Might also email Kinetic, but they are probably the same company. Didn't realise Lynteck also had a range of bell boxes https://www.lynteck.co.uk/products/intruder/sounders/#external they all look quite good. Do you know how these sorts of sounder worked? I know many were made Quote

Okay haha, I emailed them, but they didn't have anything of interest to give me, just a PDF, showcasing all of their sounders. Is that sounder pictured any good? Quote

Okay haha, they wrote to every household in the UK to inform them of a potential fire risk in their external sounder, which resulted every alarm co. being asked by loads of worried customers if the completely different box was going to burn them to death....

Gabs Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Yeah, must have cost them a lot of money. That was my worry when trying to design an SAB, how the battery charging circuit could potentially cause a fire Quote
