Elk M1G, Announce intrusion location before siren

[powercool]

Greetings,
Is it possible to configure my M1G to announce the zone location of the intrusion (twice), before setting off the loud siren? I have connected two SP12F speakers to output 1 and installed behind both keypads. Currently, a siren noise is heard from both SP12F speakers when a zone is violated with the system armed. My intention is that the "keypads" would announce the zones violated then after a delay, output 2 would initiate a siren. I have recently installed the RP software. Thanks for any help.

Not that I know of, I believe it's how the system is designed.
 
You can configure custom announcements, so you'd have to verify in RP. I don't have it on this laptop.
 
I hope you have more than 2 SPF12's installed, otherwise that's an impedance issue for the driver on the M1 board.

According to the manual, you can use G27 to delay Out2 for up to 255 seconds.  That might be a starting point for you.

I think there's going to be a small issue, because OUT 1 is always going to have some sort of siren/alarm announcement unless the OP squelches it altogether, which I can't see as desirable, let alone announce all the zone(s) that may have generated the condition.
 
I might be missing what idea you're thinking of of splitting the output between OUT1 and OUT2.

I am not an expert on speakers etc. but why would two SPF12's be an impedance issue for the M1 board?  At 32 ohms each two speakers in parallel would result in 16 ohms - My understanding was that higher than 4 ohms was OK but lower than 4 ohms was not.  Can you please clarify why 16 ohms would be a problem for OUTPUT 1?  (Not to hijack but I have an M1TWA board that as a single SP12F hooked up to each of the 3 outputs on that board which means that there would be 32 ohms of resistance on each of those outputs).
