Hello all,

My first post, sorry If I miss some details.

Already spend some weeks, reading and checking online content, forums and videos, with no luck. I've made some many wiring attempts that I'm run out of new ideas on how to make this Alarm system to work properly.

Before the final alarm installation, I decided to start with the alarm wiring test and configuration. I'm using Paradox SP4000 alarm system, the Paradox Keypad K32LCD, the Sensor Paradox NV5 and finally the Siren Vega Plus.

I've already made the keypad and sensor wiring, Zone 1 is programmed and seems to be working, since the sensor activates on a walk --> light turn on --> and the keypad show Zone 1 active.

Zone 1 [001] configuration is: [08] --> Instant & [123****8] --> for zone options.

Thought that after connecting the Siren, it would be an easy and last step. So I started with some some wiring attempts, since they start to fail one after the other.

All of the attempts fail to trigger the Siren Beep or a change on the Light Strobe. Although the sensor light activates and Zone 1 shows active in the Keypad LCD, the Siren fails to trigger.

This is the link where you can see the devices and the wiring I done for the sensor and keypad. On the left the Vega Plus Siren board.

Appreciate If anyone can point on how can I wire the siren.

Thank you in advance.

You have wired the bell output to the siren trigger and strobe?

Yes. I suppose you mean like this: https://postimg.cc/Wq3tqc6B

So from Siren Strobe and Trigger (-) to Paradox SP4000 Bell (-)

& Siren Supply (+ -) to Paradox SP4000 Aux (+ - )

Hi from the panel bell plus and minus go to siren strobe and trigger plus and minus normally, supply is normally just a led light, not a common siren, change the jumpers to get diff sounds etc let me know if it works or well try wire it differently

Hey,

I try it, so what I did was:

Strobe and Trigger (-) to Bell (-)

Strobe and Trigger (+) to Bell (+)

Supply (+) to Aux (+)

and then different variations:

Supply (-) to Aux (-)

Supply (+) to Bell (+)

The problem persists. I also have different Light Strobe or Sound results if I put or remove a resistor between Bell (+) and Bell (-).

The resistor should not have any effect on it, try supply plus and minus from aux plus and minus and strobe and trigger to bell minus, see if that works

Try the above, also no luck.

After a lot of trials I gave up, I will ask an alarm tech guy to go there on Saturday to make the wiring, I will let you know about the result :D

For reference, the alarm Technician wire the following way:

Trigger (-) and Strobe (-) to PGM 1

Supply (+) (-) to Aux (+) (-)

Then there is a way to turn the system on:

Turn Siren with current from Aux --> turn off --> Connect Battery (siren will trigger) and finally connect Aux again.
