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.

 

If you talking standards, the extension speaker must be heard though out the entry / exit route

and if using apps or ia1501 throughout the building.

 

but on a galaxy, and hkc you can mimic a speaker with a sounder from voltage outputs

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.

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

Does nobody fit sound bombs anymore?

Nah, master blasters.

Still plenty sold

I use the 2-holed ones as they are easy to hide.

2 holed?
