Help please with Bell Box connections

[Guest mike2004]

I have recently bought a 2nd hand bell box, for connection to my Texecom Premier 88.

The connections off the bell box module are:

1: Siren Hold off

2: +V

3: 0V

4: Siren

5: Batt +

6: Batt -

7: Tamp

8: Tamp

9: Strobe +

10: Strobe -

The Texecom pcb provides for the following connections:

A:+12V , B:Bell- , C:Tamp , D:0V , S:Strobe-

What's the best way of connecting these two together?

A to 2 and D to 3 are obvious, and I just plug the internal battery into 5 and 6.

As for S, I presume it just goes to 10, and I ignore 9.

How about B? Does it go to 4?

And how about the fact that the bell box has 2 tamper terminals, but the texecom output has one?

Also can I make use of the siren hold off facility?

Sorry for all these questions!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Hmm, take B to 4 as this is the trigger.

You will probably need to link 2 to 9 for the strobe to work

Two tamper teminals?

Tamper feed & Tamper return? if so you'll need to give tamper feed a negative and send tamper return back to panel.

Are you saying there's a terminal labeled Siren Hold off ???

What Bell box is this?????

Did it come with a battery, if it did I would consider fitting a new one.

1 -> D

2 -> A

3 -> D

4 -> B

5 -> Battery + (internal battery in the bellbox NOT in panel case)

6 -> Battery - (internal battery in the bellbox NOT in panel case)

7 -> *

8 -> *

9 -> Link to 2

10 -> Link to 4

Do not link 1 and 3 in the bellbox since it is for "ringing the bell" if cable is cut.

* --> Hopefully someone familiar with texecom verifies this..

Sorry, but linking 10 to 4 would mean that the strobe follows the bell - not correct. 10 should be linked to S - that way the strobe will continue after the bell stops ringing.

I always wire the strobe to follow the bell, if the alarm goes off and your on your 1st day of your 3 week holiday to Australia do you really want it latching??

I thought this was an insurance requirement.

Thanks D7.. Obviously I should wear my B) when reading the posts..

[Guest mike2004]

Many thanks for all that advice

Anyone got any thoughts about the two tamper terminals?

Thanks again,

Mike

Since I don't know the panel you are using I am not able to help you with this but if you wire them both to panel casing you can easily connect them later there when somebody answers to this question more spesificly.

Is there separate tamper input in the PCB or is there one common tamper zone?

In case of one common tamper zone you should put bell tamper in series with other tampers by unscrewing other wire from tamper input and connecting other wire from bell tamper to that tamper input and other from wire from bell tamper to that wire you took out from tamper input. But check first that there isn't separate tamper input for the bell.

I suggest you just wire both tamper terminals to panel casing and wait until someone who knows your panel answers to this.
