Strange REASON8 problem

[Lordy9099]

Hello,

I changed an old panel to a new G4 a few weeks ago and I also fitted a new REASON8 and I have had nothing but problems, the cables are all in the correct places to the correct places in the panel but when I take the cover off the alarm goes off and if I kill the power towards to the panel the alarm goes off. But if I go into full alarm condition then the bell does not go off and even if I do an engineer test. Nothing. HELP!!

Cannot see the tamper being healthy if siren cover is off...??
Really suggest you follow Oldtimers, break down. So would say first, disconnect all siren cables from panel and replace link in A & T, when you have done this, let do some voltage tests.....sounds like going backwards, but i promise you its the only way forward.
Oldtimer is try to illiminate each possiblility, one section at a time, by doing this we will have the information we need to help you.

And he will understand it better if not then stop doing alarms
