SECOR WP08 Top Hat Piezo Screamer White Low Current High Output‍‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‍

Product SKU: WP08

Product Overview

The SECOR WP08 Top Hat Piezo Screamer White Low Current High Output is a compact internal alarm sounder designed for compatible hardwired intrusion alarm systems. Its top hat style surface-mount design makes it suitable for ceiling, wall or sheltered internal mounting where a sharp piezo alarm tone is required without using a larger external siren box. The WP08 is suited to homes, shops, offices, garages, utility rooms, staff areas, stockrooms and light commercial spaces where an internal screamer is required to complement the main alarm system. With 12VDC operation, 105dB sound output at 1m and 90mA current draw, it is a practical choice for installers needing a low-current internal piezo screamer for compatible alarm panel outputs.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Home Alarm Systems: Suitable for internal alarm warning in hallways, garages, utility rooms and living areas.
• Small Business Security: A practical option for shops, offices, clinics, salons and light commercial premises using compatible alarm panels.
• Secondary Internal Sounding: Useful alongside an external siren/strobe where extra internal sound output is required.
• Surface-Mount Installations: Ideal where a compact top hat screamer is preferred over a recessed flush mount sounder.
• Low-Current Alarm Outputs: Suitable for installations where compact internal alarm sound is required with modest current draw.

Why Choose the WP08

Choose the SECOR WP08 when the alarm installation needs a compact internal piezo screamer with a simple top hat surface-mount design and low current draw. Its 105dB output provides a strong high-frequency internal alarm tone, while the 90mA current draw makes it suitable for many compatible hardwired alarm panel outputs. Compared with a flush mount piezo such as the WP05, the WP08 is better suited to surface-mount locations where a recessed ceiling cut-out is not required. This model, supplied by Security Wholesalers, is a practical choice for compatible hardwired alarm systems where reliable internal alarm sound, easy placement and clean white appearance are important.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: You need a compact white top hat piezo screamer with 12VDC operation, 105dB output and 90mA current draw.
• Choose WP05 if: You need a flush mount internal piezo screamer instead of a top hat surface-mount style.
• Choose WP10 or WP08VA if: You need a chime function or volume controllable top hat variant rather than a standard WP08 screamer.
• Choose an external siren/strobe if: The installation requires outdoor warning, visual alarm indication, weatherproof housing or tamper monitoring.
• Check before installation: Confirm panel output capacity, voltage, current draw, cable route and indoor mounting position.

FAQs

1. What is the SECOR WP08 used for?
   The SECOR WP08 is used as a top hat internal piezo screamer for compatible hardwired alarm systems. It provides a sharp internal alarm tone for homes, shops, offices, garages, staff areas and other protected spaces where a compact surface-mounted sounder is required.
2. Is the WP08 suitable for outdoor installation?
   No. The WP08 is intended as an internal or protected top hat piezo sounder. If the installation requires outdoor alarm warning, visual strobe indication, weatherproof housing or tamper monitoring, choose a suitable external combo siren/strobe model instead.
3. How loud is the WP08?
   The WP08 is rated at 105dB at 1m. Actual perceived loudness depends on room size, mounting position, ceiling or wall material, doors, walls and background noise. It is designed to provide strong internal alarm sound rather than external area coverage.
4. What voltage does the WP08 require?
   The WP08 operates from 12VDC and is suited to compatible hardwired alarm systems. The installer should confirm the alarm panel or auxiliary sounder output is suitable before connecting the device, especially if multiple internal sounders are being used.
5. Does the WP08 have a strobe?
   No. The WP08 is a standard top hat piezo screamer and does not include a strobe. If visual alarm indication is required, select a compatible combo siren/strobe or separate strobe device according to the alarm panel’s output capacity and wiring design.
6. What is the difference between WP08 and WP05?
   The WP08 is a top hat style surface-mount piezo screamer, while the WP05 is a flush mount piezo screamer. Choose WP08 when a simple surface-mounted internal sounder is preferred, and choose WP05 when a recessed ceiling-style installation is more suitable.
7. Is the WP08 low current?
   Yes. The WP08 draws 90mA, making it a low-current internal alarm sounder option for many compatible 12VDC alarm systems. The final load should still be checked against the alarm panel output, particularly when several sounders are connected together.
8. What should I check before buying the WP08?
   Before buying the WP08, confirm that your alarm system supports a compatible 12VDC sounder output, that the 90mA current draw is suitable, and that the mounting location is internal or protected. This model is available through Security Wholesalers for compatible hardwired alarm installations needing a compact white top hat screamer.
