2. ALARM OUTPUTS
2.1
Sirens
The control panel contains two siren/bell outputs, individually protected by a fuse.
It’s recommended to use the same type of siren or bell for both internal and external sounders.
Siren mode is default-set at factory. In Siren mode, install speaker-type sirens, which DO NOT
contain sound driver or electronic modules. In Bell mode install a 12V DC sounder.
Note: “3 siren beeps on disarm” (073-6) is not working in “Bell” mode (072-1).
Consider using one internal and one external siren/bell. As Siren, use speaker siren type with a
minimum power of 15W, and 8 Ohms impedance.
Enclose the outdoor siren in a metal housing, with Tamper switch for protection.
The alarm from the Siren differs according to the type of zone: 24H, Fire, Burglary (not in Bell
Mode).
‘Bell Mode‘ converts Siren outputs into 13.6V DC outputs (no sound is issued). Bell mode is
applicable for driving self-powered sirens or bells, or combined sirens and strobes.
In Bell mode, connect
only
Bell or
Siren with a 12V sound driver or electronic modules.
Piezo Sirens operating in the 12-20V DC range, are most recommended as Bell.
Self-contained Bell mode is programmable (address 073). Self-contained Bell mode provides
connection of Bells or Sirens that require 12V at ideal and 0V during alarm.
Starting version 2.17 siren voltage selector added, located in the upper-left side on the PCB. By
default set to drive 13.6V, fits siren and bell rated at 12V DC.
Warning!
Output power for each Bell should not exceed 0.65A (total Bell output is 1.3A).
Contact manufacturer's consultant before connecting higher power loads.
To connect self-contained sirens, Bells, and inner-oscillating sirens, refer to address 072, 073,
subject ‘Bell mode’.
