davidhodgkinson Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 As I've just installed this alarm, any ideas where I can wire an aditional internal speaker into the panel? Does the existing speaker have to be disconnected to fit the new (remote) speaker, or can both be connected in parallel?

These terminals are not on my panel/manual? I've got O/P 1 & 2 (communicator) And all the usual bell connections, 12V, Bell, STR,TR and 0v No speaker terminals Any ideas? www.randall-hodgkinson.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think it means you cut one of the legs of the existing speaker wire and insert your own terminal block. Wire your 16 ohm speaker into these in parallel with the existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 We have always just cut off the panel speaker and choc blocked a 16ohm one onto the existing cable. Works a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wire your 16 ohm speaker into these in parallel with the existing. The internal loudspeaker built into the panel will either be wired into two terminals on the pcb. Remove one and connect that in a connector block to one of your extention speaker wires and put the other extention speaker wire in place of the wire you removed from the built-in speaker. That should do it. The manual states the speakers must be in series ie daisy chain. Visit our website www.alarmsonline.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll place the other speaker in series with the existing one. Has anyone actually done this to a 500r? Will the volume level be that same? www.randall-hodgkinson.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 i wouldnt do it in series, it wont harm anything but it will be quiet, is it a 32 or 50 ohm in the panel securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
