My apologies...as I said I am mechanical based....
It was with respect to tamper.... I appreciate the voltage will be in parallel. I\'ll connect up the cables at the alarm panel to complete the series.
I just know once I\'ve added in the additional bellbox, I\'ll have current problems
thanks

Comfort / Users,
Today i replaced my Cequera bellbox with a new one, the Cequera 2. These bellboxes have exactly the same connections, so i know i wired them correctly. The new Cequera 2 is working OK, except one thing; when arming the system it does not output the 2 short beeps i was used to before.
The only difference between the old an new bellbox is that the new bellbox has 2 1K resistors attached to the Cequera PCB as mentioned in the manual. My old bellbox worked flawlessly without these.
Any idea why this is happening?
Regards,
Frans

Perhaps the new Cequra model is not able to respond to short pulses
Increase the duration of the 2 pulses by going to Security Types > Sound Types > Armed2Beeps, increase Tone1ms (duration of the 1st tone) to 400 ms and Tone2ms (duration of 2nd tone) to 1000. If you hear the sounds, then you can adjust the duration parameters as required

Hi (forgive me im a newby on a sharp learning curve) Does anyone know how to match up the Vortex bell box wiring to the comfort Ultra panel The Siren and strobe work fine, however Im at a loss as to the tamper.
Bell Box Config as follows:
Hold+ Hold- TG STB- Return
This is the set up so far:
Bell box Comfort Ultra
Hold+ SRN+
Hold- ????
TG SRN-
STB- STR-
Return ????
Hold- I think should go to Com (but which one)
Return, is bell tamper return but to where.
Any help would be appreciated

I recently had exactly the same problem with a new Cequra. 2 beep arm gone and generally flaky siren response.
After much testing I changed the timing of Tone1 400ms Tone2 (=pause) to 300ms AND had to take the resistors out.
Seems like Comfort was struggling to control the siren with them in even though the SRN+/- voltage was 13v.
Don\'t forget to adjust the Siren type Armed Away to 1.1s (400+300+400ms)
