@mytec12345 I still don't know.

@mytec12345 I...don't know...

How do I wire my BG 12 to a Gentex Commander 3?

[102Help]

great now how do i wire up a BG-12 to a wheelock 7002T?

[carcrashes79]

Its X AKater114

[slapshot759]

Where did those wires come from? the ones stemming from the pull?

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Radio schack

[ilikefirealarms]

I have just the horn. How would I wire it?

[eddieeddieeddie13]

The wires leading up to the alarm, just connect them to the horn and you don't have to do the horn to strobe or vise versa wiring.

[starlite528]

Essentially, the strobe terminals connect directly to the wires that lead into the strobe, which has its own circuitry. The siren and the strobe are two separate circuits.

BTW; 9-volt batteries are fun. I strung up 50 of them like that and got a wire and made a spark an inch or two long (use with caution! ;) )

Also, Aphex Twin FTW!

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Wire only one set of terminals.

[mallmaven60]

That Should help me wire my BG-12 up to my Spectralert

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Yeah.

[mallmaven]

How can i wire that combination to a fire alarm panel?

[soccerdude7330]

That wire just kept falling out :)

And if you took one battery off it wouldn't be so loud.

My MT runs off of a 9V battery for now, until it goes in my office with my Simplex strobe retrofit. Then it will run off of my 24VDC transformer.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

I want one of those transformer things.

[soccerdude7330]

Well, the batteries are better, i found out. I hooked the transformer to my MT and it was scratchy sounding! Hooked it back to the 9V and it was fine. Odd...

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Yeah, that is.

[starlite528]

Is the transformer output AC or DC? if it's DC and scratchy, it's probably unfiltered.

[starlite528]

Jeez I should read before posting, you already said it's DC :P

[computerchris78590]

dude lol i understand i hate it when the wires dont go back in they fall out lol. and i have my edwards bell that my old school gave me when it was demolished runnig at 18 volts and yeah its LOUD!

[eddieeddieeddie13]

My MT. I got it cause it fell on my head when I was in In School Suspension.

[computerchris78590]

LOL, they gave u a fire alarm even though you were in, in school suspension? LUCKY, u get into trouble and end up getting a present SWEET! lol.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

No, it fell om my head and I went to the nurses office cause I was gushing blood and the Sped teacher was like, "Do you need anything?" and I asked if I could keep the alarm and they let me cause it was loud as hell in there anyway and they didn't need it.

[soccerdude7330]

LOL really? thats cool!

[eddieeddieeddie13]

It was.......painful.

[soccerdude7330]

do you havea pic of the alarm jw

[eddieeddieeddie13]

What do you mean?

[computerchris785]

Dude, you should NOT connect the batteries directkly like that or it could explode and harm you with battery acid. You should connect the batteires in series with wire. Send me a message for me details if you need it:)

[eddieeddieeddie13]

w/e

[mysterykid200]

I have mine like that but a lower voltage.. Theres no way 9volt batterys could explode but under intence heat..

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Once, I connected two of them. They got so hot.

[mysterykid200]

Thats if you connected end to end of 2 batterys that shorts them out.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Yeah.

[Xsk8r114]

thanks so much

[eddieeddieeddie13]

No problem.

[mysterykid200]

looks like way to many batterys 9 x 4 is like way over 31 volts

[eddieeddieeddie13]

w/e

[cyberlight22]

YES IT'S 36 VOLTS

[mysterykid200]

wtf you are lucky you don't fry that mt.. otherwise ur using half dead batterys

[eddieeddieeddie13]

It takes 24 volts for the horn and 24 volts for the strobe. So, I'm using 3/4 of what I really should.

[mysterykid200]

i dont see individual wiring there,I see that your applying 36 volts to both the horn and the strobe at the same time there is no difference.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

OK.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Oh.

[soccerdude7330]

The maximum for the MT is 31VDC. You should take one battery off, because if you leave the alarm on for a while you may blow your MT. You will end up with 28V but it will work just as well, and you will feel safe that it won't blow.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

"Blowing your MT" rofl

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Yeah.
