Note: Diagrams are for illustration purposes only actual appearance may vary.

System Arming

The system has an Instant-Arm and Delay-Arm mode.
If the system is armed in Instant-Arm mode then all
detectors will immediately become fully armed. Any
detector triggered while the system is armed will
immediately sound an alarm.

Entry / Exit Delay

If the system is armed in Delay-Arm mode this will
activate the system with a 15 second entry/exit delay
period. This allows a 15 second period for the user to
exit the property after setting the system with the
Remote Control or the Remote Keypad. Any detector
triggered while the system is armed will cause an
alarm condition after the 15 second entry/exit delay
has expired. This allows time for the system to be
Disarmed before an alarm sounds when re-entering
the property.

Note: To conserve power and maximise battery life
the PIR Detector will only detect movement if there
has been no movement detected within the previous
2 minutes. Consequently the PIR Detector will not
become active until the protected area has been free
from movement for more than 2 minutes.

Alarm Lockout

If a detector is triggered while the system is armed,
the alarm will sound. After the set alarm duration has
ended, the alarm will stop and the system will
automatically reset. Subsequent detectors triggered
will again sound the alarm. If the alarm is triggered
more than 3 times then it will become ‘Locked Out’
and any further alarm signals will be ignored until the
system is re-armed.

Tamper Protection

All system devices (except the Remote Control)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorised attempts to interfere with the
device.

Any attempt to remove the battery cover from any
device (except a Remote Control) or to remove the
Siren from the wall will trigger an alarm (unless the
system is in Service Mode), even if the system is
Disarmed

Jamming Detection

In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the
radio channel used by your alarm system, a special
jamming detection function is incorporated in the
Siren. If this feature is enabled, an alarm will be
triggered if the radio channel is jammed continuously

for more than 30 seconds or if the system is jammed
f

or more than 3 periods of 10 seconds in a 5 minute
period. (The Siren will emit a series of rapid beeps
for 5 seconds as a pre-alarm warning 10 seconds
before a full alarm occurs).

The jamming detection circuit is designed to
permanently scan for jamming signals. However, it is
p

ossible that it may detect other local radio
interference operating legally or illegally on the same
frequency. If it is planned to operate the jamming
detection feature we recommend that the system is
monitored for false jamming alarms for at least 2
weeks prior to leaving the jamming detection
function permanently enabled.

Battery Monitoring

All devices powered by non-rechargeable batteries
incorporate a battery level monitoring feature which
will warn of a low battery status. The batteries on
any device indicating a low battery status should be
replaced immediately.

System House Code

In order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to
operate or disarm your system, you must configure
your system to accept radio signals only from your
own system devices. This is done by setting a series
of 8 DIP switches in all devices to the same ON/OFF
combination (the House Code) selected by the
user/installer.

The House Code is set up by moving each of the 8
DIP switches in each device to the same randomly
selected ON/OFF sequence. When setting the DIP
switches, ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ fully into
position. Use the tip of a ballpoint pen or a small
screwdriver to move each switch in turn.

All devices must be configured with the same House
Code in order for the system to operate correctly.

IMPORTANT: It is important that the system House
Code is always changed to a code other than the
factory setting and that all devices are configured
with the same House Code in order for the system to
operate correctly.

The example below shows a typical property
incorporating the suggested positions for the
Remote Keypad, PIR and Magnetic Detectors for
optimum security.

Use this as a guide for your installation in conjunction
with the recommendations contained in this manual
for planning your intruder alarm system.

Before attempting to install your Alarm System it is
important to study your security requirements and
plan your installation.

The alarm system may be extended at any time to
provide even greater protection by fitting additional
devices to meet your personal security needs.

Remote Control Unit

The Remote Control Unit is used to Arm and
Disarm the system

.

The Remote will activate the Instant-Arm,

Delay-Arm

or Disarm functions.

