Dabsbhatti Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Hi All I've got a Honeywell galaxy g2 44+. The system served me well for many years but was decommissioned for about a year due to building work (when I say decommissioned I mean the builders decided to remove power and unplug it all). Anyway I've got it all installed again, I want to check a couple of things please:- I previously had just an Elmdene internal speaker (16ohm) connected to the panel output 1002 (SPK driver) and to +ve AUX. Now I want to connect a second speaker as well as the Elmdene. I have a CQR Alto Extension speaker (Piezo) rated at impedence better than 16ohms. Can I wire the two speakers in series? The instructions online for the Alto says it doesn't require a +12v power supply. I can put a resistor on parallel with the alto to ensure total resistance of the series circuit is approx. 16-20ohms. How does the Alto piezo work if it doesn't need +12v connected. Sorry I accidently posted that without finishing. Also I've got zone 1016 set as a spare and the system is telling me RF fail for zone 1016, not sure what is causing that? I haven't got any RF peripherals configured (but I did have in the old programming when the zone was in use). I thought "spare" disabled RF supervison, resistance checking on the zone etc. Any advise appreciated. Thanks Quote
al-yeti Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 If you go I to that zone is a serial number still present? Delete it, think it was with b or * key can't remember lol Alto won't work Quote
Dabsbhatti Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Ok thx. If I scrap the Alto then, can I put two elmdene 16ohm in parallel for a total of 8ohm. or is there any other 2nd extension speaker I can use ( I need a low profile one if possible, the other half doesn't want a chunky eldene one).

Dabsbhatti Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks Muppet mod, serial number was present and removed as suggested - All working ok now. You may be interested to know the Alto and Elden working fine as internal speakers connected in series on output 1002. Quote
