Nope, it is extremely modern, latest tech.old school air raid/ PO siren then
btw 127 is mb limit for a reason
)I'm aware of the reason for 127dB but as I have no neighbours and can view the site on activation and therefore turn it off remotely I don't need to leave it running if help is on-site.
im not sure its 127/8 but know hearing damage occurs below that
"10dB Absolute silence
13dB Incandescent light bulb hum
15dB Pin drop from a height of 1 centimetre heard at a distance of 1 meter
30dB Totally quiet night time in desert
40dB Whispering
60dB Normal conversation
85dB Beginning of hearing damage range, earplugs should be worn
100dB Normal average car or house stereo at maximum volume
110dB Car stereo with two 6 x 9” speakers and 100 watts
116dB Human body begins to perceive vibration from low frequencies
120dB Front row at a rock concert
125dB Drums, at the moment of striking
127dB Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) begins. Permanent hearing loss
128dB Loudest human scream
130dB Typical professional DJ system
130dB Marching band of 200 members
132dB Eardrum vibration noticeable
133dB Gunshot
135dB “Very loud” street car stereo. Bass only
140dB Threshold of pain, all frequencies
140dB Hearing protection required (definite long term damage)
140dB human throat and vocal cord resonance occurs
141dB Nausea felt after a few minutes
144dB Nose itches due to hair vibrations
145dB Vision blurs due to eyeball vibration
147dB Formula 1 race car full throttle drive bye
149dB Human lungs and breathing begins vibrating to the sound
150dB Loud rock concert, at speakers
150dB Sensation of being compressed as if underwater
152dB Vibration is painful and felt in joints
153dB Throat vibrating so hard it is impossible to swallow
154dB Compression will burst child’s balloon
155dB Experience cooling from excited air movement, up to 15 degree C perceived cooling
158dB Inside of a rock concert speaker bin with 5000 watts power
160dB Flashlight exhibits electromagnetic pulsing (dimming during tone)
163dB NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters- 5000 to 7000 horsepower
163dB Possible glass breaking level
164dB Internal sound pressure of a large jet turbine
165dB Jet airplane, Example: Boeing 727, at take off
170.75dB = 1 pound per square inch
172dB Fog is created, depending on the temperature, dew point and humidity
174dB Air begins to heat up due to compression
175dB Quarter dynamite stick, very close pressure may exceed 210 db.
177dB = 2 pound per square inch
180dB 1 pound TNT at 15 feet
181.6dB Loudest extreme SPL car in the world
183dB = 6 PSI. On large scale would result in total destruction of all structures, and particle velocity of 180 miles per hour.
191dB 1 lb. bomb or grenade at blast epicentre
193.979dB 1 bar pressure, 14.504 pounds per square inch
195dB Human eardrums rupture
202dB Death from sound wave (shock) alone.
210.6dB Earthquake Richter scale equivalent 2.0
213dB Sonic boom generates approximately 1.2 gigawatts power equivalent
215dB Space shuttle launches exhaust, approximately 3 miles per second
215dB Battleship New Jersey firing all 9 sixteen inch guns
216dB Equivalent to a piston engine cylinder with a 9 to 1 compression ratio
235.19dB Earthquake Richter 5.0 or 31,624 tons of TNT
243dB Largest non-nuclear explosion ever, 1947 explosion in Nazi u-boat pens used 7100 tons of explosive
248dB Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, August 6th & 9th, 1945. Total disintegration of 16 square miles, wind was around 300 miles per hour, destroyed 28” thick concrete walls at 1 mile distance. Leaving a crater 633 feet wide and 80 feet deep. ..equals also the sound (~shock) of the wind inside the core of a fully fledged tornado (a relatively powerful one, destroying everything on its way, lifting cows in the air and moving cars at a distance), devouringone3
286dB Mt. Saint Helens volcanic eruption
310dB Krakatau volcanic eruption 1883. Cracked one foot thick concrete at 300 miles, created a 3000 foot tidal wave, and heard 3100 miles away, sound pressure caused barometers to fluctuate wildly at 100 miles indicating levels of 190db at that distance from blast site. Rocks thrown to a height of 34 miles."

Thanks for the info Dick, but how is it louder than a Master Blaster.. is it mains driven ?
It is mains driven, Charlie, and registers more than 127dB.
-
backlit too?
The original bell boxes are stainless, James, with a led light. I don't like any of the modern white plastic boxes.
-
Dear me, arguments again ! whatever happened to a good old fashioned dialler ?
Charlie, I fail to see any argument but statements without much or any thought like 'al yeti's' should be clarified. James likes his apps, I don't. I like my texts/calls and James doesn't. That doesn't constitute an argument.
-
Well c'mon Dick, give us the specs.
It's loud, Charlie, and has a battery back-up but not available to buy off the shelf. It's a Whelen hybrid if that tells you anything, with a choice of tones and accompanying equally over the top matching light. The 'normal' bell box and light operate too just in case the main siren blows itself off the wall.
-
My one. It makes a Master Blaster sound like someone's just fàrted.
-
Another option if the alarm is working fine and you don't want to disturb anything is to fit a better GSM dialler for arm and disarm functionality.

Peter, wasn't the DPA amended last December to prevent filming outside a domestic property? https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/cctv/I agree, Police officers seldom know the law regarding CCTV I had one try to tell me that I could not have a camera viewing the customers car as it viewed the street. I was so surprised that not only did she know the law that she was supposed to upheld, but she was spouting complete and utter rubbish to someone that is familiar with the laws regarding CCTV. I have many times had to explain to the Police how to use the evidence that we have recorded for them, if the system is not compliant then it has to be used to get an admission not as evidence.
"If your camera covers, even partially, any areas beyond the boundaries of your property, such as neighbouring gardens or the street, then it will no longer be exempt from the Data Protection Act (DPA) under the domestic purposes exemption. This does not mean that you are breaching the DPA but it does mean that you are subject to it."

Gates, garages, lights-internal/external, heating, siren, curtains, alarm.what are you controlling.
i prefer an app rather than sending obscure text message strings.
ie my hkc panel runs my heating and external lighting via its app.
I prefer sending obscure text message strings rather than using an app being controlled by any number of unknowns, servers and potentially risky updates to name 2

if you want flexibility like that you dont want an accenta and a text dialler, you want a big panel and a gsm unit. ie the siemens spc panel. plus you can use apps on your phone to control, view status etc.
Albeit it isn't an Accenta panel but I regularly use my many outputs via either text or phone call rather than the need for using third party apps which I like to steer away from where security is concerned.
-
I read it thanks and the OP also mentions in post 11 about its expansion possibilities in the future.I think you should read the original question and then look at general dig and what they fit, many diallera never use there outputs , simply used for notification
So will be suprised if they ever get used by most diy fits , just an opinion
-
I will be suprised if you connect many other outputs, maybe one at the most
Surprised? So what do you envisage the outputs being used for?
-
That only has 2 outputs though. Is it expandable?
The V2, on the other hand, appears more feature rich if the SW write up is anything to go on. More importantly the V2 GSM has 6 on-board programmable inputs (Expandable to 14) and 4 on-board programmable outputs (Expandable to 52). As an end user I'm using 13 outputs and never had an issue.
As for its compatibility with an Accenta panel, I'll pass that one on.

I've had any years of non pîss poor automated service though, James. I operate mine every day for several applications without a hiccup. As for Alarm notification I get what you say about it not being trusted like other regular polling methods but again I've had no problems to date.
