Wiring A Simple Fire Alarm Setup With 9 Volt Batteries

[@mrwonderful2142]

I modified a BG12 to release itself as soon as you let go of the pull lever so it immediately shuts itself off without the key. Makes a cool momentary button for a garage door opener or doorbell. Just make sure you use the right step down transformer for that application

[@nesman0001]

That's a cool mod! Personally, I like the STI stopper stations for that type of application. Multiple sets of NO & NC contacts, customizable, and typically a high power rating on the contacts.

Awesome video, I had some wires left over from a makey makay set, and I also have another demo system but with regular wires and a plug, I didn't want to waste money so this really helped!

[@nesman0001]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@nuclear0000]

Great video! Say I get a 21 volt alarm. Would I still just do 3 9 volts?

[@nesman0001]

I highly doubt you would come across a 21 volt alarm but if you do, 2, 9 volts should do the job just fine

Awesome vid!

Thank you!

My fire alarm went off when the wires touched the barriers even though there was a pull station wired. What do I do??

[@nesman0001]

Make sure the pull station wasn't already activated. What model were you using?

This Helped Me Thank You!

No problem, glad I can help!

I have a simplex 4903-9101 and i'm not sure how many to use. Also my dad told me daisy chaining batteries is unsafe. Any other ideas?

[@nesman0001]

Without a power supply(or control panel), connecting batteries like this is the easiest and most simple way. Considering they are 3, 9 volt batteries, the current output is very low. I would not call it unsafe however I would be careful. If your parents wish you do not connect batteries like that, please listen to them since after all, they are your parents. (3, 9 volts should do the trick for a 4903-9101 though)

[@nuclear0000]

Also what exact type copper wires do you use to hook up the alarm?

[@nesman0001]

I use stranded 18 AWG wire

[@Lucas-jm3ig]

Can you put the wire link so I can by it

[@nesman0001]

Would you like a link to the speaker wire or the colored coded leads with the clips on the ends of each wire?

Can someone help me so I have a adapter that has an output of 9v and I’m not using a pull station so I was wondering if i can use it on a simplex 4906 9130?

[@nesman0001]

The 9v adapter will not work, since when three nine volts are connected like they are in the video, it adds the voltage to 27 volts (9*3). Also, the simplex 4906-9130 is a smartsync device and would require a simplex smartsync module or panel. Hope that helps!

[@jasonvoorhees1415]

@@nesman0001 how about the 4903 9418 non addressable simplex truealert

[@nesman0001]

That one will also require a smartsync module.

[@jasonvoorhees1415]

So I have to connect the simplex truealert 4906 9130 with the simplex truealert 4903 9418?

[@nesman0001]

No, both of those alarms required 24volts DC and a separate module made by simplex that will get them to work properly.
