Galaxy G2-20 with an internal sounder??

[andymiller6891]

I have a galaxy g2-20 installed at home and would like to add an internal sounder.

I have opened the panel and it has a loudspeaker negative on the left side of the board.

where do I connect the positive terminal to??

Connect the positive to +12V as per the manual.

*NOTE: Output 1002 - This output is configured as a 16 Ohm speaker driver (AC signal). The speaker should be connected between this output and +12V. The speaker Entry/Exit volume is controlled by parameter 51.10.

I had it installed by an engineer so don't have any of the manuals, but didn't fancy repaying the hourly rate for a 10m run and a speaker.

Okay, no probs. Pretty easy to find via Google

Depending on the speaker, you may find it very loud with little adjustment on the volume control. I normally fit them with panel programming volume control set to 0. This way, they only sound when in full alarm and double beep when full set. I normally use the adjustable keypad volume pot to give exit entry tones.

There are panels that are DiY enough to give advice for, there are others that it's not. The Galaxy is in the latter.

There are too many options via Engineer access that can be so easily 'played with'.
It is human nature to see something and think 'what does this do?'

Hope he does not mess it up.

also if the OP opens the end staion before entering engineer mode he will cause a tamper fault, and if he does not have the engineer code his panel is now useless!!

as tamper activation is engineer reset only (default) on ALL galaxy panels.

good luck

yep we fit Galaxy, all the time!

Oh yea, forgot that one 'waterhole'

OP has already opened as stated in his post.

Andy, if you run into problems PM me. It's all pretty logical, but there are a few common gotchas with these panels.

 

[andymiller6891]

no I have all the codes and I know how to get in and out of engineering mode as I had to open the panel briefly before as the battery was late being delivered. so installed it a few days later, the installer used on of his own on the day but it was his spare so couldn't leave it.
