Setting the Solar Siren
Ensure that the Solar Siren main configuration switch
if fitted on the LED strobe board is set to “SIREN” for
use with this alarm system.
Undo the 3 screws holding the DIP Switch cover in
place and remove the cover.
House Code
Under the corner cover you will find a series of 9 DIP
switches.
DIP switches 1- 8 are used to set the House Code for
the siren and must be set to the same ON/OFF
combination as all other system devices.
Note: When the Solar Siren is viewed as shown above
(Solar panel at top) the DIP switches are ‘upside down’.
Alarm Duration Limit
If required the maximum length of time that the
External Solar Siren will sound for when activated
under an alarm condition may be limited to 3 minutes
using DIP switch 9 as follows:
OFF 3 minute limit
ON 10 minutes or same as programmed
setting on Control Panel.
Beep Disable
The Solar Siren will acknowledge Disarm signals from
the Remote Control by beeping twice. It is possible to
disable the beeps if required by removing the jumper
link P2 on the circuit board.
Siren Disable
If for any reason you need to disable the Siren, remove
jumper link P3 on the circuit board. This will prevent
the Siren from sounding during an alarm condition.
However, the Siren will still beep to acknowledge
signals from the Remote Control, (provided the beep
feature is not disabled).
Once you have completed configuring the Solar Siren,
refit the DIP switch cover and replace the three cover
fixing screws. Do not over tighten the screw as this
could damage the thread.
Initial Power-Up of the Solar Siren
1.
Connect the 9V PP3 initial power battery to the
battery clip.
Connect the rechargeable battery to the charging
leads. Connect the Red lead to the Red (+) terminal
and the Black lead to the Black (-) terminals.
Note: Once the batteries have been connected, the
Siren will be operational and it is important that the
Solar panel receives sufficient light to maintain the
battery charge. The Siren should not be operated
repeatedly during installation and testing, as this
will rapidly drain the battery. It is recommended
that the Siren be left for at least a day in order to
charge the battery before the system is armed.
2.
Press the anti-tamper switch, the LEDs will flash
together to indicate that the unit is operational.
3.
Hinge the front cover locating tabs over the top
edge of the back plate and carefully push the base
of the siren cover into place. Secure the siren
cover in place by refitting the fixing screw in the
bottom edge of the cover. Do not over tighten the
screw as this could damage the thread.
Important: Ensure that the rear tamper switch is
closed when you fit the siren cover to the back plate
(i.e. listen for the switch to click). If the switch does
not close this will prevent the Solar Siren from
operating correctly.
4.
The fitting of the Solar Siren is now complete.
Siren Service Mode
The Solar Siren includes a Service Mode facility
which prevents the Siren’s tamper switch from
triggering an alarm whilst it is removed from the wall
for maintenance or to change the batteries. After
changing the batteries and refitting in position, the
Solar Siren must be put back into Operating Mode,
otherwise it will not sound in the event of an alarm.
Service Mode: Press and hold the button
on the Remote Control.
The Siren will produce two short beeps/LED
flashes and then after approximately 6 seconds a
