GE Smartsecurity wireless - extra siren install?

[greenforest56]

I just bought a GE Smartsecurity wireless home alarm system. I
thought I would be able to hook up a couple of extra sirens, one
outdoors and one indoors. Unfortunately, now that I have it, it does
not appear that you can do this. Without the extra sirens all you
have is the pathetic little built siren in the control unit.
Anyone familiar with this system and have a fix for this? Or
does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Charlie

Ok, low voltage relay, I looked it up. What does this do in relation
to the control unit and external siren? Where would you locate it in
the communications chain: sensor --> control unit --> siren?

Thanks for the response.

I should clarify, I am not an alarm or electronic sophisticate but I'll
work hard to understand.

Thanks,

Charlie

How about this: place a sound activated relay near the siren on the
control unit. Pigtail the various sirens/strobes to the relay unit.
Thus, when the control unit siren goes off it will activate the relay
which will activate the external sirens/strobes.
Think this will work?

if the panel is compatible with x10 (looks like it is a Simon not sure what
version though) then you can possibly use an X10 Powerhorn/Remote Siren
Module
