Not sure why the EH remark ???

The system was quite old had an old Scanny 9100 and C&K DT420's fitted but quite recently has had a bell box replaced. due to a break in according to the customer.

We stood on the opposite side of the road and couldn't hear the bell sounding at all due to the noise from other factories and passing vehicles a point proven over the weekend when the place was completely turned over and the factories across the road never heard a thing despite the bell ringing away for 20 minutes.

Never been a huge fan of bell's we were fitting Friedland master bells 10-20 years ago but the were never as effective or relieable as a normal horn sounder but thats just my opinion of course ;)

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

The reason for the bell in the //.National Installer.// box is cerain. When Re-branding of Modern took place the engineers were required to replace the Modeern box with an elmdene electronic sounder. For this work an engineer was given a modest couple of quid extra. What became apparent is that the new cover was a direct replacement for the Modern bell back plate and therefore the money came quicker. The problem was then what to do with all the Elmdene sounders. We had approxamatly 60 of these units offered to us by the finder and thus came across this story.

Customers!

ha ha ha ha :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

what a load of s****,please please think before speaking,they say a little knowledge is dangerous,in your case its lethal!!!!!the cover has never changed,the siren as apposed to the bell used basically the same cover,bar the inside to keep the additional tamper switch closed on the euro bell,we were not instructed to replace any other sounder with a bell or siren,the choice was at the engineers choice or fit the bell or siren cover to what was in place at the time if a bell was fitted fit a bell cover,if a siren was fitted fit a siren cover,also you fail to mention replacement of //.National Installer.// modern covers,yes the white ones,and these were also FREE to the customer often replacing old sounders...

please get your facts right :angry::angry:
