15s the LEDs will stop flashing and remain
illuminated. All links will remain intact and

EXTERNAL SOLAR SIREN

The Siren is encapsulated within a tough
polycarbonate housing that also provides full
protection against adverse weather conditions.
An LED indicator unit is built into the Siren to act
as a visible deterrent and indication that the system
is active. The LEDs will slowly and alternately
flash whether the system is Armed or Disarmed.
When an alarm occurs the LEDs will flash
rapidly together.
An integral tamper switch provides additional
security protection to the Siren and will
immediately trigger an alarm should any
unauthorised attempt be made to interfere with
and remove the Siren cover.
The Siren is powered by a 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 Alkaline PP3 battery is supplied to boost
the initial power to the unit when the system is first
activated until the solar panel charges the main
battery. (This battery is only designed to last for a
short period until the main rechargeable battery
has obtained sufficient charge). It does not need
to be replaced.

POSITIONING THE SOLAR SIREN

The Siren should be located as high as possible in
a prominent position on an external wall 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.
In order to provide the maximum amount of daylight
to the solar panel, the Siren should ideally be
mounted on a south facing wall. However, an
easterly or westerly position will suffice, but mounting
the device on a north facing wall should be avoided
due to the short dark days of winter months.
Shadows cast by neighbouring 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 depth of
the eaves overhang below the eaves. Remember
that in winter the sun is lower in the sky and you
should avoid winter shadows where possible.
The Solar Siren contains a 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 1 metre
away from any external or internal metalwork,
(i.e. drainpipes, gutters, radiators, mirrors etc).
Be especially aware of radiators mounted on the
inside wall behind possible locations for the Siren.
Ensure that the position selected for the Siren is
within effective range of the Keypad and all detectors.
INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING
THE SOLAR SIREN
1.
Working on a table, undo the two battery cover
fixing screws and remove the battery cover.
2.
Under the cover you will also find a row of 5 DIP
Switches labelled SW3 and a "LEARN" button.
3.
Ensure that DIP switch 5 of SW3 on the main
board is set to OFF ("SIREN") for use with this
alarm system.
