thanks for the reply.
I have now done this but still have a problem.
the siren works fine when in best test mode,  but when I simulate an actually alarm situation it doesn't ??   the panels internal speaker sounds but no siren.    does this suggest a faulty panel or am I missing something?
what should the scb/sab selector be set at,  could this be an issue?
