanks Lucky

Old to New
B- = Bell
A = -
D = +
Strobe - = STB

 

[secureiam]

T is tamper but not sure which one it goes to on the new bell without checking the manual and E I suspect is engineers hold off on the ADE old bell..

thanks Secure I AM thats really helpful can I just check I have this right so far:

Old to New
B- = Bell ( So the white wire goes to Bell ,6th connector down on the new board )
A = - ( Green wire to 12v - ,8th connector down on new board )
D = + ( Yellow wire to 12v + ,7th connector down on new board
Strobe - = STB ( Black wire to STB, 5th connector down on the new board )

I found the engineer manual page 13 has details about the Tamper connections and the T and E wires

You need to put a link from the - on the delta bell to one of the T connections

Thanks Sparky

Can I double check I have the other connections ( 2 posts above ) set up correctly too ?

 

[lucky1313]

So I set this up as above but as soon as I power up the system the alarm sounds, as soon as I put the code in the whole panel locks up..

I did exactly what was advised above so I’m not sure what I’ve missed ? Any help much appreciated

Because you didn’t put the BLUE wire in the other T terminal in the bellbox

Thus the tamper is OC.

Thanks Sparky, so I added the blue wire and this time it alarmed a few seconds after the power was restored, pin entered, and alarm switched off but then a few seconds later it alarmed again, pin entered again and then the keypad locked up again

I’ve uploaded another pic to show new configuration
