Honeywell 1361-GT Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Connect a High Current Siren to a DSC PG9WLSHW8?
Using a third-party relay and a power supply, connect the relay to the bell circuit and the siren to the relay. Keep reading for details using Altronix relays.
How Do I Add a High Current Siren to a 2GIG Edge?
The 2GIG Edge has a bell output, providing 120 mA of current. If you need a higher current siren, you must add a relay and power supply. Read on to learn more.
How Do I Power My Tuxedo Keypad From an Auxiliary Power Supply On a VISTA TURBO Panel?
You must use an auxiliary power supply with a Tuxedo Touch if the keypad pushes the panel over its power limits. Learn how to add a Tuxedo to a VISTA TURBO using a power supply.
Can I Replace a 1321 Transformer w/ a 1361 Transformer?
The Honeywell 1361 supports more current than the Honeywell 1321, and it can be used in place of a 1321. But you shouldn't swap a 1361 for a 1321. Learn about these transformers.
How Do I Add a Wired Siren to a Honeywell Lyric Alarm System?
For users who need a louder siren for a Lyric Panel, a wired siren is a possible option. But you will need several components! Find out how to add a wired siren to a Lyric System.
Can I Change the Honeywell VISTA 21iP’s PROM Chip?
Honeywell offers the V21iPUPG, which allows an older VISTA 21iP to use Total Connect 2.0 if an external communicator is added. Find out if you can change the VISTA 21iP PROM Chip.
How Do I Add a Siren to the Lyric Controller Using a MIMOlite?
A high current siren can be added to the Lyric System by using a power supply, a programmable output and a siren. Learn to attach a high current siren to a Lyric Alarm Panel.
What Kind of Transformer Does My Honeywell System Use?
Each Honeywell system requires a specific transformer to operate properly. New systems come with an appropriate transformer, but in some cases, a replacement may be required. There are also instances where it's appropriate to replace the original with a different one. Read on to learn more.Each Honeywell system requires a specific transformer to operate properly.

Where are the Transformers for Honeywell/ADEMCO Security Systems Typically Installed?
A transformer for a Honeywell/ADEMCO system is plugged into a wall outlet. These devices are usually in an outlet nearby the system for convenience purposes. However, some installers may place them in a hidden area, such as an attic. Learn more about where these transformers are plugged in.
What Kind of Wire Should I Use to Power My Honeywell Home Security Panel?
Most installations for a Honeywel alarm system involve using 18-gauge 2-conductor wire. The wire will run from a plug-in transformer to the panel itself. An excellent wire to use for this type of application is the Honeywell LT-Cable. Learn more about wiring a Honeywell control panel.
