Connect 2nd siren box

[Rudie]

Hi,

I have 1 front siren box and am considering connecting a second siren box at the rear. Can i feed a wire from the current siren box terminals to feed the new 2nd siren box?

Thanks.

yes, i have learned loads from this thread and the advice given from the guys. just embarassed that i got into this situation and paid to get an alarm fitted so badly.

Im assuming that not setting the LC, it wont damage the main board? will only blow the fuse?

probably the final question i have is now that i have correctly wired up the STRB in the siren box to STR- in the control panel, how does this wire up to the 2nd siren box?

Thanks tazz, do you mean this...

 

[tazz]

Thats it, you test and timeout functions will then work on both bell boxes

spot on, rudie, and a nice diagram.

guys, grateful for your assistance. diagram is thanks to tazz, i just updated a little. taz, not sure what you mean by your last post?

Sorry, just commenting when you test the system, the strobe test function and the continuous strobe after bell time out will now function correctly

 

[Rudie]

ah gotcha. i'll wait until a real scenario when the alarm goes off for 15mins (hopefully never get that situation!) to see if the strobe flashes after the siren stops.
when i add the 2nd siren box, i'll just walk test again and hopefully all should be ok.

Its easy to ridicule domestic work & trivialise it, but this, to me, is an example of pretty tricky stuff. IMOuke:

Hi guys, so far so good, walk test works for siren and strobe. Only thing I have noticed is that the flashing LEDs work on the new box, but not on the original, there is no LEDs flashing. Can anyone advise pls?
