Adding 240V Devices to Alarm Panel

HarryBrown · 7 Jul 2015

Hi All,

I have a Texecom Premier Elite 48 Panel. I would like to add a 1000w external floodlight and a high powered internal strobe light, that are triggered on alarm activation .
Would someone be so kind, as to advise on what additional components I would need to trigger these devices, and how one would connect this setup to the panel?

Many thanks in advance.

1kW floodlight? Coo, that'll want some big contacts!! Why not opt for a couple of hundred watts of LED - it will last longer and be cheaper to run. Also, the inrush current surge is less likely to fry your relay contacts.

Thanks for this. I have ordered one. Where would I connect this to on the panel?
As it is a light I wish to power, I don't really want it to stay on. Maybe just for the duration of the alarm and then switch off.
Is there any way to do this?

I have just downloaded the instructions and it has a timer built in. Do I just connect this to the bell or siren output, or something different? Thx
