Assemble and Test
08/23/2016 at 23:57 • 0 commentsPlace the alarm inside the box.
Close the lid and plug the power supply cord into the remote control switch receiver.
I used this remote control switch because I had found it to be durable and functional for a reasonable range (and through a wall or two):

Push the "on" button on the battery powered on/off switch. This will supply power to the call box and the LOUD alarm will start beeping within a few seconds.

Connect the Power Supply

Now, solder the wires to the alarm module (where the battery was intended to connect). Be certain that polarity is correct.

Alarm Always On
08/23/2016 at 23:49 • 0 commentsI needed to make the alarm "always on" so that it would sound (and continue to sound) on power up.
First, find the "test" switch."
Next, create a solder "bridge" across the switch terminals from the back side.

I had to get somewhat physical and mangle the thing to get it out of the case.
