JA-163A RB Wireless outdoor battery-powered siren
The JA-163A RB is a component of the JABLOTRON 100+ system.
It is used for system alarm indication outside a building. It can also be used for
supplementary acoustic signalling (PG activation, arming, chirps). The siren
is powered by just one lithium battery with no other external power. The JA-163A
RB includes only the base with the JA-163A-BASE-RB PCB, the BAT-100A
(BAT-100A.01) lithium battery and always has to be completed with a cover from
the JA-1X1A-C-xx series (see following table). The siren occupies one position
in the system. The product should be installed by a trained technician with a valid
certificate issued by an authorized distributor.
For combinations of colour and cover material, see the following table:

Installation
The whole enrolment procedure has to be done in service mode
of the control panel. There must be a JA-11xR radio module installed
in the control panel.

reusable battery strap (up to 2 batteries can be used); 4 – PCB;
5 – spirit level; 6 – hole for installation with tamper detection; 7 – front cover
screw; 8 – string with clip connecting the front cover for easy installation
The siren should be installed on a vertical wall, with
the flasher facing downwards. Avoid installing
the siren near the gutters and on other places where
there is a danger of ice accumulation.
1.
Attach the siren onto a suitable place using 2 screws through
the holes (1) and (6). The spirit level can be used for easy installation (5).
2.
Connect the lithium battery (3) to the connector (11).
3.
Proceed according to the control panel installation manual.
Basic procedure:
a.
When the battery is connected, the yellow LED (12) indicates
by a permanent light that the siren has not been enrolled into
the system yet.
b.
Go
to
the
software,
F-Link
in the Devices tab and launch the enrolment mode by clicking
on the Enroll option.
c.
Press the button marked LEARN (10) – the siren is thus enrolled and
the yellow LED indicator goes off.
4.
Put back the siren cover and attach it using the screw (7).
5.
Perform siren properties setting, see the following chapter: Internal settings
of the siren.
Notes:
−
The siren can also be enrolled into the system by entering
its production code (9) in the F-Link software. You can find
the
production
code
on
All numbers under the bar code shall be entered (1400-00-0000-0001).

After connecting the battery, it is first de-passivated for about 1 minute.
During this time the yellow LED indicator is on, but it is not possible
to enroll the siren to the control panel.
−
The siren can be powered by up to two batteries and we recommend this
when longer siren operation time is required. There is a place prepared for
second battery use see Figure 1. Connect the battery to the other
connector (11). The battery connection order does not matter.

Erasing the siren from system / RESET
Use this procedure when the siren has to be erased from one system and
enrolled to another one. Proceed this way:
1.
The control panel has to be in Service mode.
2.
Open the siren cover and disconnect the battery from its connector.
3.
Go to the F-Link software, "Devices" tab, and erase the siren from
the control panel and leave service mode.
4.
Connect the battery. Then press and hold the LEARN button (10) for
approximately 8 sec until the yellow LED (12) starts flashing. Then
release the button.
5.
When flashing expires (2 x 7 flashes) the yellow LED illuminates. This
indicates that the siren is not enrolled.
Notes:
-
When a reset is done the yellow LED goes off and it means that there
is some control panel in the siren's radio range with an open service
mode and the enrollment procedure has been performed again and the
siren is assigned to that control panel.
1.
A FW update can be performed by the F-Link software in service mode,
but only by a user with Service authorisation.
2.
Start the F-Link software and enter service mode.
3.
Open the siren cover.
4.
Do not disconnect the battery!
5.
Connect a PC to the siren using a mini USB cable.
6.
FW update mode is indicated by the flickering of the yellow LED.
7.
Continue as with updating the control panel using F-Link software;
F-Link: Control panel → Update firmware. In the device options
select the USB option (typically at the first position).
8.
Press the OK button to perform an update of the selected device.
9.
Disconnect the mini USB cable.
10. Close the siren cover.
11. Check the siren settings via F-Link SW, Devices / Internal settings.
12. Test the siren functions.
Notes:
−
A mini USB cable is not in the supplied accessories of the siren, control
panel or any other device. You can use the cable from the JA-190T card
reader. We strongly recommend connecting the USB cable straight
to the PC connection as using a USB HUB can reduce the reliability.
−
According to the changes which have been done during the update,
previous settings might stay or settings could be erased to default. When
a reset has been done you can reload the previous settings by the Import
button and restore them with no negative influence on the new firmware.
Internal settings of the siren
The siren properties can be set in the Devices window of the F-Link software.
When
at
the

Reaction: defines whether the siren should indicate EW* (external warning) or
IW (internal warning). Alarm indication can also be disabled completely (other
functions remain enabled).
Siren sound: intermittent*, continuous. Option intermittent saves energy.
