Hi,
I'd like to connect an internal sounder to my Galaxy 2-12 alarm. Some background...
The system was originally a monitored Galaxy 8 with only an internal sounder fitted. The sounder had 2 pairs of wires - a red/black pair went from H+ and H- at the sounder to + and - at the HOLD/SAB location inside the panel (rather than where all the other sensors got their power feed), and a blue/yellow pair which went from RTN and R- at the sounder to T and "picture of bell" in the panel. The sounder has a tamper switch fitted.
I've since swapped the panel for a Galaxy 2-12, changed the keypad and some sensors, and installed an external siren/strobe. The original internal sounder is currently disconnected. I've used outputs 1001-1004 for the speaker/siren/strobe, so how do I wire the sounder?
Can I re-use the old one?
Should the red/black pair be 12v feed to the sounder?
If so, then where should I pick up 12v on the panel, from the same 12v AUX as the sensors?
Do I use a trigger header output to activate it? (I note that 0003 is already set to INTRUDER)
If so, then do I connect the blue or yellow to it, and where do I connect the other one to, AUX negative?
Or would I be better buying a new sounder/sound bomb (not sure of terminology) and using it instead?
All input welcome
