About Alarm Siren 5 155 dB 12 VCD. My question is how is it operated or what is the source of power to operate this device. Is it battery operated ?

This is a car or house alarm system siren. I bought it to go outside my house in addition to the inside siren to make sure my neighbors hear my alarm going off. It hooks up to the bell connection on the wiring panel, along with and on top of the inside siren wires. It is powered by the system which I believe is 12vdc. You could use this siren for other purposes using 12v but do not use a regular speaker in the place of this siren for an alarm system. I am told it will fry your alarm system. I hope this helps to answer your question.

The alarm is very loud, you will hear a siren before you ever see the red light. The siren and light will run until the batteries die. There is no way you could miss it!

Thanks for your question. This unit is not battery powered. It runs on AC power and comes with a 6' power cable and AC adapter. It is a wonderful sounding unit.

Nope, backup siren is incase they cut the wires to your primary siren, backup battery is in case they cut the battery power to disable the alarm. If the siren is hard to reach, you will be fine. What many do is pop the hood and cut the power to the battery. I myself just have the backup battery

It's battery operated or you can wire it into your current door bell. We are using it with the batteries. It works great and we have not had any problems with it.

I think it was 329maIt was about 110dB at 12vI 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.

Depends on your system. This unit feeds off my aux battery system. Would take a lot to kill that, and if it did, my alarm kicks on at any voltage lower than 11. But if it did 'go dead', I do not believe that this has an internal battery source.

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

The siren is activated by the Security System (Alarm Panel) by supplying 12 Volts DC to the siren. The activation and timing of the siren is controlled by the settings in your alarm system.

This is just a sensor, so it doesn't produce any sounds itself, but rather just sends a radio signal to the main unit, which then decides based on the current mode whether on not to activate a siren, which BTW is ear-piercing loud.

It's powered by 12v leads... Either use through your alarm system aux or straight from your vehicles electrical system���

I looked at the manual online and it has a backup battery that keeps the clock and alarm running, but won't power the speakers or radio, which is a disappointment. I hope that helps.

The OUTDOOR or EXTRA sirens (not the little one that comes with the main unit for indoor use) - does need 110v outlet (it actually uses like 12v - the transformer is in the plug - so don't be tempted to cut the plug and wire direct or you'll fry it. - yes - I did just that. :( but thats all it needs - it doesn't need any other wiring from the alarm - the activation comes thru wirelessly and yes they are very loud. Also - I've called the Fortress tech support a couple times to ask about other accessories, etc. and he is VERY VERY helpful and calls back fairly quickly if he can't answer so don't be afraid of purchasing this unit. We installed our entire system in 2 buildings in about 25 minutes. The stick-on door sensors have fallen off a couple times (triggering the alarm) - but we just took them down and screwed them in. I don't think we cleaned the surface very good so the glue didn't stick. I had a dif. system and never used it - so I upgraded to this system and love it - its so simple to operate.

Yes, I bought mine with the same intentions. I have a ADT system that came stock with internal siren only. You'll just have to take your electric meter out and find which connections are hot when the internal alarm is sounding. Once you find that connection just hook the new ademco siren in with it. FYI, ademco only needs power to sound off....

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.

No the strobe siren isn't loud enought so i brought a bigger 30watts siren which it was loud.This strobe siren doesn't use battery just plug it into any 120 outlet.

It is powered by 12 volts DC supplied by an alarm panel. It is designed for this purpose only. If you want a 120v or battery model, they are available at most hardware stores.
