qpr55 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I have a Veritas alarm system and when the alarm is activated or when i do a test on the system to check PIRs and bell box the strobe does not work. Looking in the bell box there is no wire connected to the strobe point on the block, the wiring diagrams states that this should be the green wire but still nothing happens. Does this need a connection or is the strobe connected through the bell itself, if so how would i connect it as it says in the hand book i can set the strobe to flash for about 6 seconds when alarm is armed and this would be useful me. Thanks

Thanks how many cores are in the cable at the bell box, 4, 6 or 8?
qpr55 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 how many cores are in the cable at the bell box, 4, 6 or 8? cant remember but there is a green wire black wire and white wire twisted together and not connected to anything
alterEGO Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 cant remember but there is a green wire black wire and white wire twisted together and not connected to anything if they are at the panel, test them out to make sure all is well. if they test ok the strobe would work if connected to the output at the bell and i think the S at the panel on these.

Not connected at PCB either, i guess i need to trace the green wire that goes to bell box and connect to PCB then connect green to strb connection in box, i noticed that all wires are labeled so hopefully finding ones that go to bb will be easy. Will look at in morning in case alarm sounds tonight

Will look at in morning in case alarm sounds tonight dont touch the strobe when its going flash - it will hurt you if it doesnt kill you

Any sugestions please
