Texecom - connecting a sounder and speaker

[Jupiter01]

Hi,

I have two of these (upstairs and downstairs) with a cable each running back to the control panel.

I can see where a single speaker connects into the panel but was wondering if I can connect both in to the same terminals?

Also, which of the following are +12v and SPK.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like internal siren only and not speaker
You may need to connect to bell output
Post model number to confirm

 

[Jupiter01]

thanks for the reply. I was assured that it does speaker and sounder. I will check model number and confirm.

My apologies for misleading you @Handymanjo.
The details I've posted above are indeed for the sounder (and not a speaker!). This is situated on my landing and will blurt out the alarm siren as I understand it. I still have a question on where I need to wire this in.

In my hallway I have a Pyronix Twin Alert. I understand that this is a sounder and a speaker. This is near my front door so that I can hear the alarm tones when setting the alarm, as well as the amplification of alarm siren. The wiring of this is as follows:

I would be grateful for your advice on wiring this along with my sounder.

You might be able to open it up fully and gain access to the speaker terminals - in which case discard the siren PCB.

Do you have a view on this as I am hoping that it simplifies matters. Thanks again

So ..... do you want wiring info for CQR ALTO or Twin alert ?

 

[Jupiter01]

I require wiring info for my sounder and have posted a picture of this above. I also require wiring info for the Pyronix Twin Alert please. I've posted a pic of this too. Thanks guys.

Twin alert
12+ to bell 12v
0v to bell 0v
B to bell - trip
Speaker to Ls
Tamper to spare zone ( if used )

As per instructions supplied with twin alert !

 

[secureiam]

Power terminals, and bell trigger/ or output programed as such if 12V sounder

Speakers power and speaker- terminal

need to be careful on where your taking power from and what else is using that power.

do you have any external sounders on the system?

 

[Jupiter01]

Speaker to Ls

what's "LS"? And does the "SPK" on the Twin Alert not connect to "Spk -" on the panel?

 

[Jupiter01]

do you have any external sounders on the system?

I have two external sirens I need to wire in.

 

[secureiam]

what sirens do you have, as power consumption is the concern.

ie ody 3E uses less than and ody 3 when they are in the same mode

 

[Jupiter01]

I have 2 x Texecom Odyssey 5E External Sounder with White Cover

I would have to check the power the other devices take, is it the metal or poly 24, as without looking I am sure the bell fuse for the poly is smaller slightly than the metal.

you will have no issues with wiring in for power with just the two Texecom bell boxes connected but may need to look at where you take the power from for your other sounders
