Will this work as an external siren with a new simon xt wireless alarm unit?

Michael - in response to your question, I'm not sure. We have a Honeywell "Ademco Vista" series system with hard wire sirens and the set sirens I purchased, the Honeywell Ademco 702 are fantastic - they are so loud that they'll wake the dead. Our house has been broken in to on more than one occasion and each time the thieves have left without taking anything because the sirens are ear piercing and the whole neighborhood is alerted to the fact that something's very wrong. Once the sirens are activated the bad men flee in short order.

According to GE Simon, no. It draws too much current for both the XT and the XTi. Sorry.

Mine is a an old ADT system and it works. The piece that goes into the door is only a magnet. It's pretty simple technology. When it moves away from the wired part it activates the Alarm. I think would work on most alarms.

In my research I learned that a home or auto alarm siren should not use a regular speaker, this alarm siren works with such alarms that require an audible siren.

Yes, I installed it as part of an existing z-wave compatible alarm system, it immediately signed into the z-wave network and worked flawlessly.

Need a normally open relay and a 12v power supply for the sounder to make it work as a wired sounder. I installed a wave5800 wireless siren designed to be used with the L5100 system. Much easier to install and designed to be installed with the system

should work fine. As long as you have access to the inside of the cistern, you can install it. But, depending on how the cistern is built (if it is concrete with a concrete lid), if the alarm "speaker" is in the cistern, you may not be able to hear the alarm from very far away. If you can get the alarm out of the cistern, and pointed in a direction where you will hear it, you should be fine. weather durability may be another thing to have to address.

Sure can. I am using 2 wireless sirens in addition to the wired one in my application and it works flawlessly. You can add as many as you'd like.

Only hard-wired sirens work. X10 wireless support is listed in some places, but an X10-capable transformer was never produced for this model.

You can yes but depends what type of sensor you use , since the siren is 12 volts you would need a 12 volt sensor . I have a diagram somewhere maybe I can post . What you need is a 12volt photo cell .

I'm really not qualified to answer that. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the alarm to get their take on your idea.

It works with alarm.com and international control z wave by I dint know if it will work with your system

I am unaware of capabilities to do so. It simply works on z-wave tech to deliver a chime at the main unit. The only drawback I have is that the chime is not very loud an can easily be missed if other sound is present in the home

Probably as long as it has 12 v. Also you need access to open air to hear the siren which is in the control unit.

Like the previous poster said it's the same connector so in that regard yes. The other issue is the space to hold it and based on what I've read I would say Yes! (Fingers crossed). Don't forget only the native alarm will work when the speaker is in sleep mode .

The remotes will trigger the external alarm siren as well as trigger the alarm panel. Basically the 433 just listens for the panic signal and goes off when it receives it, whether if is from a remote or the alarm panel.

Thanks for the question!The EXTERNAL in the description actually applies to the fact that this alarm is not a part of the original alarm but hooks up by wire to it. However, we have heard from many customers who do use it outside with no issue. WE suggest only using it outside if it is protected from the elements, such as under an eave.

I am not a professional installer but I would say yes. This siren has it's own "driver" built in so it is easy to wire.
