[QUOTE="deansplit, post: 468338, member: 30478"] Hi I replaced an old alarm box/siren yesterday - sea air rusted a few components and it was triggering tamper randomly, a few times a day (or night!). To make sure it was the box at fault I've had the box off for 6 weeks with no problem. I bought a Honeywell 8EP420 - ADE RESON8. I took a photo of the wire colouring of the original to reconnect the new one. I have the bridge switches all set correctly - battery is 'on', sounder is '20 mins'... I connected trigger, return & hold-off negative, but as soon as I connect the hold-off positive, the siren goes off which I know is normal until I get the cover on and enter the code, but it doesn't switch off at all! However, it works with this wire off but there's a feedback noise on our internal sounder (best described as the crickets/insects you hear in the bushes when on holiday somewhere hot!) It' comes and goes, but is mainly going! Not noisy, but annoying and clearly something wrong. Any suggestions of help much appreciated. Many thanks Dean [/QUOTE]
