texecom oddysey 3 to 9600

[9600alarm]

afternoon all ive recently bought a scantronic 9600 from ebay and ordered a texecom oddysey 3 normal 115db version reading the specs it says it draws a total of 523ma which seems a bit high for most panels seeing as there rated at 500ma.

will the 9600 alarm system be able to handle 523ma what is the current rating on this panel the panel looks pretty big so i guess it propably can what do you guys think?

Just fit it , worst case set the link to low current ... But IT will be fine on a 9600 panel

thanks sparkymarka just wired it in on sab mode and works great with no problems. i have wired and connected 2 keypads, a panic button, 2 magnetic contacts, 4 pir detectors and a 16 ohm speaker and again all works great with no problems

does this sound a bit much or am in no danger, i found on the manual that the system can take 1250ma is this correct? cheers

That 9600 is from the early nineties , modern equipment take less so don't worry it will be fine...

A 3amp fuse feeding an alarm panel is normal, it's done from a non switched fused spur, a 1amp fuse is inside the panel.
