sean07 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Anybody know how to hardwire an external sounder to a powermax complete panel. There is 4 hard wired connections. I'm using a Texecom Odyssey X-B (E) and I have a 2.2k ohm resistor which I need to use but not sure where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 You need the output module for wired SAB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean07 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 It's already got connections for 2 wired zones without the expander module. Just don't know where the resistor goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't know where the resistor goes. You can't connect a SAB correctly without the module, IIRC the there is no neg or tamper return without it. It's only suitable for a internal siren, does explain all this with diagrams in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean07 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Any idea where to purchase the 2 resistors (2.2k ohm) from required or do they come with the expander module thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably come with it, but Maplin RS or Farnell sell resistors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