The Remote Control also incorporates a Personal
Attack Switch (PAS). Activating the PAS will
immediately initiate a Full Alarm condition whether
the system is Armed or Disarmed, (unless the system
is in Service, Test or Program mode).

Any number of Remote Controls can be used with
your system, providing they are all coded with the
same system House Code.

The Remote Control is powered by a CR2032 type
Lithium Cell battery which under normal conditions will
have a typical life in excess of 1 year. Under normal
battery conditions the LED on the Remote Control will
only illuminate when a button is pressed. However,
under low battery conditions the LED will flash every
time the button is pressed. When this occurs the
battery should be replaced as soon as possible.

Setting the Remote Control

1.

Remove the front cover by undoing the small
screw on the rear of the Remote Control.

2.

Located above the battery is a row of 8 DIP
switches. Select and record a random combination
of ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ positions for the DIP switches.
This will be the system House Code and must be
set to the same ON/OFF combination as the House
Code DIP switches in all other System Devices.

Important: The House Code for your system should
be changed from the factory default setting.

3. To utilise the panic facility on the Remote Control,

remove the Jumper Link. If ‘panic’ is not required
leave the Jumper Link in place.

4.

Remove the battery from its packaging and insert
it under the clip ensuring that the +v terminal faces
upwards away from the PCB.

5.

Replace the front cover and fixing screw.

Testing the Remote Control

1.

Press the button. The Transmit LED should
illuminate while the button is pressed and
extinguish within 1 second of releasing the button.

2.

Press the and buttons in turn to
ensure that the Transmit LED illuminates as
before.

ncluded in SA2 E system, available as
an optional accessory for the SA1 E,
SA1 E PLUS and SA1PF E systems.

The Wireless Remote keypad is used to control the
system by using a four digit User Access Code.

The Remote keypad incorporates Panic and anti­tamper protection features that will immediately
initiate a Full Alarm condition when activated. Any
attempt to open the casing of the Remote keypad
will immediately initiate a Full Alarm condition even if
the system is disarmed, (unless the system is in
Service mode). In addition if a sequence of more
than 16 incorrect key presses is entered the Remote
keypad will be disabled for the next 1 minute. During
this 1 minute duration the LED will keep flashing
slowly. Consecutively disabled for 3 times, the Remote
Keypad will emit the tamper signal to the Siren.

The Remote Keypad is powered by a 9V PP3 Alkaline
battery. Under normal operating conditions this will
provide an expected life in excess of 1 year. When
the battery level falls below an acceptable level, the
“LOW BATTERY” indicator on the front of the Remote
Keypad will flash. When this occurs the battery
should be replaced as soon as possible.

Positioning the Remote Keypad

The Remote Keypad is rated IP44 and suitable for
mounting outdoors. The Remote Keypad should be
mounted in a position close to the main entrance door
so that the user access code can be entered easily.

Ensure that the position selected for the Remote
Keypad is within the effective range of the Siren.

Note: DO NOT fix the Remote Keypad to metalwork
or

locate the unit within 1m of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the
radio range of the Remote Keypad.

Installing and Configuring
the Remote Keypad

Ensure that the Siren is in Service mode.

1.

Undo and remove the fixing screw from the
bottom edge of the Remote Keypad and remove
the wall mounting plate

2.

Using the mounting plate as a template, mark the
positions of the four fixing holes on the wall.

Note: To make the best use of anti-tamper
protection you must insert a wall plug and screw
in the specified hole (as illustrated).

3.

Fix the mounting plate to the wall using the
screws and wall plugs provided, (a 5mm hole will
be required for the wall plugs). Do not over­tighten the fixing screws as this may distort or
damage the mounting plate.

Note: Installing the Remote Keypad against a flat
and smooth wall is of great importance so as to
avoid the tamper switch being falsely triggered.

Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product
are not suitable for plasterboard walls, if
mounting the Remote Keypad on to plasterboard
use appropriate wall plugs.

4.

