Hi everyone,

I'm not an installer but is was wondering if anyone can answer this question:

I have a Scantronic 9448M control panel to which i like to connect two smoke detectors. The smokes deliver +12V on their status output when triggered. Zone 5 on the panel can be programmed to be used for fire alerts. Now for the question: How can i connect these detectors to the zone input of the control panel? Do i need some sort of relais between the detector and controlpanel?

If you know the answer please let me know (with a small schematic?)

Thanks in advance

Eric

I think their normally used with fire panels and security systems. I don;t know the exact type but they are from Ajax (hexatron or something like that). They look rather professional.

Im not 100% sure but i dont think these are compatible with the 9448. I always use the exodus range from texecom.

You need 12v versions with a normally closed connection

you could use the 12v output to drive a mini relay with the nc connected across the zone

Thanks guys,

i think i will dump the ajax smokes and go for the texecoms
