Connecting Piezo Sirens
Output 1
Onboard output 1 (OUT 1—terminal 9) is an open-collector (switched path-to-ground), program-
mable output that can handle a maximum of 200 mA current sink. The default setting (01614)
activates the output 15 seconds after a police or fire alarm condition occurs. This allows you to
connect a piezo siren without changing the output configuration number in programming. This
output is typically used for exterior siren application.
Output 2
Onboard output 2 (OUT 2—terminal 10) is an open-collector (switched path-to-ground), pro-
grammable output that can handle a maximum of 200 mA current sink. The default setting
(01710) activates the output for status and alarm tones, allowing for a piezo siren connection
without changing the output configuration number. It is typically used for interior siren applica-
tion.
For more information on output configuration numbers, see “Onboard Options Menu”.
Note
Piezo siren connections to
terminal 10 require a 2k
resistor that can be located
at the panel, since it does
not supervise the circuit. If
using an external power
supply instead of panel ter-
minal 4, the supply voltage
must be limited to 9.5 VDC
maximum and the negative
side of the power supply
must be connected to panel
ground (terminal 3).
Exterior Sirens
Hardwire Exterior Siren (13-046)
Connect the siren to panel as shown in Figure 16.
Interior Sirens
Interior Piezo Siren (30-006)
Connect the piezo siren to the panel terminals with a 2k-ohm resistor, as shown in Figure 17.
Note
The volume switch settings
inside the siren do not affect
the siren output.
Slim Line Hardwire Interior Siren (60-483-01)
Connect the siren to the panel as shown in Figure 18.

Installing Supervised Wireless Sirens (60-736-95)
Note
Power Line Carrier Card
must be installed for Super-
vised Wireless Sirens to
work.
Supervised Wireless Sirens (SWS) plug directly into electrical outlets and are not wired to the
panel. The panel (when powered by a line carrier power transformer) sends alarm and status mes-
sages to the siren, along the building AC wiring.
