Conenct Ajax-Kidde heat/fire detector to Visonic MCT-302
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:07 pm
Hi,
I read the following post on this forum http://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?t=3053. It gave me the idea to connect my firealerters to the Visonic. Therefore I would like to know if I could attach an Ajax Fire alerter to a Door/Window contact MCT-302? Connecting these to the Visonic is new for me so I need help.
To get an impression of the alerter to be connected look at warmteservice.nl/product/75259205/brand ... back-up.do. The Ajax-Kidde heat/fire detector has a red led light which goes on in case of fire (and the siren going on). Could I connect this in any way to the MCT-302 EOL connection? Should I use the 47 kOhm resistor? If it is possible I could post some pictures of the internal Ajax-Kidde heat/fire detector. I am not afraid to use the soldier Iron I just don't know what is needed to make a connection. Which materials do I have to buy? How do I find out?
Possibly I have a easier route. There is optional item available to make external connections out of the box its the MKR23, see homecare-huisautomatisering.nl/zen-cart ... ts_id=2171. On top I could fit the fire alerter. The manual is here kiddefyrnetics.co.uk/utcfs/ws-405/Asset ... MK23RU.pdf. This PDF file says it can be used with Firex Alarms. It gives a Normally closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) inputs. Could I make an easy connection to the MCT302 if I buy this item? I think this should work but I'm affraid buying something which will never work. How should I connect this?
I appreciate any help, tips or hints.
