Anybody know how to hardwire an external sounder to a powermax complete panel. There is 4 hard wired connections. I'm using a Texecom Odyssey X-B (E) and I have a 2.2k ohm resistor which I need to use but not sure where.

Have you looked at the visonic manual yet?

You need the output module for wired SAB's.

It's already got connections for 2 wired zones without the expander module. Just don't know where the resistor goes.

You can't connect a SAB correctly without the module, IIRC the there is no neg or tamper return without it.

It's only suitable for a internal siren, does explain all this with diagrams in the manual.

You also need to set bell in SCB mode

And one of these I think swb means

And I assume the bell tamper is programmed via one of the wired zones and you can use the pgm output

 

You may already have this card installed so check , it's a bit tricky if you don't know what your doing 

 

You may need to hire a "real" alarman or local alarm house basher will do it cheaper perhaps just as good 

Any idea where to purchase the 2 resistors (2.2k ohm) from required or do they come with the expander module thanks.

They probably come with it, but Maplin RS or Farnell sell resistors
