Thanks for your help hi and welcome siqveland, by internal siren you need to be sure you mean a unit where you input 12 volts and it makes a noise (via built in components) this is oposed to an 'internal speaker' which is usually (you guessed it) a speaker with a plastic cone driven off a special output in the panel. you can get either from Maplins Electronics (just google it), just be sure you know which one you need before ordering. using a speaker can be a bit overpowering when setting and unsetting your system, but will give more indication by the tone's of your systems status, often we fit one for this and internal sirens around the building to scare the intuders off. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Smoke Screen Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The panel has a piezo siren internal to it - but I guess you know this. It is fairly loud i think it is in the order of 90dB, but I have not checked.

Guest Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 If you are fitting an external sounder ( speaker) from the panel it is preferred to have a tamper circuit with it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
