Humbert Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The siren on my Yale HSA500 system that I fitted many years ago has stopped working and I am unable to find a direct replacement. Can anybody advise what would be a suitable replacement wired siren for this particular alarm system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9651 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Christ thats a scantronic 500r!? Never seen one badged up as a Yale. How many connections are ther for the bell? Should be a 12v 0v Tamp Bell Trig Strobe (-) and possibly a Strobe (+) If they are marked up like this something like this should be ok http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honeywell-Intruder-Alarm-Bellbox-White-Blue-AG6-/220785950140?pt=UK_Burglar_Alarms&hash=item3367de3dbc#ht_571wt_905 If not you may need a multimeter to work out whats what depending how competent you are.

magpye Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Silmner I'm sure, but the 500r does not have a learn position above the keypad as does the HSA500 Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

Many thanks for your reply. There are 6 terminals inside the unit marked Bell 1 and 2, Strobe 1 and 2, Tamp 1 and 2. I have a multimeter if you could give me some advice on what readings i should expect and in what alrm state I should take the readings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9651 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd hazard a guess.... Bell 1+2........... One of these should be 12v, the other will switch 0v when the alarm triggers Strobe 1+2............ One of these will also be a 12v and one will switch 0v when the alarm triggers Tamper 1+2............. one of these will be a 0v, the other will be the tamper return. Most replacement sirens will only have 5 connections, disconnect the strobe in the panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The siren does have 5 terminals as you said, one is marked negative supply, can you confirm this should be connected to the tamper 0v terminal in the control box. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humbert Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hi Sorry for the late reply. Been away. In the end I did the following I bought a Intellisense AG6 external sounder and strobe. I connected BL1 to V+, BL2 to S-, TA1 to TR- and TA2 to V-. It works but the strobe is not working. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
