Guest nikki Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi there I am testing a veritas excel alarm panel and according to the bell installation manual of the (odessey 3) it tells you that by removing the positive i should be able to test the bell?well it doesn't work!! is there any way of testing the bell from the panel?? Also do i have to move the red wire of the bell to the positive upon installation. nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Have you moved the Wire over to enable the SAB battery..? ........................................................ Dave Partridge (Romec Service Engineer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.c Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Yes just set the system then put it into alarm (by opening a door or walking past a pir). When it goes into alarm the bell should be sounding and strobe flashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaseven Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I think Dave is right - the battery leads need to be connected to Battery + and - in the bell box, and the bell box tamper switches need to be closed before hold-off fail will self-trigger the bell box.

Guest nikki Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi Dave I just moved it over when i first inspected it .Will i have to leave it to charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaseven Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If the battery is low, it will need to charge before it triggers, but remember that the bell box will not leave engineer's safety hold-off until the tamper switches are down, and the power to the bell is supplied. ie - make sure the bell box is powered and the cover is on properly before testing the hold-off.

breff Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Do a bell test from engineers mode, they take a while to automatically come out of engineers mode but exit it immediately when the siren is activated from the panel. Also Ive had a few of these that dont self actuate with + removed but do with - removed! The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Giles Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 we have had a few not activate when hold off removed, do what we do, swear to your self, replace the whole unit and send it back to john at texecom!!! Just goes to show the importance of servicing!!
