coolcreen Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I have just purchased a Honeywell Accenta Gen4 intruder alarm. While the installation manual is reasonably good, the wiring of the internal sounder is unclear. My old alarm had an internal siren connected in parallel with the strobe light in the external bell box. The internal siren is polarity conscious in that it must be wired up the correct way. No problem so far. I suppose I could connect it in the same was as it was fitted in the previous installation, but it doesn't seem quite right, When I look at the installation, it does not make any reference to an internal siren/sounder, but it does make reference to an extension speaker (16 ohms) that may be connected across a pair of unmarked terminals and they do not give any indication of polarity markings. If I connect my present internal siren to these terminals, there is a 50% chance of connecting it the correct way, My question is, where will I connect my ( think it is piezo-type ) internal siren to the Honeywell Accenta Gen4 panel and ensure that it is polarity correct?

Secware_Tech6 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 YOu will have to use the bell output. As the speaker terminals are AC and designed to be used with a speaker not a dc sounder Quote
