Help, How to wire a Siren

[mwal...@att.net]

I am wiring in a DSC SD20W siren into a DSC 832 panel. The
siren has 3 wires, one for common, one for steady, and one for yelp.
How do I wire this up to the control panel? Do I tie the steady and
the yelp together or do I select which noise I want to use?
Also, is there a way of wiring in two sirens to this system.
The installation manual recommended only wiring one. I live in an
adobe house and the interior walls do a good job of sound profing. I
would like to put one in the bedroom areas.
Thanks

Ah yes...use the common & yelp only. Connect it to the 832's bell output.

Common is negative (-), yelp is positive (+). If you use both wires, the
steady tone takes priority over the yelp. These type of sirens were
originally designed for older systems which had seperate outputs for burg

and fire bells. Most systems now only use 1 bell output, and pulse the
yelp on and off to indicate a fire alarm.
