[eagleelectrical]

Hello to all,first post on here,but i'm sure it wont be the last.Fitted veritas R8 alarm before christmas to a friends plumbing shop.Today i fitted a door contact to the front door(door entry alert),and installed a loundspeaker in the back office,.Alert tone was very quiet,and wholesaler said to change speaker(changed but still quiet) and then new panel(changed but still quiet)......please help....

Have you connect both loudspeakers? The one that comes with/in the panel and your new one?

If so, have you done this in series or parallel?

There is a volume control on the PCB for the loudspeaker. This maybe too low, although from default it wouldn't be.

volume control is turned to max.Disconnected the speaker in the panel and connected loudspeaker up

Is the new loudspeaker 16 ohm impedance?

 

[Lectrician]

Length of run of cable?

Is the new loudspeaker 16 ohm impedance?

The total load including the built-in speaker must not be less than 4Ω (e.g. 2 x 8Ω speakers in parallel, 4 x 16Ω speakers in parallel, 2 x 2Ω speakers in series, 4 x 1Ω speakers in series, etc.)

It's a 16ohm speaker and run of cable is 3metres
