accenta intruder alarm problem

[sneillyboy]

Hi guys hope you can help me

Have just swapped my old alarm panel for a shiny new accenta panel.

Havingcarefully noted all wiring and swapping it from old to new . How disappointed was I when powering up nothing happened except the power LED on the front lit up !!

No tones from the keys , no alarm situation when front panel was removed NOTHING !!

I await your words of wisdom ??

Cheers

So you took a note of the way it was wired and reconnected that way? Did you at any time refer to the manufacturer's wiring diagrams for the new panel?

 

[sneillyboy]

TBH the wiring was like for like ??

 

[trev]

OK then, have you anything at the outgoing terminals?
Have you checked fuses?
Have you checked the .......
etc

Have you made sure that all the "Empty" ways are linked across?

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Ok I'll say it.

you need the assistance of a professional. Otherwise this could take weeks.

all empty ways linked

First things first, ...power panel as it came with factory links and no wires.....this is always done first to prove panel is ok......then install one zone at a time and check....lastly connect bell box wiring. Always fit any panel this way, it saves hunting faults later.

Sounds like it is in lock-out, check the RKP, bell and global tampers for starters.

favorite is the back tamper on the ext. sounder. take the wires out of A & T and link out. then try it.

Have definitely got 13v output at batt terms

rkp tamper is linked out , general tamper is ok Bell tamper will be next check I do

+1 for tamper lock out would be the first thing I would check. It does sen like a tamper fault normally on the accenta.

put link in tamper on the board n try from there.

rkp tamper is linked out , general tamper is ok Bell tamper will be next check I do

Possibly take bell out of circuit and see how panel behaves.

 

[tazz]

ok lets do it the long way round.....tamp linked out, bell linked out, and panel tamper spring retained......power up enter 0123....now what happens (sounds & led showing)...??

Great advice !!!:happy:


Linked out A & T and away we go !!!

Many thanks

Thanks for the good information.

Could someone give me a bit of history behind this condition and why linking the T and A works?

Thanks.

because A & T are the 0v feed to the bell and the tamper return. if either of the bell tamper switches are open circuit, there's no tamper return, so the panel sees iyt as a tamper fault.
