I may have a go at vacuum forming my own bell box cover, to fit around a CQR MultiBox. Is the MultiBox any good? Anybody use them? If they are ****, ill just design my own circuitry :-) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/7/#findComment-483912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea how they are driven? Had an old Ventcroft Classic PCB from 1996 connected to my oscilloscope, and it is reading a very high voltage, I am assuming that it is done from the transformer on the board? Interesting waveform, it was moving in a very ordered pattern Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/7/#findComment-483914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyGuy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Typical driver for a piezo. You'll find many examples on-line. The waveform is probably a warble or the like. I'd suggest getting a copy of Horowitz & Hill 'the art of electronics' it's an excellent reference. 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/7/#findComment-483916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Piezo needs high voltage old school mylar cone speakers need less but require more power. I prefered the lower freq as it gives more range but looks worse on spec sheets at 1m securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

I would love to get my hands on one of the Lynteck sirens typically found in the bell boxes of the late 80s, or early 90s. Everyone had them. They are 118 dB, and make a distinct sound, any idea how they work? https://www.lynteck.co.uk/products/intruder/sounders/LY02-009-17.php these, I bet they have some sort of custom IC. 16 minutes ago, GalaxyGuy said: Typical driver for a piezo.

I will have a look online, I have seen a few, but I'm not sure if they are meant to drive something as loud as what I am after, although all I may need to do is ramp up the voltage to get the volume to increase Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/7/#findComment-483918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
