darkness, only a small amount of energy is required to
operate the Solar Siren unit.
n lkaline 9V PP3 battery is supplied in the Solar
Siren to boost the initial power to the unit when the
system is first activated until the Solar Panel charges
the main battery.

Positioning the Solar Siren

The Solar Siren should be located in a prominent
position so that it can be easily seen and heard. The
Solar 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.
lthough the Solar Siren is designed to work on any
aspect wall, for optimum performance you should
refrain from siting the unit on a north facing wall,
where possible.
Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof
overhangs should also be avoided. If the Solar 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. 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 Solar Siren. It is therefore important to
mount the Solar Siren a minimum distance of 1m
away from any external or internal metalwork, (i.e.
drainpipes, gutters, radiators, mirrors etc).
