Reusing ADT Accord Bellbox/Strobe

Recommended Posts

Having tired of ADT's lack of customer service and increasing charges I cancelled my contract and have installed a wireless system. I would like to make use the Accord bell/strobe but only have 5V available at unknown current from my new alarm. My idea is to use the 5 volt alarm signal to trigger a relay, how do I wire the Accord side of the relay? I assume it is 12V and I have a couple of spare 12V 1Amp power supplies.

Many thanks

Relay would only be fire the trigger , so you need the 12v / 0v for charging and hold off , 

 

When you say your Chinese DIY has 5v only is that a pulsed on alarm output 

 

What is it your trying to connect it to

 

I assume lack of customer service happens ,it then again your security probably isn't high priority either to be fair 

 

 

What's the crack dude?

Ah thank you. I suspected that would be the case.

Security is certainly an issue but so is money which is now in very short supply. Our road is bristling with security cameras so it would be a foolish burglar who ventured our way.

 

Nothing a hoody and mask won't get passed , it's the norm these days lol

 

But it would have been cheaper on long run to get a bells only alarm then with no monthly fees from a local install which works 

 

What was the ADT system that was there before?
