Hi
I am planning to install a Visonic Powermax Complete at my home & I have an existing cable already run to the bellbox position & would like to install a wired bell to avoid having to fit & change batteries.
I have seen on Visonic's website that they supply an expander card which allows the connection of a wired bell, can anyone confirm if a seperate 12 volt power supply is required to add power for the bell? Would I need a seperate power supply & relay? I have a Texecom Odyssey 3E bell. Also are the connections on the expander card similar to wired panels with connections like NEG STROBE, OV, TR, - & +?
Additionally I am interested in fitting a GSM-350 to send voice messages upon alarm activations, etc., has anyone had experience in fitting these? I've installed a Powermax Plus years ago & connected the dialler to the phone line to report activations, does the GSM-350 send the same type of reports like intruder, tamper etc.? I'm a sparks by trade.
Thank you
Regards
Joey
