Response SA1 Installation & Operating Manual page 2

FOREWORD
The SA1, SA2 and SAC1 Wirefree Alarm Systems comply
with the requirements of BS6799 Class 1 for Wireless
Alarms. All components are designed and manufactured
to provide a high standard of security protection and long,
reliable service. In addition, the radio devices are tested
and approved by the Radio Regulatory division of the
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to ensure that they
will not interfere with other radio equipment. No radio
licence is required, however, the approved radio
frequency is not protected from interference and may be
withdrawn from use at any time subject to the DTI giving
users an appropriate notice period.
These Alarm Systems are designed for ease of
installation using only conventional domestic tools.
However, it is essential that the installer reads and fully
understands the advice and procedures contained in
this manual and plans the system before proceeding
with the installation.
During installation, it is important that the procedures
described in this manual are followed in sequence.
Note: This manual covers the installation and
operation of a number of different kit configurations.
Instructions relating to components not included in
your kit should be ignored.
This manual should be retained in a safe place for
future reference.
IMPORTANT
All components, with the exception of the External
Solar Siren are suitable for mounting in dry interior
locations only.
Tools and Equipment Required:
No.0 Philips Screwdriver
No.1 Philips Screwdriver
No.2 Philips Screwdriver
5 & 6mm Masonry Drill Bits
LOCAL AUTHORITY REGULATIONS
Depending on your location in the country, you may be
required, by law, to notify the Local Authorities and
Police of your new alarm installation.
Local Authority requirements differ from area to area,
therefore, we recommend that you contact your Local
Borough Environmental Officer to obtain full details of
your area's requirements.

SYSTEM SECURITY
This system has been designed to both detect intruders
and act as a strong deterrent to would-be intruders.
Please remember that given adequate knowledge and
time it is possible to overcome any alarm system and we
therefore recommend that an Intruder Alarm is used in
conjunction with good physical protection such as
security window and door locks.
All units in the system are encoded to operate together
using an 8 bit House Code which is configured by the
user/installer to provide the system security code for
your installation. The system House Code can be
changed at any time by the user.
IMPORTANT: All units forming part of your alarm system
must be set to the same House Code.
The system is operated from one or more Remote Control
units and/or Keypads. Care should be taken to ensure that
your Remote Control Unit(s) are not lost or the Keypad
User Access code does not become known to other
people as this will compromise the security of your system.
In either event the system house code and/or User Access
code should be changed as soon as possible.
In order to detect any attempts to jam the radio channel
used for your alarm system, a special jamming detection
function is incorporated into the Solar Siren. If this feature
is enabled, and the radio channel is jammed continuously
for 30 seconds, (when the system is armed), the Solar
Siren will emit a series of rapid bleeps for 5 seconds as a
pre-alarm. If the jamming continues for a further 10
seconds or more a full alarm condition will occur.
SAFETY
Always follow the manufacturers advice when using power
tools; steps, ladders etc. and wear suitable protective
equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when drilling holes etc.
Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden electricity
cables and water pipes, the use of a cable/pipe locater
maybe advisable if in doubt.
When using ladders, ensure that they are positioned on
a firm stable surface at the correct angle and suitably
secured before use.
The use of ear defenders is advisable when working in
close proximity to the Siren due to the high sound level
produced by this device.
