Help With Sterling 10

[Guest tonymoloni]

Hi there great fourm you guys got here

Ive got a little problem and wonder if anyone on here could please help me?

I recently installed a sterling 10 panel ,rkp,belle and 3 pet sensors and one normal one you get in the kit, for my brother in law. installation went fine no problems.

But 2 days ago he got a tamper warning so i went around and checked everything over tested tamper loop for continuity and all was ok. After lookingat the belle there was a small diode looking thing burnt also the leds had stopped working.

I then changed the belle for a new one and changed the blown fuse in the panel now it all works fine apart from when i do a self test the sounders inside work ok and the strobe outside works but no siren??

So then i thought it could be the panel so i changed the circuit board and it is the same i then changed the rkp then i changed the cable from the panel to the bell box.

Can anyone shed any light on my problem? It seems to be working ok apart from no siren outside

Thanks in advance for any advice

well first of all meter the bell output and check thats functioning if so connect 0v to the trgger and see if it works then, maybe you should use your meter with a fuse to ensure you dont start shorting things out if your not 100%

Thanks m8 ill pop around in morning and have another look there is defo 13.somthing volts b+ to b-

Is there any way that the panel could be set to stop the bel sounding?

Does the rkp hold any info as when i changed the panel the text ect stayed the same when i powered up.

Mate i have yet to find a sterling 10 that the bell test works on.

I service around 50 of them and not one works in bell test or walk test.

Your best bet is press FN - PA and check it that way.

on the shitling 10 the keypad hold all the texts so you can mix lcd and non lcd keypads. Plus it saves having to reprogram the text when you have to change the panel
