Can multiple Wave-2 sirens be connected to a Vista 20p? If so, how are they wired (serial or parallel)?

I don't think they can be. I tried both ways and neither worked. I only have 1 of the 2 horns wired on my system. I couldn't get both to work I think they pull too many amps for the little system. If you do find a way please let me know

Very good question. I bought only one. It works pretty fine. Please let me know how to work with two station in case you find out.

Yes, you will need a DC power supply with an output rated within the voltage and wattage range of the siren, a switch and the wire to span the distance from siren, switch, and power supply. Note: the siren has 3 wire leads, usually white, red and yellow. White is common or negitive, and red and yellow are positive but only one is connected at a time. One is solid tone and the other is yelping tone.

It would have to be on the same signal or wave range for them to connect. They are precoded to match and sold in sets. So unless you buy one that is on the same signal or wave range, it still would be iffy in my mind but it's possible it could work. I would test it first if possible or email 1Byone with this inquire for a answer, they will know for sure.

Only hard-wired sirens work. X10 wireless support is listed in some places, but an X10-capable transformer was never produced for this model.

Hi Trice. You will need to get two units. One to transmit and one to receive the signal. Keep in mind, after you have these, if you add additional flash units, you can switch one into slave mode and trigger it from the flash of the 580exll which is connected to the PW. This way, you won't have to buy additional PW's unless you want to get into zones etc... Hope this helps. BreAna

I don't think that can be answered. The specs don't include the frequency. I assume all would be the same, so no, you couldn't run two together. I'd suggest getting one of these and one of something else, but they might still be on the same frequency. Sorry, but I don't think anyone but the seller could help.

Yes, I've paired my ZCOMBO smoke/CO detector. It only sends events (Test, Smoke, CO); you can't trigger the siren remotely.

It works with 2GIG Alarm panels, which at one time Vivant was using so shouldn't be an issue assuming you have the installer code to add zwave devices.

I tried the outdoor siren, but could not get it to work. Mace has very poor customer support, I say this because it takes about a week to get a response and the person responding was unable to resolve my problem. I returned the siren for a refund. I'm still not sure if I should try another wireless siren. I'm a retired technician so was able to determine that the wired siren output worked, which means the problem is probably software incompatibility between the main control unit and the siren. In which case it's a bad sign that Mace technical support couldn't provide a solution.

As long as you have the two terminals dedicated for fire/smoke alarms it should work fine. Installed a dozen of these with a Vista 50p and they worked perfectly.

Most alram systems have a 12volt DC output for the siren or in your case the horns. Send that postive voltage wire to the plus terminal and the negative terminal gets connected to ground.ED

I have half an answer... and a corresponding concern. I own two W3 senders and four W3 receivers. I can have both senders connected to 2 completely different audio sources and each of the correct 2 receivers are able to connect and receive as they are supposed to do. There is no cross talk, no interference an every receiver seems to remain oblivious to signal from the "other" (non-paired?) receiver. So in that sense, quad would be supported... each pair of channels would be independent of the other pair. Now for the concern... My example does not require any synchronization. Sender "A" might be a time slot or two away from sender "B". I do not know if this difference would be perceptible as I have not tested. (I suspect it would not be even slightly perceptible but in a time slotted transmission I am pretty sure they could not sync to be absolutely identical) Either someone who has tried 4-channel or someone at AudioEngine is probably going to have to address this concern. But at least I hope I have brought your attention to the specific concern you should have! Will be interested to see other responses. bob

Do some googling on "Virtual Audio Cable" I know there is a way to set VAC as your default device, and then have that application route audio to multiple other outputs. It can cause slight delays in the audio though... :| Blame Microsoft for not implementing simultaneous multiple audio output channels?

This one splits one single channel to two, works fine for mono aural signals and "convert" them to "pseudo" stereo, hope this helps

That depends on what kind of siren you are talking about. Are you looking for additional sirens inside your house or a siren outise your house? I have two 104db Bulldog sirens hookup to this paanel without an issue. I believe if you want to run a siren outside your home that would require more power and you would need to wire up a relay and power transformer to power the sire. The panel would trip the relay and the transformer would then power the siren. If you can let me know what you are looking to do with the panel then I can give you some better direction on what it can and can not do. That depends on what kind of siren you are talking about.

Yes. I removed siren connected to panel and added wireless at different location so I could hide panel. I use the remotes to arm and disarm so no need for panel to be in sight.