Undo and remove the two fixing screws in the rear
of the Remote Keypad and remove the rear cover.

Note: The Remote Keypad is supplied with a default
User Access Code of: 1234. For security reasons, it
is recommended that this code is changed to
another four digit number which only you and other
users of the system know.

Note: Use thumb and middle finger to hinge off the
cover. The Remote Keypad has a back light illumination
facility. It will illuminate for 5 seconds when opening
the cover or pressing any key.

Inputting the House Code

I

n order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to

o

perate or disarm your system, you must configure

y

our system to accept radio signals only from your own

s

ystem devices. This is done by setting a series of
eight miniature (DIP) switches in all devices to the same
ON/OFF combination (The House Code) selected by the
user/installer. For security reasons, the Keypad does not
include a DIP switch, but house code setting is essential.

To input the house code, press the following keys in
sequence:

1.

Press

2.

Enter

3.

Press , the LED will illuminate once
and flash twice

4.

Press

5.

Press , the LED will illuminate once

and flash three times to confirm the setting has
been accepted.

For example: if the house code set on the devices
reads as: 12578. It means the Dip Switch numbers
1, 2, 5, 7, 8 are set to the “ON” position, while 3, 4, 6
are set to the “OFF” position. Apply the Dip Switchs
set in “ON” positions for house code inputting.

Resetting to Factory Default

If you forget the User Access code, you can reset the
User Access code to factory default by following the
steps below:

1.

Remove the battery.

2.

is entered the Remote Keypad will be disabled for
the next 1 minute.

Consecutively disabled for 3 times,

the Remote Keypad will emit a Tamper

signal to the

Solar Siren with LED flashing slowly.

Note: When the Remote Keypad is disabled for
1 minute, the LED will flash slowly, indicating
that the Remote Keypad is shut down temporarily.
During this 1 minute, any pressing to the keypad
will be treated as invalid pressing. After the elapse
of 1 minute, effective inputting will be accepted.

Testing the Remote Keypad

1.

Replacing the Batteries

The “LOW BATTERY” indicator on the front of the
Remote Keypad will not flash until the Keypad emits
RF radio signal. In short, the “LOW BATTERY” indication
won’t be seen in normal circumstance. The batteries
should be replaced as soon as possible as follows:

1.

By pressing the User Access code twice, two LEDs
( & ) will keep flashing for 20 seconds.
During this 20 seconds duration, no radio signal
will emit and any inputting will not be accepted.
In this way, the Remote Keypad won’t emit radio
signal when replacing the battery.

2.

Undo fixing screw at bottom of Remote Keypad
and remove from wall mounting plate.

3.

Undo two fixing screws in the rear cover and
remove cover.

4.

PIR Detectors are designed to detect movement
in a protected area by detecting changes in
infra-red radiation levels caused, for example,
when a person moves within or across the devices
field of vision. If movement is detected an alarm
signal will be triggered, (if the system is armed).

Note: PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so
ensure that pets are not in areas fitted with PIR
Detectors when the system is armed.

Any number of PIR Detectors can be used with
your system providing they are all coded with the
system house code, and are mounted within
effective radio range.

The PIR Detector is powered by a 9V PP3 alkaline
battery. Under normal operating conditions this
will provide an expected life in excess of 1 year.
When the battery level becomes low the PIR
Detector will flash a red LED behind the lens.
When this occurs the battery should be replaced as
soon as possible

.

Positioning the PIR Detector

The recommended position for a PIR Detector is in
the corner of a room mounted at a height of between
2 and 2.5m. At this height, the PIR Detector will have
a maximum range of up to 12m with a field of view
of 110°.

The position of the PCB inside the PIR can be set to 5
different positions to adjust the range of the PIR
Detector. Setting the PCB in position 3 will reduce the
range to 9m approximately, with position 1 providing
a range of 6m approximately. The recommended
position setting for the PCB is in position 5.

Note: The range as indicated above refers to the
linear distance in front of the PIR Detector.

