Why isn’t the siren mounted outdoors with a cover over it? Do you live in a flat? The circuit board in the control box really should have a protective cover over it.
I’ve never seen anyone mount a home alarm siren outside. Usually, it’s mounted in an attic, where the sound can easily pierce the roof but its still loud enough so everyone in the home can hear it. If it was outside, you probably wouldn’t be able to hear it very well from certain parts inside the home. And, in order for a setup to be “certified” the Power832 installer’s manual states that anyone operating the alarm keypad should be able to clearly hear it.
DSC 5010 is a great panel, but this has to be one of the worst installs I have seen in a long time.
NO ONE mounts a siren outside anymore and why would you need a cover on the board anyhow, the can appears to be in an attic.
POOOR install ; they did not even use a RJ31X!!!! the panel is just wired as an extension! Lazy lazy lazy
tell me about it i wounted to put in a concord 4
I’m starting to like the GE security products. I’m still installing Ademco tho, a website has really good prices on their systems.
yes i like ademco too it’s just thay are hier then the concord 4 but in our nest house i am going to do ademco
cool, r u moving soon?
no it will be a cuppel of years! what is the rj31x?
i have a 832 just mine is scary when it goes off
Nothing like that siren going off to get your your heart rate up especially when it false alarms.
I just finished a few days ago pulling my parents PC5010 system (Power 832) out and installed a new PC1832 system myself.
The guy who installed their PC5010 half assed the install apparently like the installer who installed your system which caused quite a few false alarms. When going through his install he actually disabled certain sensors instead of fixing them because of false alarms!
It allows the System Communicator to seize control of the telephone line when calling Central Monitoring … if your using a monitoring service you should really have a RJ31X.
Really doesn’t matter where you mount the siren … there loud and annoying and sure to get your attention inside or outside … lol.
House installs … in the attic (home owners find that more appealing) …. garages, remote buildings, etc … typically on the outside and pointed in the direction of the main system location.
I prefer strobe lights myself…. makes it easy for the police to verify the location in question and doesn’t piss the neighbors off by disturbing them.
Actually most attics are sealed enough so that sound can not easily escape. The objective of an alarm system is to get attention, so mounting that big 30 or 25 watt siren outside under an eve, or even better inside the attic but pointing out of a gable vent would be preferable.
AGREED!
The RJ31X actually does not allow the panel to seize the line, if you connect the land line at the tip and ring terminals on the panel it will still do the same thing. However if there is ever any question about the alarm causing a problem with the line then your screwed. The RJ allows the home owner to simply unplug the panel from all home phone lines, thus finding out if the alarm is the problem. Adding a DSL filter also requires an RJ31X.
I’ve run across this many times and it really sucks having to tell the homeowner that he or she hasn’t been fully protected for who knows how long. The 1832 is a good panel, did you upgrade the keypads too?
Yeah … upgraded the keypads to a PK5501 & RFK5501.
I actually have two systems … the PC1832 & PC1616 … the PC1616 relays from a remove location any alarms that occur to the PC1832 via a Linear Xtended Range RX & TX which is good up to 10 miles.
Sounds good, i like the new keypad design, though I’ve had cunstomers tell me they have some difficulty with the stay and away buttons. I guess for some the “man in the house” and “empty house” keys are not as easy to figure out as DSC thought
Only thing I had trouble with was finding the header pins for the PC-Link to attach too … especially the PC1616. DSC seems to place them in different spots of each model.
I used a Samsung netbook to program each system … only took 5 minutes for the longest one which had 10+ wireless door/window sensors … all those ESN’s to type in but much easier and error proof than doing it from a keypad.
I can’t wait to try the new Alexor system … that looks like a system you could install in secs.
Yea I use a Toshiba laptop to program my Napco panels and have always loved how fast and easy it is. I just saw an Alexor system put together at one of our supply houses and it looks really sharp, especially the nicer keyfobs. However I try to stay with hardwired equiptment as much as possible. Those calls at 3 in the morning from a customer saying that the keypads beeping and they want it fixed NOW is enough to keep me awake at night.
That’s what I like about the DSC TL250 … no real need to make a house call at 3am … just access the system over the internet … tell the customer what’s wrong and in most cases how to fix it or disable the sensor till your able to fix that morning without losing sleep over it :O)
here in america there is a siren in the house and sometimes one in the attic to here it outside
in australia, there is a high frequency internal siren which produces a sound that is intolerable to the human ear and is designed to repel an intruder from within your home. and there is an outdoor siren concealed in a white box with a blue strobe light, a very strong visual deterent
