Symptom 

Fault 

Action 

Sounder activated in non-
alarm condition and tamper 
shows at panel 

Cover not closed correctly. 

Check cover closed and screw secure. 

Rear tamper pin not correct length 

Correct rear tamper pin length. 

R- not pulled up to +12V in standby 
mode 

Fit pull up resistor to R- at control panel. 
See Fig 1, Note 1 

Sounder stops after 5s 

Incorrect timer link setting 

Set correct timer jumper links. 

Cannot SET control panel 

(due to sounder tamper) 

Tamper output open due to ENG input 
still connected to H+ 

Disconnect ENG from H+ in sounder or set 
control panel programmable output low. 

Tamper Source (TS) not connected to H- 
for single sounder or to Tamper Return 
(TR) for cascaded sounders 

Refer to connection diagrams for single 
and cascaded sounders (Figures 1 and 2). 

Total resistance of tamper circuit too 
high for multiple sounder installations 

Reduce number of cascaded sounders on 
one tamper loop. 

Cover or Rear tamper switch not closed. 

Check cover and rear tamper switches fully 
closed. 

Ring trigger signal (R-) disconnected 
(floating) 

Ensure R- pulled up to above 8.5V.  

Fault output open 

Battery not connected 

Check battery connections to terminal 
block. 

Battery faulty or voltage low 

Replace battery. 

Piezo fault 

Return unit to manufacturer. 

Battery charger faulty
