How do you wire power to a siren?
We’re going to wire power to the siren through the relay switch, so that when the relay activates, current passes through the relay to activate the siren. First, decide which output pin on the Konnected device you’re going to use to control the sounder.
Can a siren be connected to a konnected relay?
You can connect your wired siren to the Konnected device using the relay included in our kit or with a relay purchased separately (see our buying guide for suggestions). A relay switch is a device that’s used to switch on/off a higher-voltage device with a signal from a lower-voltage device.
What kind of power do you need for a VCC siren?
Any GND pin adjacent to the 3V or 5V pin used for VCC (depending on your relay voltage) Without an existing alarm panel, use a 12V DC power adapter to power the Konnected device, then we can draw power from the Konnected board to also power the siren.
Where do I find the siren wire on my alarm panel?
If you’re replacing an existing alarm panel, look for the siren wires connected to two screw terminals on your alarm panel. Disconnect the wire leading to the positive alarm output terminal (usually red), but leave the negative (ground) wire connected to the ground terminal of the alarm panel. Which Relay do You Have?
Where do you connect a siren to a power adapter?
Connect the negative or ground wire leading to the siren to a GND pin on the bottom left of the Konnected board (near the power adapter plug and U1 pins). More common in the U.K., some alarm system sounders will have four wires leading from the sounder to the alarm panel terminals labeled TRG, TR-, H/O- and H/O+.
You can connect your wired siren to the Konnected device using the relay included in our kit or with a relay purchased separately (see our buying guide for suggestions). A relay switch is a device that’s used to switch on/off a higher-voltage device with a signal from a lower-voltage device.
How does a siren work in an alarm system?
Most alarm system audible sounders simply have two wires leading to them for power, usually labeled ALARM OUTPUT or BELL. When power is delivered, the siren activates. We’re going to wire power to the siren through the relay switch, so that when the relay activates, current passes through the relay to activate the siren.
What’s the name of the Blue turn on wire?
The blue/white stripe remote turn on wire has a number of other names such as accessory wire, system remote control wire, etc… Some of the confusion about this wire may come from the different wiring methods between a factory and an aftermarket head unit.
