EXTERNAL SOLAR SIREN
The Siren and Solar Panel are all encapsulated within a
tough polycarbonate housing. This housing provides
full protection against adverse weather conditions.
An LED/Strobe unit is built into the siren to act as a
visible deterrent/indication that the system is active.
The Strobe LEDs will slowly and alternately flash
whether the system is Armed or Disarmed. During an
alarm condition the Strobe LEDs will flash rapidly.
An integral anti-tamper switch provides additional
security protection to the Siren and will immediately
generate a full alarm should any unauthorised attempt
be made to interfere with and remove the siren cover.
The Siren is powered by a high capacity 6V/1.2Ahr
rechargeable sealed lead acid battery. A Solar Panel
mounted on the top of the housing charges the battery
during daylight hours. During darkness, only a small
amount of energy is required to operate the Siren unit.
A 9V Alkaline PP3 battery is supplied in the External
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 Siren should be located as high as possible in a
prominent position so that it can be easily seen and
heard. The 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.
To provide the optimum amount of daylight to the
Solar Panel, you should ideally mount the Solar Siren
on a south facing wall. However, an easterly or
westerly position will suffice.
Although 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 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 External 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).
Ensure that the position selected for the Solar Siren is
within effective range of the Control Panel. It is
recommended that prior to installation the Solar Siren
is configured and tested with the Control Panel to
ensure that they are within effective range.
