I installed a siren on my Elk today planning to have it chirp when I arm the system using the keyfob. It's installed in the detached garage and switched by one of the outputs on an M1XOVR because the M1 panel is in a separate building. In order to to test the wiring I added a new task and then wrote a rule to turn the output on when the task is executed. Now this all works fine but I was disappointed to see that the shortest time that I can turn the output on for is one second which is a lot more than a chirp.
So next I looked at the install manual and learned that the M1 has a rule that will "chirp" what they call the outside siren. I'm guessing that they mean out2 when they refer to "outside siren".
So my questions -
does outside siren mean out2?
does anyone have an idea on how to get a short burst of current to the siren using just the OVR and a 12 volt power source? Maybe a device that emits a chirp rather than a continuous sound?
or maybe it can be done through rules?
Any thoughts? Mike.
