Is this siren intended for direct/exposed weather exposure?

They advertise it as indoor AND outdoor siren but this thing has holes on the back exposing the board and all electronic components. It's just a matter of time for rain and humidity to get inside, cause corrosion and destroy parts.This is not rain safe and wrongly advertised.

yes. you can wire it directly to a 12 volt source and switch. Sounds like the cops are coming. Great siren.

When you turn on your siren box and selector to wail (for example), you can hear, very lightly, the siren. My box had three sets of two wires (similar in color) in addition to the Hot wire and ground. I hooked the black and white wires to the set of wires that gave me the siren through the speaker.Jim

Yes, the transmitter is weather protected with rubber gaskets. Each transmitter sends a unique code and individually learned at the main unit, so it is possible to assign to each of the location positions and thus sound unique to each.

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

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 .

The device is weather proof just don't submerge it in water but the ease of removal is subjective depending on how tucked away the the wires are but it would be more of a pain to remove and replace every time it rains and if this is a concern of yours look into a blue tooth ready helmet with a clip in unit like a Nolan or hjc; but passing up this unit or any sena product would be a mistake.

I thought it did, too, given that it's supposed to provide "automatic warning" -- but it doesn't, unless the unit is turned on (if you're listening to AM or FW, it will automatically switch to weather station). Found it out after two tornado warnings didn't set it off -- the tornados that went through southern Indiana this week. I confirmed that with a Midland tech. Good device in a lot of ways, but I gotta by one that warns of dangerous weather whether it's turned on or not.

Nope, this unit is for listening only. Perfect for camping or weather emergencies.

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

I used a standard 12v plug in DC converter to an outlet which is controlled by my sensor system. If the security light has an internal sensor it may be hard to use it power the siren.

Yes, I've paired my ZCOMBO smoke/CO detector. It only sends events (Test, Smoke, CO); you can't trigger the siren remotely.

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.

There is a "home" function, that will sound, without activating the external, optional, siren. The built in tone is not very loud, if you were sleeping a few rooms over, it would not wake you. This is why the external siren is a must have, it is quite a bit louder, but honestly, for forty bucks, it is not very impressive, decible wise. This unit is only effective to alert people in the house, as far as hearing anything outside the home, it is not loud enough to scare off an intruder.If I was to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am using my siren with a transmitter an door sensor. I have mounted my siren 35ft from transmitter. I 'm not using the remote.

It has a dry contact momentary that will trigger many other devices such as a sounding device (siren Driver) or a zone in an alarm panel. It does not have a timing feature to time out a siren driver. This would have to be provided by the user. It is rock solid in all kinds of weather at the 75 ft distance I use it between the beam.

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.
