Texe bellbox with a Euro46 panel

[James R]

If your texe bell box doesn't sound with a Euro46 panel it's because the Euro46 bell o/p is +... texe Bell boxes looks for a neg so either connect your bell to strobe or use a very handy relay to convert bell+ to neg.

Connect the bell to the strobe?...

You'll get the bell ringing on a day mode tamper

 

I would suggest find or make (relay etc) a suitable "-ve bell mimic" output

Bit odd to have +ve trig default on modern stuff anyway tho...

I don't think it is even castle stuff was neg trig but old stuff was pos return

?

 

I think your mistaken.

 

Neg trigger for both bell & strobe, negtive tamper return

 

I've never inverted the bell or strobe trigger, IIRC I believe you can only invert the digi pin on the "rainbow ribbon" ?

Everything since omega 8 was neg

Thanks for the replies. 

 

All I can say was that the texecom bell box would not sound with bell connected to bell in the euro 46 panel - in bell test giving +   as soon as I gave it -   it worked.  That's all I can say.

Had a look at the manual to see if you can change the polarity of the bell O/P - didn't find anything or i'm being thick

Didn't see a jumper in the bell that would convert polarity. 

 

I was thinking a non latching/very handy relay at the panel to convert.
