Does this siren have a built-in tamper switch?

I did not install the unit. The Alarm tech who did advised me that there is a "tamper switch" built in.

Yes it has tamper Terminals. These terminals have to be wired to an alarm or Arduino to turn it on

It is another siren. Its like haveing a extra speaker. I have one that goes off in my house and this one is for out side on my system. They work off the same alarm. My alarm is set up inside the house. Thats were it is tripped from. I hope this helps.

I don't think so , the control pad controls the siren, now if you want to use a louder siren , you can hook into the alarm system , we ordered a larger siren thru fortress website , and it alerts between a 4 block radius . Good luck hope this helps.

No, it is the regular siren sound but also plays a little bit of the theme from the Cops police show.

Sure. Just unplug it from the control panel. But that means you'll have no siren inside the house.

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

Yes but if you find it is drawing too much current, ie. Panel is inoperable when siren going off, or siren sounds weak or distorted, you will need to use and external power supply and relay

From my experience with it, no. Also it will increase the range for the sensors but not the siren.

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.

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.

The siren is not a stand alone alarm system. It is a signaling device. It must be connected to an alarm system.

Yes, there is a built in siren in the main unit. It will also say which trigger cases the alarm. Even when not armed, it will tell you if a trigger is activated I.e. door or window is opened. I've been really happy with the system and it was pretty straight forward to install.

Not a professional but when my brother hooked ours up to the original unit it worked fine with the old siren and now the new one so when the siren went off during entry it blasted at both end of the house. I see no reason why it wouldn't work only on the panic side button but I would assume if its hooked up properly it should work either way. Thanks

There are two buttons on the top of the unit. One is an actual siren. I know there is honking also, but there are no voices (radio calls).

No, unfortunately it DOES NOT! That would be a welcome enhancement. It has a very loud doorbell type ding dong, and an annoying "line ranger" tune! I muffle the pager at night under a pillow on the floor near my bed. You can hear it all through the house!! On the positive side, it is sturdy! I've dropped it several times and it still works!!

If I remember correctly it sounds like a siren. The battery died awhile ago and we haven't replaced it.

Yes, the receiver (base unit) is in the house and has a selector switch to set the unit to a constant beep, to a siren or to OFF when a sensor is tripped! You in effect are not turning the sensors off, you are turning off the "monitoring" of the sensors.
