Hi all
Looking for a bit of advice on connecting a Gardtec 300 series to a Honeywell AD6 bell box.
I fit and install the odd new system if asked but I mainly do electrical works, but a builder mate has asked me to look at his mother in laws alarm, he gives me quite a lot of work so I said OK.
I have a Honeywell AD6 bell box spare so I thought I would use it.
Today I swooped it over but I cant get the bell to ring in alarm, the strobe flashes and the alarm does as it should apart from the bell does not ring.
The connections I have made are:-
Gardtec 300 series to Honewell AD6
SAB Tamper- to Tamper Rtn (tr-)
Bell- to Bell Trg- (s-)
Bell+ to Supply +
Bell hold- to Supply-
Strobe- to Stobe- (st-)
I HAVE ALSO PUT A LINK BETWEEN STROBE- AND SUPPLY- this allowed taper light on panel to go out
any help appreciated as I am doing this as a freebie
thanks
Richard

Re: Gardtec 300 Series connect to Honeywell AD6 bellbox
Has it got the Red AND green LED's lit?
And have you moved the timer link?
If you have done the above, bring it down and "Try it on the bench"
You have checked to see you are using the same colours at both ends? sometimes the yellow can fade and you think its white.
(Oh the wiring configuration looks correct.)

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Re: Gardtec 300 Series connect to Honeywell AD6 bellbox
Thanks for the reply, I have been a sparks for over 30 years and I thought I have got the wiring correct which you confirmed and it is definitely yellow not white
.
On the panel there were 6 connections and I have not used the + strobe connection
The LED`S are as you say and the panel sets and goes into alarm with strobe flashing but no sound from siren.
I will look at the timer link but what is it? as I have no installation manual but I will search on line for one.
thanks again
Richard

Re: Gardtec 300 Series connect to Honeywell AD6 bellbox
Hi all in response to my problem with the Gardtec 300 sieries panel and a honeywell ad6 bell box, having slept on the problem another thing has come to light only 1 of the flashing LEDs at bottom of the bell box is illuminated and it is lit all the time not flashing.
I am wondering if I have got the bell holl- and the bell- on the panel the wrong way round.

Re: Gardtec 300 Series connect to Honeywell AD6 bellbox
Had a similar problem with a different honeywell box, there was a little link (looks like a car fuse but much smaller) that needs moving from "test" to "battery" and although I had moved it it wasn't pushed fully home. I'm not entirely sure if this is the same problem that you have but worth a look.

I believe both are supposed to be on, one to say it is charging the other to say tamper is ok.daytripper wrote:Hi all in response to my problem with the Gardtec 300 sieries panel and a honeywell ad6 bell box, having slept on the problem another thing has come to light only 1 of the flashing LEDs at bottom of the bell box is illuminated and it is lit all the time not flashing.
It's in the manual, but as I also said, bring it down and bench test it.
