Try placing a 1,000 ohm resistor in parallel to the siren. DSC supervises the bell output.

how to connect DCS siren with DSC control panel? When I connect on Bell+/- keypad signal a trouble with siren
Did you test the siren to see if it still works?
Jim Rojas
then siren go to alarm
Zzzzzt!
test it with a 9v radio battery...that won't ruin a speaker...a 12v 7amp will though!

Do you have a siren or a speaker? Makes a big difference. Test the siren on your battery if it is one. If it is a speaker don't test it on the battery.

You COULD do that however now you are limiting yourself to available aux power which is only 550 mA compared to 700mA from the Siren output.
You take the 1K and put it across the siren terminals which would then connect to the siren output on the board not aux power
problem solved panel: Bell +/- resistor 1k siren: gnd-gnd
+N - +12Vfrom panel A - PGM1 (panel) and program pgm1 like alarm outputJoin the Discussion
