Hi all,
I'm currently setting up a house alarm system. I have an external bellbox that requires 12 volts DC to "trigger" it's speaker. However, my alarm control panel outputs 8.5 volts as it's trigger output.
I have attempted to use a 12v relay, but the 8.5v is not enough to trigger it. Looking online, it seems that 12v relays require 9-15 volts. Alternatively, a 6v relay requires 4.8-7.2 volts.
I couldn't find any information on a relay that could be switched at 8.5 volts.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks very much,
Shockuk.
