    Default External sirens on bosch 6000 panel

    Hi im doing a new install with a bosch soulution 6000/144 panel and an universal expander. And need to install three external box sirens. I was wanting to know if it is better to wire them as horns with panel siren driver or as 12volt sirens. (The sirens have both siren and horn connections on them. Thanks for your help

    two is the most horns I've ever put on a panel. If someone says they have actually done it OK then go ahead otherwise I'd be playing safe & using 12V piezo sirens via a relay.

    1) You can obtain a 'siren driver' for a horn which runs off a 12 volt output. A little hard to come by as most people now use those terrible 'all in one' strobe/siren combos.

    2) Three of them? I hope it's a MASSIVE property and not simply someone who thinks three is better than one. Frankly, if it's not monitored you could have fifty and all they'll do is aggravate neighbours.

    I've recently had a Bosch Solution 6000 installed with 5 PIR sensors. Everything went well until the programming.
    During a test the internal (screamer) worked, however the outside siren/horn only pulses once then stops. Further to this the outside siren didn't sound very loud. The wiring has been checked and is installed as illustrated in the Bosch wiring guide?
    Has anyone had this problem rand what would anyone recommend?

    Are you sure it's a horn speaker outside and not a bell/piezo type unit that has been incorrectly chosen?

    I had the same thing with the external siren not being very loud and Bosch Tech support said yes some are not so loud now. Nothing you can do. Great hey !!
