Plain & Simple. Its a Bell
I purchased this bell to replace a 30 year old Tate one which was getting a bit tatty. I chose this particular one for two reasons; the first being that the wiring seemed to match my old Tate system, and the second that its shape was going to look better tucked up in the gable of my porch.
Fitting wasn't quite as simple as I thought as I had a small problem with the polarity of my old system meaning the indicator lights never glowed when set, but its no big deal and I just made a simple electronic circuit board to modify it. The new bell is quite stylish and is much louder than the old Tate one. So much better infact that I'm now purchasing another for the other end of the house.Read full review

Great product
Well made and well engineered product, bought this to upgrade a bell ringer which was getting a bit weary. I also wanted a strobe system and a modern look to deter the casual burglar. This was coupled with an old but good ADE Optima Compact control panel which must be over 15 years old and was fitted to the property when we moved in. Nice and light and easy to install from a ladder, I just retro fitted in the place of the old bell ring alarm box using the old wiring.
The only complaint I have is that the LED's aren't very bright and have to shine through the blue Perspex window. When alternating the LED's the red one just shines through but you can't see the green one at all. I will change them over to constant to see if that is better.
I will be purchasing another one of these to replace the dummy box at the back of the house - I don't think these dummy boxes fool anyone so one with visible LED's should deter the burglar.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend this product.Read full review

Too dark lens
Strobe is too weak and lens is too dark so flash cannot be seen in daylight or if street lamp is close. The lens is so dark that the leds cannot be seen so it looks like a dummy alarm and is not a deterrent.Read full review

Honeywell ADE RESON8 Bell Box
Overall feel of unit is a bit cheap but once installed looks ok.
Rear tamper switch spring needed stretched to ensure it switch to the health position.
Unit PCB didn't seem to be greatly protected from the elements and this may shorted units life.
Good choice of options offered by the link contacts however the "flashing" LED option isn't easy to see it's effect even at night but otherwise works ok.Read full review
