weather conditions.
specially treated to ensure long, reliable, trouble free

rmed or Disarmed. When
Choosing a Location for the
Solar Siren
The Siren & Strobe unit should be fitted to the outside
of the building in a position that is clearly visible and at
a height which is relatively inaccessible to an intruder.
lthough the Siren & Strobe is designed to work on
any aspect wall, you should refrain from fixing the
unit on a North facing wall where possible.
Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof
overhangs should also be avoided. In practice, the
Siren & Strobe should be positioned a minimum of
twice the width 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 Siren & Strobe 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 & Strobe. It is therefore
important to mount the Siren & Strobe a minimum
distance of 1 metre radius away from any external
or internal metalwork, ie external drainpipes, gutters
and internal radiators, mirrors etc.
Installing the Solar Siren
Remove the holding screw from the base of the housing
and carefully hinge off the front cover.
components are housed within the front cover.
Use the rear back-plate as a template to mark the
position of the four fixing holes on the external wall.
Drill four 6mm holes and insert the plastic wall plugs.
Mount the back-plate using the four screws provided.
