Hi,

 

The strobe light in my Reson8 Bell Box will not stop flashing after fitting my new Mini Gen4 control panel.

I've tried everything & double, triple & quadruple checked the wiring, spent hours trying to fathom it out, but it still flashes. I've had to disconnect the -strobe wire to stop the flashing. My conclusion is that there must be a fault with my new Mini Gen4 panel.

Have you any thoughts please?

 

Thanks

David

When your disconnecting the strobe are you doing it at the panel or the sounder end?

 

Id meter between Bell + and Strobe - at the panel with the strobe - disconnected. Whats the reading?

"Hello, & thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Its appreciated.

 

To stop the strobe lamp flashing I disconnected the strobe - wire at the Mini Gen4 panel.

 

Testing between the Bell + and Strobe - terminals with the Strobe - wire disconnected, I'm getting around 12V running on the battery & around 15V running on the Mains. Both these values are constant.

I say "around" as I still use an analogue meter.

15v is too high but id assume that is your meter.

 

If your panel is outputing 12 v- 14v normally id say there was a fault with the panel. Dont suppose you can attach a pic of how both sides are wired so i can double check them?

These images were sent in.

Looking at the above images you have it wired correctly. I can only suggest the panel is faulty.

If you raise an RMA ticket we will get that panel swapped for you.
