External alarm box problems


Guest wesley

Recommended Posts

I am presently installing a house alarm. The internal control panel technical manual gives wiring diagrams for the connection of sensor circuits, keypad, internal sounder and external sounder & strobe box to the control panel. The problem is the external sounder & strobe box wiring diagrams doesn't match up, there's 5 terminals in the sounder and 6 terminals in the control panel.

The external alarm box has the following inputs/outputs: 1) Strobe trigger ST-, 2) Tamper return TR-, 3) Sounder trigger S-, 4) Positive supply V+, 5) Negitive supply V-.

The internal control panel has the following inputs/outputs: 1) Tamper return, 2) Sab Hold, 3) External bell + & -, 4) Internal bell + & -.

Can anyone advise how to connect these two items together, do i need resistors or diode's :( ....

Connect as follows: (Red is panel, Blue is bell box)

Tamper Return -------- Tamper Return TR-

SAB Hold -------- Negative Supply V-

External Bell + ------- Positive Supply V+

External Bell - ------- Sounder Trigger S-

There should also be a terminal in the panel marked Strobe -. If so, connect this to Strobe Trigger ST-.

If not or you have only used 4 core cable you can place a link between Strobe Trigger ST- and Sounder Trigger S- in the bell box. This will mean that the strobe flashes if the bell is ringing.
