onboArd tAmpEr
the onboard tamper switch is supplied with
a through-body spring mechanism for tamper
detection of cover removal and back housing
tamper.
lEd opErAtion
the LeD is visible on the front of the radio
siren externally and internally when the cover
is removed.

* rss satellite model only
plug pAcK
the plug pack supplied must always be plugged
into a mains power outlet.
the rsI siren is solely powered by the plug
pack.
the rss satellite uses mains power for normal
operation and to float charge the backup
battery.
onboArd sirEn
the onboard siren can output either an alarm
sound or Fire sound depending on the type of
signal it receives from the transmitting device.
ExtErnAl AntEnnA
the radio siren has an internal antenna which
should provide excellent radio range in most
cases.
an external antenna is also supplied and can be
fitted in cases where local radio conditions may be
reducing or interfering with the radio signal.
Please note that if the rF conditions are particularly
adverse, the external antenna may not improve
reception.
outputs
(rss satellite model only)
Siren
: the external siren output can drive
2 x 8 ohm horn speakers. the siren sound can
be either the alarm siren or Fire siren depending
on the type of signal received. the siren timer is
fixed at 5 minutes.
Strobe
: the external strobe output can drive
1 x standard mini strobe light.
the strobe output turns on when a strobe on
message is received and turns off when it receives
a strobe off message or after maximum run time.
the strobe will also turn on when the siren turns on
even without a strobe on message, but in this case
the strobe turns off with the siren. Maximum run
time is 11 hours or 1 hour if mains power is off.
Note: In Strobe Mode, the strobe output is designed
to drive a strobe light only. However the output can be
configured as a Reset output if needed, see below.
reSet MoDe
: to convert the strobe output into
a reset output, connect a 2k2 eoL resistor on the
Z1 input (across Z1 & 0V).
the strobe output will now reset after 5 minutes,
and the output voltage will be suitable to drive a
device such as a piezo screamer.
this option is useful in cases where you need
an additional wired internal screamer or even
a screamer/strobe combination on the same
output.
bAttEry
(rss satellite model only)
If mains power is off, the battery can power the
siren and strobe for one alarm activation.
the battery is tested under load every hour. Low
battery condition is indicated by the LeD flashing
continuously.
Note that when mains is restored after a power
failure, the LeD will continue to flash for several
hours until the battery reaches full charge.
inputs
(rss satellite model only)
external taMper
: the 24hr tamper input
terminals are provided for connection of an
external tamper if using the external siren option.
the tamper input must be terminated with a 2k2
end of Line resistor even if unused.
Zone
: the Zone input should normally be left
unconnected unless you need require the strobe
output to operate in reset mode, (see reset
MoDe).
