SRAC-23-ZBS / SRAC-23B-ZBS / SRAC-23B-ZBSR
AC Powered Indoor Siren
Introduction
SRAC-23(B)-ZBS is an AC Powered ZigBee Indoor Siren. It is capable of raising alarm upon receiving
alarm signal from the coordinator in the ZigBee network when an alarm is activated. Du ring the alarm,
the siren will sound alarm with its built-in buzzer.
The Indoor Siren utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless
communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission efficiency.
Based on IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network
and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission.
Model
The Indoor Siren includes the following models:
SRAC-23-ZBS: Standard Indoor Siren
SRAC-23B-ZBS: Features built-in rechargeable battery to serve as backup power source when the Siren
is unplugged from AC power.

Function Button Usage:
- Press once to send a supervision signal.
- Press and hold the button for 10 seconds then release to
reset the Indoor Siren.
- Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to change
indication beep volume.
LED Indicator:
- One Flash:
The security system is armed.
- Two flashes:
The security system is disarmed
The Indoor Siren has successfully joined a ZigBee
network

The Indoor Siren has not joined any ZigBee network, or has lost
connection to its current ZigBee network.
- Continuous Flash:
The Siren is alarming.
Features
Alarm Activation
When an alarm is activated, the Indoor Siren will activate its buzzer and the LED indicator will flash
continuously while the siren is alarming. If the alarm system control panel has programmed alarm
duration, the Siren will be activated according to panel alarm length. If the alarm system does not
have alarm duration programmed, the Siren will be activated for 15 minutes.

The Indoor Siren activates different audio sounds
according to different statuses of the security system, as
listed in table on the right:
You can change the volume of the indication beeping
sound between High and Low by pressing an d holding the
learn button for 3 seconds. The factory default volum e is
set to Low.

Power Supply
The Siren is powered by AC power; plug the Siren into the power socket to activate th e Sir en. T he
Siren will enter normal operation mode.
SRAC-23B-ZBS and SRAC-23B-ZBSR models have a rechargeable battery inside that serves as
backup when the Siren is unplugged from AC power. The battery will be charged automatically
when the Siren is plugged. It takes about 72 hours to fully charge the battery.
Low Battery Detection (SRAC-23B-ZBS / SRAC-23B-ZBSR only)
After AC power failure, the Siren will transmit a Low Battery signal to The Control Panel when lo w
battery voltage is detected. To restore battery, re-plug AC power into the power socket. After 12
hours, the Siren will transmit a low battery restored notification to the Control Panel.
AC Failure Detection
Whenever the Siren is removed from the power socket, the siren will transmit an AC fault signal to
the coordinator to notify the situation and switch to its internal battery for power supply.
When the Siren is plugged in again on the power socket, it will send an AC power restore signal to
the coordinator.
Supervision
The Indoor Siren will transmit a supervision signal to report its condition re gularly according to us er
setting. The factory default interval is 30 minutes. The user can also press the Function Button once
to transmit a supervision signal manually.
ZigBee Network Setup
ZigBee Device Guideline
ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and
high transmission efficiency. Based on IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of
devices to be included in a network and coordinated for data exchange and signal transm ission.
Due to the fundamental structure of ZigBee network, ZigBee device will actively seek and join
network after powering on. Since performing a task in connecting network may consume some
power, it is required to follow the instructions to avoid draining battery of a ZigBee device
- Ensure your ZigBee network router or coordinator is powered on before powering on the ZigBee
device.
- Ensure the ZigBee network router or coordinator is p owered on and within range while a Z igBee
device is in use.
- Do not remove a ZigBee device from the ZigBee network router or coordinator without powering
down the ZigBee device.
Joining the ZigBee Network
As a ZigBee device, the Indoor Siren needs to join a ZigBee network to send and receive alarm
signal. Please follow the steps below to join the Indoor Siren into the ZigBee network.
1. Plug the Indoor Siren into a power outlet.
2. Press and hold the function button for 10 seconds as the Siren resets and starts searching for
existing ZigBee network. Please make sure the permit-to-join feature on the router or coordinator
of your ZigBee network is enabled.
3. If the Siren successfully joins a ZigBee network, the LED Indicator will flash twice to confirm.
4. After joining the ZigBee network, the Indoor Siren will be registered in the security system in the
network automatically. Please check the security system control panel or CIE (Control and
Indicating Equipment) to confirm if joining and registration is successful.
5. For SRAC-23(B)-ZBS, after joining the ZigBee network, if the Siren loses connection to its
current ZigBee network, the LED indicator will flash every 20 minutes to indicate. Please check
your ZigBee network condition and siren signal range and correct the condition.
Removing Device from ZigBee Network (Factory Reset)
To remove the Siren from current ZigBee network, the Siren must be put to Factory Reset to
