Tom Delaney Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Can someone kindly advise me? I am going to install a photo electric perimeter beam (Optex AX-100TFR) which has an alarm output of only 3.6 volts DC. All the wireless doorbells chimers I'm coming across use 12 volts. Is there a 3.6v wireless chimer available anywhere? Thanks very much for any replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 X y problem? They are designed to be connected to a wireless transmitter. Then use the contacts on the receiver to drive your wired sounder unit Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Out of curiosity ,it has a relay output I assume your having it on your drive and using it as an alert or something? So it's cabled back to the house? If so then you can use any PSU with extra relay and any chime But what do you mean it only has a 3.6v output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Maybe this version isn't correct for your application so explain application and then perhaps go for another model? Although you can get small low voltage buzzers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Delaney Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yes, this is to be used to protect a driveway - it DOESN'T have wired connections, it is a stand-alone battery unit. So any alarm output has to be wireless. On the spec, it says the alarm output is 3.6v http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/brochure/AX-100_200TFR.pdf So I assumed I can't simply use a 12v wireless doorbell chimer. Am I wrong? Thanks.

Tom Delaney Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm open to suggestions of a different product. I want to protect a driveway with a perimeter beam, but there's no way of running power out. So it has to be a perimeter beam that is battery operated. And obviously I need that to trigger an indoor chimer/sounder wirelessly. Any suggestions very gratefully received. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yes but those outputs can't drive anything they are pretty much logic states. You need to add a wireless transmitter for the system it is to be used on to relay to the house Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

datadiffusion Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 3.6v would be perfect for a Scanny 'Breakglass' IF board https://www.safetysystems.pro/item/12629-scantronic-breakglass-detector-pcb-only Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
