Not even for this old thing?

I dont make the rules..........well okay I do, but only some of them.........well okay this one in particular was one of mine..... but it is for good reason and all the mods agreed

If the new external bell you have has a cut off timer then why mess about cutting resistors?

Or have you fitted an equivalently aged C type without an SAB module now, for some odd reason?

Oh that is the beige box I was thinking of yer.

Morning - some kind person has sent me a scanned document which is of the typed out installation and instructions which is just 2 sides of A4 showing the links to cut etc. The new bell box is  Deltabell plus, but my local supplier said that he thinks the deltabell, would stop after 15 mins anyway but should sort the links out the make sure the panel cuts off and resets.

The panel is simple and very reliable and built to last so not changing it! Man date was Feb 1985 according to its sticker inside ... not many 35 year old panels still going

Thanks for your thought here - alot of other panel install/user instructions  you can get as pdfs easily by searching the web, even the installation ones are fairly easy to get for Scantronic etc.

It's the bell that needs the cut off timer, it just became standard that all equipment would have the timer built in for reducing noise pollution.

Even if the panel continues to provide a bell trigger output the bell would ignore it until removed and reapplied. Unless there is some rearm function as part of this then I'd still say leave it alone myself.

It's part of our guidelines not to provide engineers manuals here, not only from a security perspective but copyright issues. What other sites distribute is up to them.

There's loads of old crap out there, often the the alarm controls are decades older than everything else in the house.

You can do what you want with it but are unlikely to find many people willing to work with it.

Ok , but reality this panel is now an antique and junk to most 

 

But great for DIY while it works perhaps

assuming your an adult, you should have the ability to understand over the length of your life the world changes slowly significantly.

 

eg in 1986 if I wanted an instruction book for alarm panel I'd have to telephone the manufacturer & they might have been kind enough to send one in the post.
