Please note, it cannot be guaranteed that the battery is fully charged on installation. When commissioning, the unit may require to
be powered from the control panel for a period of time before the battery is sufficiently charged for self-activation.
Servicing
CAUTION:
BEFORE OPENING THE COVER ALLOW AT
LEAST 3 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST STROBE FLASH
Most control panels have a method of testing the siren and strobe, which should be utilised. Failing this, simply arm the system and cause an
alarm to confirm correct operation. Temporarily disconnect the positive supply to the unit at the control panel to confirm that the sounder self-
activates.
The strobe does not self-activate.
Some control panels have an option to select the sounder cut-off time. The unit will sound for either 15 minutes or for the
panel cut-off time, whichever is the shorter.
For safety reasons if it is necessary to inspect the unit, the Self-Activate (S/A) function should be disabled before the cover is opened or remote
power removed. This is achieved by using the
unit’s unique patented engineer Hold-Off mode. This is invoked either by activating and de-
activating the strobe three times within 30 seconds, or by pressing the
key when in the bell test menu. Most control panels have a method of
testing the strobe, which should be utilised. Failing this the strobe can be manually activated by connecting the S (STRB) wire to 0V at the control
panel. Hold-Off mode is shown to be active with the tamper circuit secure by the right LED only flashing.
If the tamper circuit is not opened or remote power not removed, then Hold-Off mode will automatically start to cancel after 15 minutes, indicated
by the LEDs alternating rapidly to signal that S/A on tamper and remote power loss will be re-enabled within a further 2 minutes.
Once the outer cover is removed the left LED only will flash to indicate that the tamper circuit is open. If remote power is removed, and the tamper
circuit is left closed, the right LED with flash rapidly to indicate that the unit is on standby battery power.
When the tamper circuit is closed or remote power re-applied, the LEDs will alternate rapidly, confirming that the tamper circuit is secure, remote
power is present and signalling that the self activating S/A function will be re-enabled within 2 minutes, after which the LEDs will alternate slowly to
signal normal operation. If the tamper circuit is re-opened or remote power removed within the 2 minute period, then Hold-Off mode will be
restored.
Summary of LED States Wired Units
If Hold-Off mode is invoked but the tamper circuit is not
opened or remote power is not removed within 15
minutes then Hold-Off will automatically start to cancel,
indicated by the LEDs alternating rapidly for a further 2
minutes.
For safety reasons the strobe is disabled during Hold-
Off mode.
Hold-Off mode is immediately cancelled when the sounder is
activated from the control panel unless the system is powered
down.

Safety
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE BY
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
All strobes produce hazardous voltages. However, the unit includes dual circuit safety interlocks. When the strobe is de-activated it invokes a final
flash to discharge the high voltage. Back-up circuitry guarantees discharge of the high voltage within 3 minutes.
For your own safety be sure to observe the following precautions when installing and servicing the unit:
NEVER
remove the cover when the strobe is flashing
WAIT
3 minutes after the strobe stops flashing before removing the cover
AVOID
touching the part of the PCB labelled “Warning High Voltage”
