Veritas 8 external sounder

[theGman]

Hi, should the external sounder go off instantly the alarm is activated. Today I returned home and my dog had set off the alarm. I have done a test to check that the sounders work, as per the operators manual, and it's all good. Then  I set the alarm and opened the door, the internal sounder worked and the external strobe was flashing but the external sounder was not working?

Maybe sounder is faulty , or bell trigger problem needs testing

Unless there is a bell delay set up something isn't right.

Could be a number of things so needs diagnosing.

The bell sounder works fine if I go through the test steps in the manual. Not sure if there is a delay, I'll try again tomorrow, been trying for a while today so probably driving my wife and neighbours crazy.

Some sort of bell delay or maybe it's set to internals only on part set.

I was altering the  part settings a long time ago, so not sure if maybe I've changed something. Maybe I need to check if I've set to internals?

So does it ring on full set alarm

After reading a few posts I'm not sure if there is a delay on full set. When I was testing it today I was turning it off after about 10 seconds, not to annoy my neighbours. When doing the sounder tests both internal and external sounders operate. Tomorrow I'll set it to full and activate it by opening a door.
