This forum has been invaluable to me so it is time to give a little back.
First thing first Disclaimer: this is diy and should be treated as such. I am not responsible for any damage as result of you using the following instructions. Test your equipment before fully relying on this as a fail safe.
If you purchased a Apex 2016 without the display you won't get audible alarms. Or if you do have the display and find that the sound is a bit anemic you can make your own buzzer with the parts below. This requires that you have and eb832, fmm, or 1link device with an available 24v accessory port.
Here is the buzzer https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here are the plugs https://m.ebay.com/itm/2-sets-molex-...08?_mwBanner=1
The black wire from the buzzer goes on top where the hook latch is and red on the bottom. Just to be safe check it before you stick crimps in to plug.
If you are not comfortable with crimping the wires you can buy the NS 24v bare wire cable. I do also recommend having a display. When the internet goes down and you need help with you apex the display becomes an invaluable tool with lots of info.
For the program I am using the following.
Virtual outlet
(Noise)
Fallback off
Set off
If output leak = on then on
Defer 000:10 then on
Real Outlet
(LinkA_2_9)
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/000:01/000:05 Then ON
If Output Noise = OFF Then OFF
I will the first to admit this code probably isn't the best way to do it, so make sure you test it before relying on it.
The buzzer is loud, it is like a smoke detector. The code above was designed so it buzzes for 1 second then off for 5 seconds. If you want an annoying constant tone don't use osc.
There are different buzzers out there that make different sounds. I have one that makes the police siren noise ramping up and down. Just be sure what ever you get it is capable of handling 24v. Otherwise you may damage the buzzer or worse your Apex.
