marcinp Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a Visonic PowerMaster 33 G2 alarm system installed at home without any expander. I also have Elmdene 7422-G3F external siren (ADT branded). I would like to use it with my alarm system. I have two questions: - What expander would I have to buy for my alarm - How do I wire the external siren to my alarm system I attached a photo of the siren. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote

The visonic bell connections are standard I thought if you download any of there manuals it will show Also do you have engineer access to the alarm panel? Is the alarm panel ex ADT ? Or you bought new yourself Quote

I didn't steal the siren. I hid the number because I keep reading that it is a bad idea to post serial numbers on the internet. (e.g.: https://www.howtogeek.com/294471/should-i-keep-my-techs-serial-numbers-private/). Am I too paranoid? If you are so kind to provide help and for this reason, you would need the number, I am absolutely happy to send it to you. I want to connect that siren because I already have it from an older ADT alarm and I would like to use it rather than buying a new unbranded one. Do you think it s a bad idea? Many thanks, M. 1 Quote

I can download the Visonic manuals but I can't find the manual for Elmdene unfortunately. There is a QR code that you can see on the sticker on the picture. I thought it would give me a url address for the manual. Unfortunately, access to the manual under that url is restricted. Quote

I thought that the ADT logo on my house would be a strong deterrent. Quote

I was told that I would probably need to buy an expander to connect the ADT siren but I am not convinced: Visonic ioXpander-8 Internal Wired Expander Module 9-103514 Many thanks! Quote
