I am away from my home for a couple of months but I think I can do this from memory. The white is negative. The red wire is positive and when connected the siren will give a steady tone. The yellow wire is also positive and when connected the siren will give a wailing tone. Connect the red or yellow to positve but not both at the same time. When I had a long run from the security panel the siren was not loud enough. I changed and had the security panel activate a 12 VDC relay connected to a 120 VAC transformer that put 12 VDC out to the siren over a short piece of wire, I was pleased with the loudness of the siren.

There is a "home" function, that will sound, without activating the external, optional, siren. The built in tone is not very loud, if you were sleeping a few rooms over, it would not wake you. This is why the external siren is a must have, it is quite a bit louder, but honestly, for forty bucks, it is not very impressive, decible wise. This unit is only effective to alert people in the house, as far as hearing anything outside the home, it is not loud enough to scare off an intruder. If I was to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

Sounds like you would pull over if you heard it behind you. The sound pulsates fairly rapidly like most other sirens. (Your question makes me think you would probably better off going to store where you can hear for yourself rather than buying online)

No it's not, it's a one way unit. It has to different ringers, one is like a door bell and the other is like a alarm.

No it sounds like like those old noise maker toys that you used to press the different buttons to get different sounds. Def does not sound like a real siren. I should know I use one 5 days a week!

I don't know. I bought this as a gift and have never actually seen it out of the box and put together. However, I would think if it had a siren they would say so in the description.

I didn't purchase the backup siren. It's really just if someone disables your initial siren

Adam, as long as non of the tones are activated, the siren switch can be turned on. If the siren tones are active, the battery my die after a while.

The panel does not have a siren however you do not have to use the siren you can have a silent alarm that will call your phone if programed aswell as the police if you program their number

It is just a siren. You can power it with 12V and put an on/off switch or contact to control it.

Just go in to the program menu, find sirens, and there you can set how long you want the siren to sound when activated. You can set it anywhere from 1 - 999 seconds
