dwdave Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have never used the speaker output on the Galaxy Panel. Only ever sounders etc. What is the difference between the two? Thanks, Quote 'till the next question ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Speaker gives you different "speed"(whatever you call it) tones for faults or exit etc Sounder just sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 A sounder makes a noise, a speaker mimics the tones of the panel for different conditions (Fire, Intruder, Entry, Chime, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwdave Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Gotcha. Makes perfect sense. Quote 'till the next question ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie6 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It would make even more sense if the speaker or sounder is not mounted adjacent to a end station which, amongst other things, is supposedly placed in a out-of-site location. Mounting here would simply draw attention to the location of the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwdave Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yeah I'm all over the Wd's and CIE's. Sometimes I like to throw in some ABC's and mix it with a little 123. But .... I am planning to mount the extension speaker downstairs - probably the furthest point from the panel, and right above a PA trigger. Quote 'till the next question ...

dwdave Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Come on then - someone put me out of my misery. WD - Warning Device? CIE - Consumer .... EndStation? I dunno - give us a clue? Quote 'till the next question ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you talking standards, the extension speaker must be heard though out the entry / exit route Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

charlie6 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Nova Security "....If you talking standards, the extension speaker must be heard though out the entry / exit route..." I leave 'standards' to experts like yourself, don't know anything about them..just follow my nose..most of my work these days could be called 'troubleshooting' insofar that my calls are "...my alarm's not working and the installer has gone out of business..". In the past I have completely shut down all 'entry/exit' sounders (with the exception possibly of a few 'very quiet' keypads), either by design or request, so I wouldn't really know if current regs indicate that there must be a sounder at all times on the entry exit route. It may be feasible to suggest that the absence of a sounder 'could' leave a prospective intruder guessing. I am very much in favour of 'immediate' internal sirens though.

al-yeti Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Naa man , you need internal sounders , bells can't be always heard outside , inside you want them to leave asap , although they know they have a little time , noise inside will hopefully annoy them He won't be guessing much with a light beeping keypad , probably thinking ok I got 10mins to grab something as its quiet Need noise man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
