Accenta 8. System not set but bell box is sounding?
Hi all,
We have had installed for many years now our ADE accenta 8 panel, two RKP's and two external, battery backup bell boxes. All has been fine except for today. My wife accidentally tripped the alarm this morning via a PIR. she quickly entered the pin code to disarm and the sirens stopped. Within about 2 mins and with the system not set.. the sirens sounded again. This time the pin code did not stop the alarm, so I disconnected both battery backup and mains on the control unit. The bell boxes continued to sound for approx 10 mins then stopped. I then reconnected power and battery within the panel and all seemed to be just fine.. until.. my wife pointed out to me at about 7pm tonight that our rear bell box was still sounding albeit extremely low volume. I've now disconnected all power and battery backup to the panel until i resolve this.
Thanks for the reply. Yes you were correct. The 1amp fuse had blown on the panel. I replaced and it blew again.. at this point i noticed that one of the strobe lights wasn't flashing, took the box to pieces and noticed that the trigger coil had a broken wire so it seems it was not firing correctly and actually burnt out the triac on board. New bell box, new fuse and I will test again this weekend
