where do you plug AC adapter, in main panel, or in Wired Siren?

I also own this security device and.absolutely love it. The ac and the siren plug in the back of the control (keypad) device. The siren is extremely loud and i love the fact that it calls my cellphone (or a list of pre programed numbers) if an alarm has been triggered. All actions can be performed over the phone and im able to listen in on whats happening even if im not home. Hope this helps

It will work, but the AC adapter is the big drawback, which is why I when with a hardwire siren, which draw it's power from the control panel ( there are terminal in the back for the connection).

This siren requires 12V to operates and a connection to the Alarm panel trigger by wire or using a wireless relay.

Neither. It's 12VDC and doesn't have a jack for a wall adapter. You have to direct wire it to a 12VDC source. But that shouldn't be a problem because you have to wire the sensor wires back to an alarm panel anyway. So you can just use a standard two-pair alarm cable for both power and sensing. If you just want a standalone CO detector, there are numerous simpler and less expensive devices at most home improvement stores.

The plug is for the Big ac entrante but you can use an adapter for small entrance, regards

Most alram systems have a 12volt DC output for the siren or in your case the horns. Send that postive voltage wire to the plus terminal and the negative terminal gets connected to ground.ED

I attached mine to an aux. DC adapter and just plugged it into one of the aux. ports in the power center. works great!

The siren is activated by the Security System (Alarm Panel) by supplying 12 Volts DC to the siren. The activation and timing of the siren is controlled by the settings in your alarm system.

This is a car or house alarm system siren. I bought it to go outside my house in addition to the inside siren to make sure my neighbors hear my alarm going off. It hooks up to the bell connection on the wiring panel, along with and on top of the inside siren wires. It is powered by the system which I believe is 12vdc. You could use this siren for other purposes using 12v but do not use a regular speaker in the place of this siren for an alarm system. I am told it will fry your alarm system. I hope this helps to answer your question.

For your safety I would recommend you buy the 3 prong ac plug. This unit really should be placed into a metal case that can be grounded. You would tie the ground from ac cord to the metal case. I wouldn't recommend you run this open because there are lethal voltages. For the money this is a nice little unit what I notice the most about it was it warms up the bass and widens the sound stage.

Yes, you will need a DC power supply with an output rated within the voltage and wattage range of the siren, a switch and the wire to span the distance from siren, switch, and power supply. Note: the siren has 3 wire leads, usually white, red and yellow. White is common or negitive, and red and yellow are positive but only one is connected at a time. One is solid tone and the other is yelping tone.

Nope! I went ahead and took the pig tails from the ac adapter and exposed the bare wire and made my own adapters. Or I supposed you could also do a terminal block and wire it all in that way.

I didn't know what kind of power was required; I hadn't installed it; my plan at the time of my purchase to use it was faulty. However, I decided today to make some measurements on the siren. What I found was that the siren required AC power; it wouldn't work on DC although at the beginning I thought it did for a moment.??? Applying 12 volts AC makes an adequately loud sound at that voltage, the pitch of which was related to the 60 cycle AC power. It wouldn't start sounding until the voltage got above about 9 volts. I raised the voltage to 18 VAC for a minute; the sound was a little louder and the unit withstood the higher voltage. The AC current it drew at 12 volts was 0.11 amperes. That is a power of about 1.3 Watts; not much. A small size charger with 12volt AC output will be adequate.

Yes but if you find it is drawing too much current, ie. Panel is inoperable when siren going off, or siren sounds weak or distorted, you will need to use and external power supply and relay

Line in-from the equipment Main out-L or R send a cord from that to the sub

Under the dash, on the left of the steering column. There will be a black box with about 7 plugs, that is your main computer. You have to move it to get at the amp. Let me know if I can be more help.Not a fun job to R&R.;

An outlet, preferable. A simple power strip, fine. A surge suppressor, iffy, especially if it has noise filtration. A UPS, forget it.
