    1km, ensuring alerts are less likely to be missed. The Orion is mains powered. It also has a back up battery so will still be able to transmit in the event of a power cut or mains failure. When fully charged, the battery should provide up to 12 hours power, depending on usage.
  • Page 4: Installation

    For best operation, and to make the most of the transmit and receive diversity, the two aerials should have different polarisation (set at 90 degrees). Ideally the Orion should be inserted into an unused socket, and located in a discreet position away from possible interference.
  • Page 5: Turning On/Off

    Turning Off Press the switch with a suitable instrument and hold for approximately 5 seconds until the LEDs stop flashing. The Orion will not switch off if there is a reception/transmission event occurring at that time. Smart Technology,...
  • Page 6: Programming The Modes/Options

    When finished tapping the switch, the Orion will restart once the ten second programming period expires. ● When the Orion powers up, the blue LEDs will flash to confirm the mode number, followed by the yellow LEDs to confirm the repeater number. The sounder may also beep if it is enabled.
  • Page 7: Modes/Options

    Orion Modes / Options The Orion has four Modes, two Sound Options and three Repeater Options. Mode 1. Repeats twice (Used with Notifier only). (Default) Mode 2. Repeats once (Used with Notifier only). Mode 3. Repeats twice - Incremental (Used with Notifier and dispersed unit).
  • Page 8: Repeating

    Orion Repeating By default, the Orion will repeat an incoming signal twice (Channel 1 after two ● seconds and Channel 2 after four seconds). If option 8 is chosen, the timings will change to five and ten seconds. ● ●...
  • Page 9: Using Multiple Orions Together

    If two Orions are to be used in the same installation, one should be set to ● Repeater 1 and the other to Repeater 2. If a third Orion is required, that should be set to Repeater 3. ● ●...
  • Page 10: General And Operational Behaviour

    If the Orion is operating on battery power, the green LEDs will flash quickly. Operational Behaviour When the Orion receives a signal from a sensor, the yellow LEDs on channels 1 & 2 will illuminate briefly, then the blue LED(s) will illuminate briefly at timed intervals, which vary depending on the repeater number.
  • Page 11: Mains Fail Alert

    Orion Mains Fail Alert Ten seconds after a loss of mains power, the Orion will sound and send a radio ● signal. This radio signal can be assigned to a Notifier or dispersed unit if desired, to inform a carer or monitoring centre that the Orion has lost mains power.
