How much current does this siren draw? In other words, what is its load on a security system?

I can't tell you what the specific load on the system is but I can say it's a seamless install and will not impact the operation of any additional modules you have connected. But of course it depends on the type security system you're using...I have a 20ip.

This siren requires 12V to operates and a connection to the Alarm panel trigger by wire or using a wireless relay.

Yes, you will need a DC power supply with an output rated within the voltage and wattage range of the siren, a switch and the wire to span the distance from siren, switch, and power supply. Note: the siren has 3 wire leads, usually white, red and yellow. White is common or negitive, and red and yellow are positive but only one is connected at a time. One is solid tone and the other is yelping tone.

Hi there fellow "alarmist"! My siren has three leads: White, Red, and Yellow. White is negative. If yours has a Black wire instead, it's negative. Red to Positive makes the Siren YELP. If you connect Yellow to Positive, the sound is Steady! That's all there is to it... It operates on 12 VDC.Have fun, Walley Bendz

can this be powered by a car battery? YES (car battery 12V VDC) Supply Voltage 12~240VDC or 24~240VAC What 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

Not sure of current draw but it's very minimal. Only uses an 1 amp fuse. Works great!

Most any 12 volt transformer will do the trick. These sirens don't require many amps to operate to capacity. I'm sure Radio Shack could fix you right up or any alarm supplier.

There is a battery compartent in the light and siren unit. Just pop off the lights and siren.

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

The Mace 80355 has a ground and trigger output under the battery cover, ( the two left most connectors ) leave the jumper in place and wire to any 12 volt siren... If you need more volume you can get a 12 volt trigger relay and provide a 12 volt or higher power source ( I've used up to 17 volts for long runs to multiple sirens up to 400 feet away from unit )

The outdoor siren needs a 110v power source. It is triggered by the system wirelessly.

Yes as mentioned in the other replies. The siren goes under the hood and is connected directly to your battery with a positive (red) and negative (black) wire. The sensor plugs into your car's 12 volt outlet. The sensor has to be on to charge. To enable the sensor unplugged the senor unless power is removed from your outlet when the key is turned off. The LED will go out, this means the sensor is armed, but not the system. To enable the alarm system press the button on the remote and you will here 2 beeps for armed and one beep for unarmed. There is also a variable setting on the sensor to adjust sensitivity. The sensor is a wireless device that communicates to the siren under the hood.

Check and see if your security panel is equipped with a Z-Wave module. Siren is run off a Z-Wave network.

Just plug the external siren in to the sensor unit. WORKS GREAT! What a great inexpensive watchdog!

It worked fine on mine. You must watch mA draw from all other components of the system you put together though. I believe the 20p provides 2000mA and the Elk siren draws apx 1000 mA, but you can easily add other keypads, indoor sirens, etc till you exceed 2000mA and then it would not work without adding another DC power supply.

These small alarm horns draw practically nothing. They operate on 12 volts DC and can be fed from your alarm panel with #22 alarm wire. As far as amperage draw goes, I wouldn't even concern myself about it it's so small an amount.Hope this helps.R

Siren requires DC power supply to operate. If the motion detector operates on DC you shold be able to.

I use my IR detector for a local alarm siren. When power is first turned on, it will sound off for about 15 seconds. So to prevent false alarms I installedthe on/off switch on the output side where the siren is wired. The IR always has 12 VDC power on it. Not sure about your situation. Hope this helps.
