Hiding additional sirens in the house for yale 6400

spacecat · 6 Dec 2010

I am about to instal my yale 6400 alarm and have temporarily put up the dummy box on the front.

When I put up the real one, I was thinking about getting another sounder and hiding it in the house .....loft maybe so if they wrecked the one on wall the alarm would still sound which would confuse them a bit

Good idea our waste of time?

yes, you can attach additional sirens to a yale control panel. This is because when you attach siren(s), the control panel sends a radio signal "hello, siren"

the siren(s) receive this signal, but have no transmitter so they do not reply. So the control panel does not know how many sirens have received its signal, and the sirens do not interfere with each other.

Depending on the layout of your house, it might be useful to have a siren on each side, where it can attract attention. The sirens are very loud indoors, you might consider putting one high up out of reach in the stairwell; or attached to the ceiling; or hidden on top of kitchen units or under a piece of furniture. It needs to be somwhere that people cannot readily get at it and attack it. The flashing lights might make it easier to find if it is hidden, but I suppose you could disconnect them.

Thanks

clear concise answer to a simple question,
i thought it might be possibe, i was thinking maybe the loft near the front of the roof very hard to shimmy up there without a ladder and hard to no exactly where the sound was coming from

how many burglars expect 2 or 3 of the same alarm to go off in unexpected places they can see or find easily.

I would be surprised if you thought you needed another interior alarm.

Once you have heard your control panels internal alarm go off you will probably decide you don't need another siren inside the home.

However you can add as many sirens as you wish to a 6400.

My suggested uses for extra sirens would be

1 Replace the external dummy alarm with another working siren - put the dummy on your shed or garage
2 Put a working siren in your garage or on your garage
3 Put an extra working siren in your cellar
4 Put an extra working siren and a pir in your motorhome , caravan or van Anyone breaks into your motorhome or caravan would set off your home alarm - great stuff eh?

Just a comment worthy of note.
When the alarm is activated even if someone jumps up and down on the control panel in an attempt to detroy it the external siren once activated will continue to sound.
So if you do put another in the home it will keep sounding and chase them out once they realise destroying the panel has not worked.

I don't see the need for this interjection. I never made any comparative remark. You are beginning to behave like a troll.

Again too much catnip.
I meerly informed that any correctly hard wired sounder will do the same as mentioned about the Yale. And sound for longer.

You really have to have those chips removed.
