Hi, my panel is a scantronic 9448+ ,when the system alarms only the internal panel buzzer sounds. If I do a bell test ( 4 enter then code ) the outside sounder , sounds and the strobe flashes.
Thanks.
 
Hi, it is a old installation, the outside sounder is a texecom odyssey E3 (SCB).
The outside sounder sounds and strobe flashes when tested from panel. I would assume that indicates the sounder is ok.
Set the alarm then active a sensor and the entry bleep times down and the internal sounder sounds, but the outside sounder or strobe does not.
Thanks
 
Does it not sound even when 2 x devices are activated in alarm? Will need to ensure it's not a monitored alarm before giving it a go!
 
Hi, several sensors activated at same time does not make a difference. System is not a monitored system.if I get a engineer in he will test the Sounders like I have done and conclude requires a new panel. I am a electrical engineer but not familiar with problems experienced with scantronic panels. Thought this may be a recurring problem with this panel and somebody else has come across it. My next move is to reset panel back to default in case a setting is corrupt, then if that does not correct looks like a new panel is required.
 
A better test is not to use the entry timer, try setting the alarm and stand in a room, (not stairs or hall), which has a detector. Set the alarm, then move in the room, if all is well, the inside and outside sounder including strobe should fire off
