Discuss New Texecom alarm box wiring help in the Security Alarms, Door Entry and CCTV (Public) area at ElectriciansForums.net

Have you exited engineers?
Hi, I think so, is that the battery first thing where you power up with the box lid open then close it and 2 minutes later the LEDs flash slowly and alternating?
I've just done a continuity test on the wires and 2 of them are broken somewhere, carpet up time now to find what the carpet fitters did... today isn't going well :(
 
Just to update,
I found out that there were two broken wires where the carpet fitters cut through the cable a couple of years ago, they were the bell activate wire and the strobe wire. I have repaired them and it now all works with the wires connected as I originally had them.
I'm guessing that's where experience comes in, someone who knew what they were doing would have done a continuity test on the wires at the beginning :)
Thanks a million for your help and just incase it's ever needed here's a pic showing the wiring I used, you never know someone else may have issues connecting a Rascal + to a Texecom Odyssey bell box.

Bump-

Its a very basic old alarm panel, its from the era when the bell tamper is shared with the global, tamper & case tamper. (negtive loop)

around 30 yrs ago sounders started to become complete items rather than purchased as an enclosure, bell module, horn, strobe ect

These are mostly a single wire return, the normal method to connect a single wire return into a loop is small relay with in the control panel.

If an the external sounder fitted a by proper installer its should be unaffected by heat, cold, rain, wind ect... nor should an alarm be effected by power failure, well not for a good 8 hrs ;)
