Wiring For Reson8 Sounder On Galaxy Dimension 96

[pwho]

Hi All,

We bought a Dimension 96 to play with for integration stuff (as we mostly do Mobotix IP cameras on the security side). We've got our heads around most of the basics now, but are struggling to wire in a couple of Reson8 external sounders. The wiring schema given on the Reson8 is:

Reson8 -> Panel

STB- -> -Strobe or -ST

Trig- -> Bell-

Hold off- -> Tamper Supply-

Hold off+ -> Bell+

Rtn- -> Tamper Return-

The Dimension installer manual is very sketchy on output details and programming, so we're reluctant to just have a go in case we knacker something. As far as we can tell, it doesn't matter which of the 7 outputs (across RIO 0 and 1) we use, as long as we program them correctly (via option 53=Program Outputs).

If someone could help us with the following, I'd be really grateful:

1) is a default or preferred way to use the outputs for sounders, and how this would map onto the wiring required by Reson8?

2) is there a default mapping available under option 53 that gives us the required outputs, or do we need to program each on individually?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

yes you will need to program 2 outputs as bell and strobe.

You may need a zone or use the aux tamper inputs for the bell.

Id strongly advise you go for galaxy training if your fitting this professionally.

Thanks (again) for the feedback James. We're not installing this one professionally - just playing with it in a test environment to see what we can do with it and whether we can integrate it with Mobotix. If we do decide that there's a business opportunity in it, we'll either do the training or work with a sub-contractor.

if your lookin at triggering the camera then bell outputs probably isnt the way to go.

HAve a look in the manual for links.
