I recently purchased a home with a Burns-Citadel alarm panel. Aparently this is a panel manufactured and local to Saint Louis. It doesn't work. Does anyone have a terminal strip lay out for this panel tha they can post to this group? I don't want to reallyy have to reverse engineer the wiring to replace the panel with a new one. Detection devices are pretty standard - window contacts. Doors have buttons in the latch plate for the deadbolt to activate the system. There is a bell box with a light. The panel actually has a tube in it. This ting belongs in a museum for old alarm stuff - not in my house. Tanks Doc

Put it in a museum.
Buy an audible toning device...attach it to a zone...go around opening doors/windows and you'll figure out the zoning pretty quick.
A tube? That's gotta be ancient! hmmm if it's really that old you probably have
2 zones...sounds like a fun project though
"ol' tech"
Burns always used Ademco equipt here in Pittsburgh for there jobs so i would tink it was strickly a citadel piece with a burns sticker on it .
