Don't worry Andy, confused is something he specialises in

lol - you didnt see it before i HAD to edit it lol

sometimes the advice ( and he got the same on his fabled " other forums " ) is just that - its beyond your ability as a DIY`ER

well as i haver said before any idiot can start a fire

[nikko]

he didnt mean switch the mains through the panel - did he ?

Yes I understand the need to clarify this point to members of the public, but his mains siren should come with instructions as to what is to be used as a trigger.

should it though??...this is a bit of kit which is aimed at the professional market,and therfore as a professional you should'nt need to be told

i havnt read half of the replies so if someone has said this then ignore it.

if its a new sab you have got it should have its own cut off timer in it, so you can wire the bell trigger into the strobe and then wire the master blaster into the bell trig and programme the time as whatever you want.

this should work, the timer in the sab will stop the bell ringing, the strobe will still flash and the blaster will be programmed to whatever time you want.

im sure someone will say im wrong and it wont work but it was just an idea.

hi buddyboy,

that wiring config would have a albeit minor 'flaw' as the panel may be set to auto re-arm, with the strobe continuing for a period longer than the siren setting.

so the panel auto resets with the strobe still active, o on the next activation only the internal siren would action if a further alarm occurred within the strobe on time.

but the advice is in the public sector so we have a 'duty of care' as professionals to be very clear where severe hazards exist to the non aware or amateur.

either way no harm in stressing caution, an offended professional is better than a dead diyer and his family imo - yes?

i am with you all the way,the point i was trying(and sadly failing) to make was that a bit of kit aimed at the pro market shouldn't be made available to any body

i can see it now a very nice master blaster situated in the loft space of a new build terrace house(fitted by a diyer) with endless bell time and the resident away on 2 weeks hols

think the neighbours may well start a lynch mob

the fire brigade ( there to deal with the roof catching fire from the motor over running ) could use their hoses as crowd control - lol
