Bell Box Battery

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Ive got a customer with a british gas alarm box which isnt working from down on the ground, ive checked it has been wired in which it has so i assume its time for a battery replacement.

Ive never used a british gas bell box before so am wondering if the batterys i use will work with it, ive attached a picture below. They are 2 1/4" tall x 1"Diameter and are Ni Cad at 8.4 volts intended for SAB.

cheers,

Regards and best wishes,

Ranger

Hey, cheers for the reply

I just wondered first as i wont be going there again till monday and thought i could find out before i go again rather then adding more ladder runs to the equation.

Yeah i would want my own bell but not all take overs i do i change the bell. Depends on the location and if id benifit in that area ;)

Yes my first impression was monitored with internal SAB and dummy on front and back.

Internal SAB working fine but apparently, according to home owner, there is a wire leading to the bell box in the loft. As i say, i havent been there for very long, only a few minutes the other day to stop a warning problem for them and will be doing a take over on monday.

I had one ringing in my ear back last year and couldnt see a terminal to remove the battery from the sounder so after a bit of a panic I just put the cover back on. Dont forget theres a 1k resistor across the 12V+ and trigger if you have problems. Not sure whether its built into these sounders or whether its just simply placed in the internal sounders.
