bell box ringing?

Bellbox ringing for no reason?
could it be the battery or the weather?
any suggestions?

Or is it just chirping a few times a minute, could be a Risco box with the chills. They did have that fault.

There will be a reason!
Is the mains power still on? If it isn't, and the panel back-up battery has failed, a bell box will sound from it's own internal battery.
If it's not the power, look for "tamper" faults or panic buttons having been pressed - but either of these should trigger the panel sounder as well.
My guess is the weather has got into connections in the bellbox - especially if it's an old bellbox.