When deciding upon the mounting position for the
PIR Detector the following points should be
considered to ensure trouble free operation:

1. Do not position the PIR Detector facing a
window or where it is exposed to or facing
direct sunlight. PIR Detectors are not suitable
for use in conservatories or for external use.

2. Do not position the PIR Detector where it is
exposed to draughts.

3. Do not position the PIR Detector directly above
a heat source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).

4. Where possible, mount the PIR Detector in the
corner of the room so that the logical path of an
intruder would cut across the fan detection
pattern. PIR Detectors respond more effectively
to movement across the device than to
movement directly towards it.

5. Do not locate the PIR Detector in a position
where it is subject to excessive vibration.

6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR
Detector is within effective range of the System.

Note: When the system is armed, pets should
not be allowed into an area protected by a PIR
Detector as their movement will trigger the PIR
and generate an alarm.

water pipes, etc) as this could affect the radio
range of the device.

Installing and Configuring the
PIR Movement Detector

Ensure that the system is in Service Mode

1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the
bottom edge of the PIR Detector. Carefully pull
the bottom edge of the PIR Detector away from
the rear cover and then slide down to release
the top clips.

2. Carefully drill the required mounting holes in the
rear cover using a 3mm drill relevant to whether
the PIR Detector is being mounted in a corner or
against a flat wall.

3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the
positions of the fixing holes on the wall.

4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two
18mm No.4 screws and 25mm wall plugs, (a
5mm hole will be required for the wall plugs).
Do not over-tighten the fixing screws as this
may distort or damage the cover.

Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product
are not suitable for plasterboard walls, if
mounting the PIR Detector onto plasterboard
use appropriate wall plugs.

5. Configure the PIR Detector as described in
‘Setting the PIR Detectors’. Remember that on
initial installation the device needs to be tested
and should therefore be set in Walk Test Mode.

6. Check that the PIR Detector PCB is located and
set in the correct position to give the detection
zone pattern required.

To adjust the PCB position, simply slide it up or
down ensuring that the location legs are aligned
with the required position number marked on
the board.

7. To refit the PIR Detector to the rear cover, offer it
up to the rear cover and locate the clips in the top
edge into the rear cover. Push the lower edge of
the PIR Detector into place and refit the fixing
screw in the bottom edge to secure in position.
Do not over-tighten the fixing screws as this may
damage the casing.

Setting the PIR Detector

Located on the PCB of the PIR Detector are two
blocks of DIP switches (SW2 and SW3).

When setting Dip Switches to House Code, hold
the PIR Detector ‘upside down’ as shown in the
diagram below:

1. DIP switches SW2 (numbered 1-8) are used to
set the House Code for the PIR Detector and
must be set to the same ON/OFF combination
as the House Code DIP switches in all other
system devices.

i

nstallation without triggering a Full Alarm.

Note: On initial installation the PIR Detector should
be set to Walk-Test mode ready for testing.

4. The PIR Detector incorporates a sensitivity feature
designed to compensate for situations where the
Detector may be affected by environmental
changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc). This
feature is called “Detection Sensitivity” and may be
set to Standard or High Sensitivity.

Note: The higher the sensitivity the less movement
will be necessary before the PIR Detector will
trigger the alarm.

The recommended setting is Standard Sensitivity.
If set to High Sensitivity, in some cases, extreme
environmental problems could cause unattributed
false alarms. If this is experienced it may be
necessary to reset the PIR Detector to Standard
Sensitivity.

Set the required detection sensitivity using DIP 5
of SW3 as follows:

5

. Connect the PP3 alkaline battery to the battery clip.

Note: When the 9V alkaline battery is connected,
the LED behind the lens will flash for 2-3 minutes
until the PIR has warmed-up and stabilized. The
LED will then stop flashing and turn OFF.

Testing The PIR Detector

Before testing the PIR Detector ensure that the
system is in Service Mode.

