daveharris Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi all. sorry to bother you late on a Sunday, but i have an issue that i'm hoping you can help with. I have a powermax+ alarm and a novagard6 external sounder with strobe. The alarm has been in place for a week now, and im slowly adding more sensors, but it seems to work very well. I only added the external sounder today but now i've run into a problem with it. Upon arming and disarming via the keyPAD, everything is fine. But, if i use the keyFOB, the external sounder sounds (quite loudly, only the external sounder though, not the internal one) for about a second when ever i arm and disarm the system, which is going to annoy my neighbours no end, and probably result in them disliking me quite a bit! Please, please can somebody help. , Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 think you will find this is 'chirp'. i don't use powermaqx but the same 'chirp' happens on agility and wisdom panels, used for siiations with high ambient noise where you have problems hearing the set/unset bleepers. look to see if you can program it off in engineer mode Arfur edit: its called 'squawk' not chirp, see page 20 of user instructions If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Guest Oxo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Dave I gave you all the answers and assisted the diagrams you gave over the past week. Also the final answer to your chirping sounder. Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2010 8:25 pm Post Subject: Help Wiring Novagard 6 & Powermax+ Hi Experts. I have an issue which I’m hoping you can help with. Basically, I recently fitted a new alarm which went pretty smoothly. The next stage was to fix the external sounder, and that’s where i’m struggling a little. I have: • Risco NovaGard 6 External Sounder (with LED’s and Strobe) • Visonic Powermax+ Alarm Ring any bells? Never mind I talked you thru everyting including the last issue, glad to assist.

Also the final answer to your chirping sounder. Ring any bells? Never mind I talked you thru everyting including the last issue, glad to assist. Hi, I appreciate your help, don't get me wrong, but when its dark and late and wet and im still up a ladder and the alarm keeps sounding each time i arm it, the neighbours are getting annoyed etc and i was getting a little frustrated that it wasnt working. The answer you gave me for the last step was "Turn off, siren when set." Although correct, I couldnt find this exact option in the pm manual, as its refered to as SQUAWK, and I was looking for chirp/sound/beep/noise etc and as I only had the ladders for a few hours, I needed to solve the problem right away, hence enquiring on this forum also. Anyway, all sorted now, so thank you both, you are both the MEN! lol , Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
