| If your control panel has external dry-contact terminals, you can connect an external siren, security dialer, strobe light, or other optional security device. When a zone in the system is violated, the control panel's alarm sounds and the control panel activates the external device you connect.
Refer to the owner's manual of the control panel and of the device you connect for specific connection instructions.
Notes:
- Any optional signaling devices you connect to the system are supplementary only.
- Be sure all devices you connect are UL-listed.
- If you connect an automatic dialer, set it to call a neighbor, friend or relative. Do not set it to call a police station number that was not specifically assigned for emergency calls of this type.
- If you connect an external siren to the powered burglar or fire alarm outputs, the current drawn by the siren cannot exceed the output of the terminals.
- If you connect external burglar and fire sirens, be sure you use two distinctive sounding sirens or a two-sound siren.
