Im wanting to connect 3 sounders all in SAB mode, i have an additional power supply. Any one got a wiring diagram? Its a guardtec 350+ panel, guardsound 2 internal sab/scb sounders and 1 external sounder with strobe.

Well, the easiest way would be to connect them all to the control panel and set the 2 internal sounders to SCB. That way, the Gardsounds will draw the sounder current from their own internal batteries rather than from the panel.

Fiddliest way would be to connect a relay to the bell output on the panel, wire the pos and neg from all the sounders to your PSU (don't forget a battery for your PSU) and use the relay off the panel to switch the negative trigger to the sounders (send a neg from the PSU to the common contact on the relay, and connect the negative triggers from your sounders to the normally open contact on the relay)

will the panel run 3 in sab mode? Sounds like a lot for a little panel

He did say he has a separate PSU!

I would go with the relay option if you don't want the SCB configuration, But you will need to series tampers

ve hav ze nolij or if not we ask!!!!

imho by using a 370 panel (a good BUDGET panel) i just think this project is doomed to many tears,

it can be done, but all the money is going on making loads of noise with many sounders - so i ask what are you protecting? that many sounders indicates high perceived value, and why if that valuable i'd ask why are you scrimping by using tbh the bottom end of the market budget control panel?

sorry o/p - but it just don't add up to me, you might as well ask as example how to tow two 10cwt trailers - with a reliant robin :unsure: .

er- the O/P says he`s got a 350+

anyway, simply power the sounders 12V and 0V from the power pack, take the trigger from the panel BUT link 0V on the panel and 0V on the power pack - job done

ooops a typo,

my advice is still the same, minimal spent on panel but feels in his own risk assesment he needs so many sounders?

just begs the question what on earth is being protected to me? whatever, it is going to make the neighours ears smart a bit so no poularuty contest will be one, and what if he is out but family at home? system trips they can't stop it, risk of hearing damage to infants or pets, just so many possible bad things against this idea in my book

if this o/p starts to connect all those up which one will he start at to keep the neusance down? if he knows what he is doing then some chance of a quiet success - maybe, but still a really bad idea imo.

why not just go for an sab and master blaster up in the eaves and spend out on a better panel?

(then at least he will get rid of any wasps or bats every time it activates :lol:)

master blasters no good, should never be relied on as a sounder either.

350`s a multizone panel, fully compliant at the time - the only thing it`s missing is a time date stamp.

if he wants a sounder on each floor and one outside whats the problem .............. ?

i don't agree on master blasters, as long as its not the only external sounder and just wicked used internally - make your ears bleed :whistle: .

rest i already covered