With the PIR Detector set in Walk Test mode (Switch

4) and mounted in position on the wall, allow 2-3
minutes for the

PIR Detector

to stabilize before

commencing the Walk Test.

1. Walk into and move slowly around the protected
area, each time the PIR Detector senses your
movement the LED behind the Lens will flash.

If necessary re-adjust the detection pattern by
changing the mounting position of the PCB
within the PIR housing.

2.

Reconfigure the PIR Detector for normal operation
mode by setting DIP4 of SW3 to OFF and refit in
position.
Note: In normal operation, the LED behind the
PIR Detector lens will not flash on movement
detection, (unless the battery is low).

Note: When the PIR Detector is fully installed
i.e. battery cover is refitted; the unit will not
detect movement for approximately 45 seconds
after each activation. (This feature is present to
conserve battery power and maximize the
battery life).

door/window will remove the magnetic field, trigger
the Detector and generate an alarm condition, (if the
system is armed).

The Detector is powered by two CR2032 type Lithium
cells which under normal conditions will have an
expected life in excess of 1 year. Under normal
battery conditions the LED on the Detector will not
illuminate when the Detector is triggered, (unless in
test mode). However, under low-battery conditions
this LED will be illuminated for approx. 1 second
when the detector is triggered. When this occurs the
batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.

The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to
connect an additional wired Magnetic Contact. This
additional contact must be of a normally closed
contact type with the contacts being opened in order
to generate an alarm condition.

Positioning the Magnetic
Contact Detector

The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for
mounting in dry interior locations only.

Decide which doors/windows are to be protected
by Magnetic Contact Detectors, (as a minimum
usually the front and back doors will have Magnetic
Contact Detectors fitted). Additional detectors may
also be added where required to other vulnerable
doors or windows, (e.g. garage, patio/conservatory
doors etc).
Ensure that the position selected for the Magnetic
Contact Detector is within effective range of the Siren.

Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal
frame, or mounting within 1 metre of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the
radio range of the device. If required, it may be
necessary to space the Magnet and Detector away
from the metal surface using a plastic or wooden
spacer to achieve the necessary radio range.

Installing and Configuring the
Magnetic Contact Detector

Ensure that the system is in Service Mode

1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it off.

(DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever the cover off).

2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and pulling the connector off the printed
circuit board.

3. Mount the Detector to the fixed part of the frame
along the opening edge using either the double
sided adhesive tape or screws provided.

If fixing the Detector with screws; Fit the Keyhole
slot in the top of the Detector over the head of the
smaller panhead screw. Secure the bottom of the
Detector using the 12mm countersunk head screw
fitted within the battery compartment. You will
need to drill out the centre of the fixing screw hole
using a 3mm drill. Do not over-tighten the fixing
screws as this may distort or damage the casing.

4. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the
door / window opposite the Detector using the
adhesive tape or 15mm fixing screws.

Ensure that the parallel gap between the Magnet
and Detector is less than 10mm and that the
arrow on the Magnet is pointing towards and
aligned with the mark on the Detector.

5. If an additional wired Magnetic Contact is
required, this should be wired to the terminal
block provided in the battery compartment and
the jumper link (S2) below should be removed.
The wired contact should be connected using two
core (24AWG) wire of maximum length 1.5m.

A cable entry cut-out is provided beside the
terminal block in the battery cover.

6. Set the Detector as described in the next section.

7. Slide the batteries supplied into the holder,
ensuring that the positive (+) side is uppermost on
each battery as it is installed.

8. Carefully refit the battery holder onto the Detector
ensuring that the spring connectors slide onto
either side of the circuit board.

9. Refit the battery cover.

Setting the Magnetic
Contact Detector

1. Located in the battery compartment is a row of 11
DIP switches.

2. DIP switches 1-8 are used to set the House Code
for the Detector and must be set to the same
ON/ OFF combination as the House Code DIP
switches in all other system devices.

