I have a Nexus 8 Alarm with a Vortex bell box. The system has worked perfectly since I installed it in late 2003. However, I recently became aware that although the system behaves perfectly with panel speaker sounding and strobe flashing when alarm is triggered the bell is not sounding. A bell test will also not trigger the bell. However, I can trigger the bell by removing the bell fuse and then replacing it. The fuse is fine.

Maplins kindly "lent me" a replacement bell box and when connected up it behaved exactly the same as the original - i.e. LEDs showing operational state, strobe working as required but no bell trigger. I did this test through a new wiring loom. This leads me to the belief that the panel is somehow at fault. I have reset to factory defaults and then reprogrammed entire set up. All with no success.

I also called the lynteck tech line at �0.50 /minute and was put on hold! Does anybody have any ideas?

it rang with power removed, you have panel set for SCB = Self Contained Bell (old style = remove supply to ring) and not SAB (Self Activating Bell) in the panel programming

(sometimes its useful to be old)
