need to delay voltage to siren
1733867
Smarthome.com has a number of inexpensive delay relays that should solve your problem.

I thought it was a piece of junk and would not buy it again. The instructions were horrible and I could never get it to work. I

No. Not unless it happens at same time every day. Check on a time delay relay.

This is just a siren (a good one). It's designed to be connected to an alarm panel and siren driver/battery to control it.

To silience the beeping sound when tripped, cut the cable going to the speaker in the main unit, but this will silence the main unit as well and you will need the remote siren to have sound. I don't know of a way to do it by programming. Hope this helps.

There is no button on this siren. I connected two wires to my home security system. It is like a speaker for the security system.

Just plug the external siren in to the sensor unit. WORKS GREAT! What a great inexpensive watchdog!

Siren requires DC power supply to operate. If the motion detector operates on DC you shold be able to.

This siren requires 12V to operates and a connection to the Alarm panel trigger by wire or using a wireless relay.

I've no idea. It's just a dumb siren, no software involved. needs power supply, apparently has built in amp and noise generator.

When the power is cut, the external siren is inoperative, but the siren in the control head continues to operate (internal battery) if triggered. I do not know how long this battery lasts.

The siren is not a stand alone alarm system. It is a signaling device. It must be connected to an alarm system.

The trigger amperage of a motion detector is not sufficient to power this siren, nor most any other standard sirens for that matter. What you will want to do is use a sensitive trigger relay in between your motion detector and the siren. You will also need to supply the proper voltage to the relay as well. That way, when the low voltage of the detector is tripped, the relay will connect the higher voltage to the siren.

No, this is a just a siren, it takes 6V 12V and must have a built in circuit to make its noise. I would check parts-express.com for PA equipment. They have very reasonable prices and good equipment.

You just need the 110 volts to run the siren. The siren talks to the main unit wirelessly without any further power connections

It is permissible to connect the red wire of the siren to the hot wire of the car's alarm without harm, but in order to have the siren sound only when the car's alarm is activated, the black wire must be connected to the car's alarm wire that leads back to the car's computer, which I assume, initiates the sounding action or the car's relay box that the computer controls. That may be easy or hard to find. If you can find and gain access to the car's sounder - probably the car's horn, then simply connect the black wire to the wire leading back to the computer from that sounder/horn.

I didn't know what kind of power was required; I hadn't installed it; my plan at the time of my purchase to use it was faulty. However, I decided today to make some measurements on the siren. What I found was that the siren required AC power; it wouldn't work on DC although at the beginning I thought it did for a moment.??? Applying 12 volts AC makes an adequately loud sound at that voltage, the pitch of which was related to the 60 cycle AC power. It wouldn't start sounding until the voltage got above about 9 volts. I raised the voltage to 18 VAC for a minute; the sound was a little louder and the unit withstood the higher voltage. The AC current it drew at 12 volts was 0.11 amperes. That is a power of about 1.3 Watts; not much. A small size charger with 12volt AC output will be adequate.

you have to use the wired siren of the system, the main panel doesnt have any sound

Open up the compartment were the actual alarm speaker is and unplug it. Then plug the siren on this wires and try it. If the noise is too low. Buy the bigger battery. The big square one they sell for the lanterns. That should work. Or use two 9v batteries, but try one at a time. Just run wires to the batterie compartment inside since the 9v battery or the big square one won't fit for obvious reasons. the last resort a car battery will work as well since they are 12 volts.