3. DIP switches 9 -11 must be set as follows.

4. If additional external contacts are wired to the
Detector, remove the jumper link S2 on the PCB.

I

mportant: If external contacts are not connected

t

hen jumper link SW2 must be fitted for the

D

etector to operate correctly.

Testing the Magnetic
Contact Detector

Ensure that the system is in Test/Service Mode

1. Remove the battery cover from the Detector.

As the battery cover is removed the LED on the
Detector will illuminate for approx. 1 second to
indicate that the tamper switch has been
activated.

2. Open the door/window. As the Magnet is moved
away from the Detector the LED will illuminate for
approx. 1 second to indicate that the Detector has
been triggered.

3. If connected, operate the wired Magnetic Contact.
As the contact is opened the LED on the Detector
should illuminate for 1 second to indicate that it
has been triggered.

4. Replace the battery cover on the Detector.

5. It is recommended that the operation of the
Detector is also tested with the alarm in normal
operating mode to ensure that the Detector will
successfully trigger a Full Alarm condition.

Siren Housing

The Siren, Strobe Light and Solar Panel are all
encapsulated within a tough polycarbonate housing.
This housing provides full protection against adverse
weather conditions. All electronic components are
specially treated to ensure long, reliable, trouble free
operation and an integral tamper switch gives
maximum security protection to the unit.

An LED indicator unit is built into the Siren to act as
a visible deterrent and indication that the system is
active. The LEDs will slowly and alternately flash
whether the system is Armed or Disarmed. When
an alarm occurs the LEDs will flash rapidly together.

An integral tamper switch provides additional
security protection to the Siren and will immediately
trigger an alarm should any unauthorised attempt
be made to interfere with and remove the Siren
cover, (unless the Siren is in Service Mode).

Rechargeable Battery

The Solar Siren is powered by a high capacity
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 Solar Siren unit.

Initial Power-Up Battery

An Alkaline 9V PP3 battery is supplied in the Siren &
Strobe unit to provide the initial power to the system.

Siren Code

An encrypted code is set using a combination of
miniature switches. This enables you to select a
unique security code for your installation.

Choosing a Location for the
Solar Siren

The Siren & Strobe unit should be fitted to the outside
of the building in a position that is clearly visible and at
a height which is relatively inaccessible to an intruder.

Although the Siren & Strobe is designed to work on
any aspect wall, you should refrain from fixing the
unit on a North facing wall where possible.

Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof
overhangs should also be avoided. In practice, the
Siren & Strobe should be positioned a minimum of
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 Siren & Strobe contains a sophisticated radio
receiver. However, reception of radio signals can be
affected by the presence of metallic objects within
the vicinity of the Siren & Strobe. It is therefore
important to mount the Siren & Strobe a minimum
distance of 1 metre radius away from any external
or internal metalwork, ie external drainpipes, gutters
and internal radiators, mirrors etc.

Installing the

Solar Siren

Remove the holding screw from the base of the housing
and carefully hinge off the front cover. All electronic
components are housed within the front cover.

Use the rear back-plate as a template to mark the
position of the four fixing holes on the external wall.
Drill four 6mm holes and insert the plastic wall plugs.
Mount the back-plate using the four screws provided.

Setting the Solar Siren

Ensure that the Solar Siren main configuration switch
if fitted on the LED strobe board is set to “C.U.” 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

This is the maximum length of time that the Solar
Siren will sound for when activated under an alarm
condition. T

he alarm duration can be set for either

1 or 3 minutes. Set dip switch 9

as follows:

OFF 1 minute limit
ON 3 minutes

Beep Disable

The Solar Siren will acknowledge Arm and Disarm
signals from the Remote Control or Remote Keypad
by beeping once for Arm and twice for Disarm. 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).

