Due to various changes in the kitchen, the house alarm, an accenta 6, no longer works and has been disconnected from the main electrical box. So i was wondering what kind of perhaps interesting things i could do/investigate on the unit.
I was hoping somehow to get the wires to the outside bell box and set up a circuit to flash the light outside to make it appear functional. I have been unable to find the engineer's manual for it however, only the programming manual.
Anyone have any ideas? Or even the engineer's manual, schematic etc so i can begin tinkering?
No, but if you open it up there's probably a couple of drive transistors in there for the bell and the light. Might be a triac, good chance it's in a TO220 style package. Measure voltages first so you don't kill yourself, never trust that something like this is really disconnected from the mains, the bell and light could be on a separate circuit.
Or if you open it up and are still a little confused, maybe you can get some decent images of the innards and post links to them here for us to comment on...
