Connecting exterior/interior piezo sirens

Onboard output 1 (OUT 1—terminal 9) is a 9 to 14 VDC switched, programmable output that can handle a
maximum of 1,000 mA current. The default setting (01614) activates the output 30 seconds after a police or
fire alarm condition occurs. This allows you to connect a piezo siren without changing the output configuration
number in programming. This output is typically for exterior siren applications. (For more information on
output configuration numbers, see
Note: For 24-hour backup, external power drain is limited to 90 mA (during normal standby condition), using a 4.5 or 5.0 Ah
battery, or 190 mA continuous using a 7.0 Ah battery.
Piezo dynamic exterior siren (13-950)
This siren is not UL listed for use as an outdoor sounding device. Connect the siren to panel as shown in
Figure 11.

Output 2
Onboard output 2 (OUT 2—terminal 10) is an open-collector (switched path-to-ground), programmable output
that can handle a maximum of 300 mA current sink and up to 14 VDC. The default setting (01710) activates
the output for status and alarm tones, allowing for a piezo siren connection without changing the output
configuration number. This output is typically used for interior siren applications. (For more information on
output configuration numbers, see
Hardwired interior siren (13-949)
This siren has two inputs; steady (#1) and warble (#2). Use the steady (#1) terminal for Concord 4 panels. The
siren also includes a cover tamper switch that can be connected to a hardwired zone input on the panel,
SnapCard or SuperBus 2000 hardwired input module. Connect the siren to the panel/zone input terminals as
shown in Figure 12 on page 25.
