Bell Box Wireing.

[Brian Burt]

I have 2 Honewell AG6 sounders to wire up to a optima compact panel The problem is that the wire for one of the bell boxes is built into the wall, and is only 4 core and cannot be replace with 6 core because of the fabric of the building the original wire was plastered into the walls from the first floor to the control panel. Can I wire up the two bell boxes to work together using 4 core for one and 5 core for the other..  Also how can I power " 12volt sound bombs" loud sounders fitted inside the house from the optima panel these sounders have no  electronics just 12 v to sound them. Any help would be welcome   Brian     

 

 

 

Brian welcome but please read the forum rules

From a DIY question I would suggest getting an alarm company out to do the job.

This needs to be set up right imo.

I'd agree. This isn't a DIY job, especially with the volume of sounders you'll need a 3 phase supply if you add anymore current load onto it!

I thought of using a 12 volt relay to switch  on the internal sounders powered from the battery and activated from the panel  strobe trigger of sounder trigger ?  I still have to work out how to mix 4 and 5 wires to the two outside bell boxes.?  P.S. I am a radio ham and can follow a circuit diagram but so far the 4 wire bell box has me stumped.  any thoughts lads and lasses.

Full, intermediate or foundation out of interest?

Relay will work providing your additional power supply is battery backed, as for 0v one wire , 12v another wire , bell trigger and strobe together on one looped together and use last for tamper return?

Plus i think the strobe latches. You could use your theory with a seperate psu and common the negs
