Hi All,
I have almost completed a Pyronix Enforcer alarm install and all that remains is the external Bell which has got me stumped.
I do have an existing wired bell outside the house from an old alarm that is no longer connected and would like to reuse it.
The old bell cable was wired to the old control panel in the following way and I also attach a photo.
red and black wires in +ve and -ve terminals
blue and white wires under SCB section wired into points marked T and A on old control panel
Yellow wire on -ve terminal under STROBE connection.
The old control panel also had a very thick wire across the -ve and +ve connections under a TAMP heading (see attachment).
Can someone tell me how I connect these old Bell cables to the new Enforcer control panel? I would be grateful if you could also include how the resistors need to be done as this is especially confusing. I am hoping that the wired Bell itself does not need any changes as I don't have a tall ladder at the moment.
Once I know where the wires need to go, can I physically wire in the old bell into the Enforcer while the system is LIVE (powered on and in Engineers mode), or must I power the Enforcer off at the mains?
If I need to power it down, is it a case of going into Engineer mode, then opening the control panel, disconnecting the backup battery then flicking the mains fuse?
Thanks in advance and I hope someone can help!
