Review on Honeywell SENSORS WAVE2PD Indoor Siren with Dual Tone and PIEZO DYNA by Eliot Wahl

**Just a quick note before I start rating this product. This is not a Z-Wave siren, and Honeywell makes no claims that it is. ** You will need some parts to use this siren with your security system. • Honeywell Wave2PD siren • Replacement thermostat cable ((18 gauge/4 wires) • Precision flathead screwdriver. Check your central station monitoring account (1 hour recommended). o When installing the siren, use masking tape or aluminum tape to attach the siren to the central air ducts to put your surveillance in test mode so that the police do not come to you when you turn off the power to the panel, as well as during the test of the siren before turning it on For my wiring, despite the da the colors White and black are common colors for hot and neutral I chose yellow and red as the ringer and ground contacts are used on the siren and alarm panel respectively Yellow for the security system and red for an emergency I was confused at first by wire connections on the siren electrical contacts as there are three contact points but only two wires on the panel wiring ge shows are signaling, and the only video on YouTube shows that it works, but not connected to a similar Wave2 (not PD). Upon closer inspection with my LED flashlight, I finally found that the #1 and #2 electrical contacts were identified by the raised plastic as the steady and trill modes, respectively. Labeling on the inner front flap of the siren housing. So I connected the siren's "#2" pin to the Vista21IP's "Bell" pin and connected the siren's power supply to the Vista21IP's "Ground" pin. He booted all the way up, armed the system, opened the front door and let the 30-second delay expire. As expected the living room siren could be heard coming out of the vents but as expected the decibel levels were a bit low but I only connected one siren for the whole house. I disabled the alarm and system and went downstairs to check on the dogs closest to the siren and while they were shaking they soon recovered and calmed down. After the test was complete, my monitoring service withdrew my account from the test and completed the installation of the first siren, using 3 strips of aluminum tape to securely attach the siren to my central air supply system. This is because the air duct acts as an echo chamber, focusing the siren output in a controlled path rather than omnidirectional, allowing the sound to be heard at a greater distance.
