How much current does this siren draw? In other words, what is its load on a security system?
192933
The ac to dc wall transformer that powers the siren draws 300 milliamps, or 3/10 of an amp. There is no load on the security system

can this be powered by a car battery? YES (car battery 12V VDC) Supply Voltage 12~240VDC or 24~240VACWhat I need is a loud horn or siren to go off if someone comes through a door Switching Capacity 250VAC/1A, 30VDC/2A Relay Output with 12 V max 2A = 24 Watts

This is a DUhhhhh question!!!! Of course you can!!! You don't have to get creative until you try to integrate it into an security panel, Because of the current draw, you need to get the security panel to trip a relay, capable of safely carrying the current draw of the siren. any sort of switch capable of handling 12VDC @ 500ma. should be fine ... A wall light switch will work just fine .For a nicer looking switch try an automotive store and they will even sell you the switch attached to a stylish switch panel.

Its come with a siren, but is conected with a pug, similar to the one used for the power supply. There is no wiring connection for the siren. Hope that help

Yes, as long as you pair up color to color and the power supply will handle double the current, no problem. If power supply cannot handle the load, you can parallel another power supply again maintaining color of wire just like you did the siren. Or you can just buy a new power supply with twice the current capabilities of existing one. When you parallel two circuits the current/amperage doubles and the voltages remains constant.Remember, match wire colors exactly to avoid possible damage to siren module(s). Good luck. note you can also rig up a motion detecting outdoor light to turn on a power supply and your siren in place of one of the lights, You could use an adapter that threads into the bulb socket and has a two pronged receptable that you could plug a power supply into.The one light will still light and siren will sound for a long as the light remains on, (this is variable in a decent outdoor flood light system. Oh and be sure and turn off circuit breaker that supplies AC when doing this as any movement will cause circuit to turn on AC power. Damned thieves have been known to steal the siren modules as well as all your tools so be sure and keep wiring, switches inside and lights and sirens as high as possible. jack

This is just a 100 Watt speaker. You will need to purchase the siren separately.

It is just a siren. You can power it with 12V and put an on/off switch or contact to control it.

The siren is activated by DCpower. It is designed to be used on an alarm system. There are no buttons.

I think it was 329ma It was about 110dB at 12v I used it in a dog room, to help stop barking. I hooked up a wireless 110v plug, that was hooked to a 12v wall wart, that was hooked to the siren. I ran the remote from my bedroom, to use when the dogs started barking too early.

That depends on what kind of siren you are talking about. Are you looking for additional sirens inside your house or a siren outise your house? I have two 104db Bulldog sirens hookup to this paanel without an issue. I believe if you want to run a siren outside your home that would require more power and you would need to wire up a relay and power transformer to power the sire. The panel would trip the relay and the transformer would then power the siren. If you can let me know what you are looking to do with the panel then I can give you some better direction on what it can and can not do. That depends on what kind of siren you are talking about.

We believe this uses low voltage , 24 V and a transformer that is tied directly to our security system. Hope this helps.

You would need to connect it to a compatible alarm control panel. The alarm panel provides the control signal and power to the siren.

This is just a siren, not an alarm system. When power is applied, it makes a loud noise. And when no power is applied, it is silent.

If you got the Abrams 100 watt siren , the speaker connects to the 2 green wires feeding out from it . The red and black wires on siren unit go to battery , the 2 yellow wires go to police lights if you have them

Most alram systems have a 12volt DC output for the siren or in your case the horns. Send that postive voltage wire to the plus terminal and the negative terminal gets connected to ground.ED

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.

I have no idea.... its 12 volt dc. if your system puts out 12 volt dc on line to siren it will work. just test it with a tester.
