HKC SecureWatch Ext. Tamper

Homesick Alien

Hi

I've read through the various posts on HKC alarms and open tampers but I can't see any that address my particular situation.

Basically the alarm went off one day with me in the house and it took a few secs for me to realise as I had my headphones in, boppin away :rolleyes:, when I went over and put in the code the internal alarm stopped but the outside bell kept ringing. There was nothing I could do to stop it and it basically kept ringing for another 20 mins until it just shut itself off.

Now I can't set the alarm anymore and the panel reads "Ext. Bell Tamper". Does this mean there's something wrong with the actual bell outside?

Any help very much appreciated!

Could be a problem with the lid on the external bell, a cable issue or the bell itself has moved causing the back tamper to not close correctly giving this problem.

And my raincoat and torch by the sounds of it!

Ok thanks, so it is probably something with the actual bell then, I thought it might be the sensor inside.

Cheers I'll check that so.

If the internal bell tamper has being put in series with the external bell then it could be. My guess would be the outside bell has the problem.

I have exactly the same problem. Did you get it fixed and how?
