how do i add an extra sounder/sound bomb + strobe to alarm system?
Hi, just fitted an alarm system to my property. in the future i will be adding a zone to my yet to be build garden shed. i have ran in an 8core cable for this. how would i add an extra sounder and strobe to to the system to be installed in the shed? would this overload the panel? i was planning to fit a pir in shed, so then i would have 2 cores spare for this.
the panel is an accenta G4 and the existing sounder is a pyronix deltabell plus
As its a diy system (Grade1) you prob wont be bothered by regs etc. If you do put a sensor in a shed fit a passive/microwave sensor as you'll less likely get false alarms from spiders. As for a sound bomb use the 2 spare cores to power it from the +12 and bell trigger connections. I wouldnt bother with a strobe in my opinion. Easy enough if you have already fitted the rest of the system yourself.

Look at the panel specifications.
Look at what is needed for what you requirements.

I cannot assist as your not going to do anything that slightly meets standards I work to and I would never recommend short cuts if you`re depending on the system.
