Wired External Sounders on Expanders
Figure 32 Wiring External Sounder to
Expander
Figure 28 shows a general method of using
the outputs on a wired expander to connect
a wired external sounder.
Connect the tamper wiring to an unused
zone connection on the expander. For 4-
wire CC zones use the alarm contacts only
and link the tamper contacts together with
a short length of wire.
In the Installer Menu, program the zone
with a type of “Tamper”. Program the
outputs used to trigger the siren and strobe
with the appropriate output types. See the
Menvier40/100/300 Engineering Guide
for
more details.
Single Wire Tamper Return
If the external sounder provides a single –
TR connection, then use the zone type
“Tamper Return” for the zone terminals
which receive the connection at the
expander.
FSL wiring
. Connect –TR to the left
terminal of a zone connector (see Figure
33). (The left hand terminal is the one next
to the “Z” on the terminal label.) The
maximum length of wire is 50m when using
2k2/4k7 or 4k7/4k7 FSL wiring and a single
core of standard 6-core alarm cable. Fit
EITHER a 2k2 resistor if using 2k2/4k7 FSL,
OR a 4k7 resistor if using 4k7/4k7 FSL. Do
not use any other FSL resistor
combinations.
CC wiring
Cooper Security does NOT
recommend that you use CC wiring for this
application. The maximum length of wire
allowable is only 6m. Instead Cooper
Security recommend using FSL wiring, as
described above.

Sounder to a Zone on the Expander.
Remote Loudspeakers (Optional)
If you wish to add a 16 Ohm wired
Loudspeaker unit, then connect it as shown
in Figures 30 or 31. The control unit
provides connections for one loudspeaker.
Expanders also provide connections for only
one loudspeaker. Do not connect another
loudspeaker in parallel. You may connect
another loudspeaker in
series
, but this will
decrease the maximum volume from the
speakers.
Note: Loudspeakers are not warning
devices as described by EN50131-4.
Although loudspeakers may mimic alarm
