Battle Of The Bellboxes


Recommended Posts

Posted
:o Um, I was ranting about crappy coloured bellboxes the OMBs use round our area!? And made the point that the yellow peril goes against my probably very narrow minded views on bellboxes!

i like the hex,its unique,granted it aint got the flashing leds some have,but then again you couldnt spot the diff between a live and a dummy which is a plus point..the best thing i have seen lately tho is the glow in the dark abel bells..now thats cool :yes:

Does anyone know:

i)  if Pyronix have addressed/fixed the increasing speed of the LED's yet?

ii) Other than the flashguard, who does a dummy LED module, to match an equivilent 'live' box ?

Gardtec do dummy LED modules both 12v and battery powered, or you can buy a kit from Maplins!

We've had a couple of customers in the past where we've alarmed the house, but have also been able to erect a matching dummy on detached garages using a 12v PSU and a LED module.

That way atleast it all ties in with the main propertyand looks authentic, rather than having a different LED patern - or none at all.

When we used the Pyronix Belle it was easy, but now we're using Texecom it isn't. If Adi says Texecom are bringing one out for the Oddysey range, then that will resolve it. - Thanks Adi

The unit weighs a ton which surprised me considering it was fixed with 4 x 1"/8s. It has manufactured by Abel stamped all over it. The sounder is a ventcroft twin peizo mounted to the back plate. The Abel name is cut into the front of the stainless steel. The unit carries a ref: SSU 456. The blue glow is generated from an illuminated plate the same width as the box and only slightly less high and about 3/8

Do the Novagard 4's still blow the sab batteries? I remember having to change plenty of 7.5v Nicads due to them falling to bits with the odd cell disentigrating after only being installed for less than 12 months.
