I need a certain switch

[ETradesmen]

Good afternoon all, I was a victim of theft on Friday night. My van was destroyed and I lost some gear.

It was a peel and steal scenario where they’d forced entry through the top of my side door.

I have an alarm fitted but want to install an additional one with a high dB siren.

My question is, is there a certain switch or relay box that when triggered actives a siren? A simple micro switch is just an on off switch which is no good as I want the siren to go off indefinitely once triggered.

I have all the gear I need to wire this up it’s just the switch I need to work out? It has to be 12v dc.

hi little spark, I think this is what I was after.

would you be able to link the switch/trigger and a relay?

Double pole change over relay, one pole for siren, other used to by pass trigger switch keeping relay on, would need a separate switch to disable the relay feed, probably a keyswitch but keep it simple as possible.

Sorry to hear about your van, if you need any help wiring something up give me a pm,
