kuchars22 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi all, The installation manual for the 9751 says that a "warbling" sound comes out of the 9930 RKP and from an internal sounder when a fire detector goes off. Can anyone confirm this? I haven't got an internal sounder yet, but if the RKP has a soudner for alarm and fire alarm, why do I need one? How loud is the sounder in the RKP? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpye Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 How loud is the sounder in the RKP? Not very, get an Internal sounder, has to wake you up remember Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

lawandorder Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Not very, get an Internal sounder, has to wake you up remember As suggested get an additional souner, the one built in to the keypad is really only designed to produce entry/exit tones and alarm tones at a low level.

Rulland Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi, Most control panels that can have a zone programmed as fire will produce a different sound when alerting the user to a fire alert. The common alert for an intruder activation is very high pitched and continuous-it's meant to be as uncomfortable as possible for the person invading your premises. The fire alert is normally much lower pitched and usually an intermittent sound-it's designed to make the inhabitants aware that there is a fire situation-and not force blood from their ears if they don't vacate the area !!!. My apologies-I didn't read the post fully-yep my answer will follow the last two!. B) Regards Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperMK2 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 A 16ohm speaker should be ample As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
