Challenger Smart Force ASFSB Instructions Manual

ASFSB Solar-powered Wirefree Siren &
Strobe
The Siren is housed within a tough polycarbonate housing.
provides full protection against adverse weather conditions.
A LED/Strobe unit is built into the siren to act as a visible deterrent/indication that
the system is active. The Strobe LEDs will slowly and alternately flash whether
the system is armed or disarmed. However, during an alarm condition the Strobe
LEDs will flash rapidly.
The Siren is powered by a high capacity rechargeable sealed lead acid battery.
A Solar Panel mounted on the top of the housing charges the battery during
daylight hours. During darkness, only a small amount of energy is required to
operate the Siren unit. A 9V PP3 Alkaline battery is supplied in the Siren to boost
the initial power to the unit when the system is first activated until the Solar Panel
charges the main battery.
An integral anti-tamper switch provides additional security protection to the Siren
and will immediately generate a full alarm should any unauthorized attempt be
made to interfere with and remove the siren cover.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The bell box in the kit has already been learnt to the
Gateway Hub. For replacement and additional Solar bell boxes this will need to
be learnt to the Gateway Hub. Please learn the bell box before installation.
POSITIONING THE SIREN & STROBE
Please ensure the Siren is within signal range of the Gateway Hub prior to
mounting. The Siren should be located as high as possible in a prominent
position so that it can be easily seen and heard. The Siren should be mounted
on a sound flat surface so that the rear tamper switch is not activated when
mounted. Ensure that the tamper switch does not fall into the recess between
brick courses as this could prevent the switch from closing and give a permanent
tamper signal.
To provide the optimum amount of daylight to the Solar Panel, you should ideally
mount the Siren on a south facing wall. However, an easterly or westerly position
will suffice.
Although the Siren is designed to work on any aspect wall, for optimum
performance you should refrain from sitting the unit on a north facing wall where
possible.

Shadows cast by neighboring walls, trees and roof overhangs should also be
avoided. If the Siren is to be mounted below the eaves, it should be positioned a
distance of at least twice the width of the eaves overhang below the eaves.
Remembers that in winter the sun is lower in the sky and you should avoid winter
shadows where possible.
The Siren & Strobe contains sophisticated radio receiver. However, reception of
radio signals can be affected by the presence of metallic objects within the vicinity
of the Siren. It is therefore important to mount the Siren a minimum distance of
1m away from any external or internal metalwork, (i.e. drainpipes, gutters,
radiators, mirrors etc) NOT TO be fitted to metal clad walls.
