Most alarm switches are NC. (Some few are Form C.) I need the
gonger to clang once when the contact opens. If I use a standard
doorbell, it will start smoking after about the first 10-12
minutes pulled in. People will object.....

And yes, Mr. Delmarva -- I can design something. Designing is
FUN; it's the building that's often a PITA, not to mention
the debugging...But I'm lazy and busy, so I look for an easy
way first....
