Hello all - some questions I have been thinking over I could do with your expertise on please.
I have a PSU200XP panel that I would like to connect 2 Odyssey external sounders to. I believe there is enough current supplied from he PSU200XP for them to both be connected as SAB as I only have a single keypad, two motions and three heat detectors connected.
Questions as follows:
1) Am I okay to run both as SAB or have I got my maths horribly wrong here.
2) I am running the tamper back to the Aux input on the panel, I believe it provides a -ve signal. If I wire both back to this terminal surely I won't get tamper events reported as if one stops providing a -ve, the other still will be so the expander will think it is not in tamper. Is there a second input I can use? I notice the Aux has two terminals, but I have only ever got this to wotk with one of them.
3) I have wired the sounders for power to the 0v and 12v terminals on the left psu PCB on the expander box - I was doing this because I thought it would handle the current of both bells better but I'm now doubting my decision. the right way to do it or should I be wiring to the Aux +v and -ve of the expander PCB instead.
4) Does the tamper relay do the same thing and should I wire that to a zone for each instead of the tamper terminal? My concern with this is a simply dont have enough wires though I could try to make some changes or run new cables but would rather avoid.
Thanks all