Refit the dip switch cover securely.

crews. Do not over tighten the screw as this could

d

amage 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

In order to remove the Siren from the wall to change
the batteries, it is necessary to place the Siren into

When leaving the premises, the system must be
Armed. However, before doing so, check that all
windows are closed and locked, all protected doors
are closed and PIR Detectors are not obstructed.
Ensure that pets are restricted to areas not
protected by PIR Detectors.

The system has 2 armed modes, Instant-Arm and
Delay-Arm.

Instant-Arm mode will immediately Arm the system.
Once the system is Armed, activating any detector
(i.e. Opening a door/windows protected by a
Magnetic Contact Detector or moving into a PIR
protected area), will immediately trigger an Alarm.
On returning to and entering the property the system
must be Disarmed before opening any protected
door or entering an area protected by a PIR Detector
otherwise an Alarm will occur. For this reason when
using Instant-Arm mode, the system should be
Armed and Disarmed from outside the property using
the Remote Control.

Delay-Arm mode will Arm the system with a 15
second entry/exit delay. On arming the system in
Delay-Mode the siren will beep once and then again
after the 15 second delay has expired. This allows
time for you to leave the property before the system
becomes fully Armed. On returning to and entering
the property by opening a protected door or moving
through a PIR protected area the system will be
triggered and the Siren will emit a single long beep.
However, an Alarm will not sound until the 15
second delay has expired. The system must be
Disarmed using either the Remote Control or
Remote Keypad during the 15 second delay to
prevent the Alarm from sounding.

If an Alarm occurs the Siren will sound continuously
until the set alarm duration time expires. The alarm
will then stop and the system will automatically
re-arm itself. This process can be repeated up to
3 times after which time the ‘Alarm Lockout’ feature
will operate and prevent the system from re-arming.

Notes: To conserve power and maximise battery
life the PIR Detector will only detect movement if
there has been no movement detected within the
previous 2 minutes.

will immediately occur (unless the Siren is in Service
Mode), even if the system is Disarmed.

The Alarm will sound until the set alarm duration
time expires or the system is Disarmed from the
Remote Control or Remote Keypad.

Battery Monitoring

All system devices continuously monitor their
battery condition. When a low battery indicator is
activated the device will continue to operate
normally for up to 2 weeks (depending upon system
use). However, the battery for that device should be
replaced as soon as possible.

Note: Before replacing the battery in any device
switch the system into Service Mode as previously
described. When the batteries have been replaced,
the system should be returned to Operating Mode.
The low battery indication for each system device is
as follows:

Your alarm system requireds very little maintenance.
However, a few simple tasks will ensure its continued
reliability and operation.

IMPORTANT: If, for any reason you have to completely
power-down the Solar Siren (e.g. to move the
system to new premises), first put the system into
Service Mode before removing the Siren cover and
disconnecting the main rechargeable and initial power­up batteries. Ensure that the solar panel is covered
with a lightproof material to prevent it being energised;
otherwise the solar panel may still power the siren.

Solar Siren

1. It is recommended that the Solar Panel on the top of
the siren housing should be cleaned at least twice
a year, preferably in the spring and autumn, using
a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive, solvent
based or aerosol cleaners. Do not attempt to clean
inside the unit or allow water to enter the unit.

This will ensure that the Solar Panel does not
become affected by the build up of excessive dirt
and receives all the available light.

2. The Solar Siren should not be left for long periods
with the batteries connected, unless the unit is
able to receive sufficient light to maintain the
battery charge. Failure to maintain charge to the
unit will result in the rechargeable battery running
unacceptably low. Should this occur, the unit
must be recharged from a 7.5 V dc/100mA supply
(e.g. from a mains adaptor power supply). When
re-powering the Siren fit a new 9V PP3 leak proof
Alkaline power-up battery to ensure that the Solar
Siren receives sufficient power until the solar
panel can recharge the main battery.

3. The main rechargeable battery has a typical life
of 3-4 years and needs no maintenance during
this period, provided the battery is kept charged.
The battery will be damaged if it is stored in a
discharged state for long periods.

IMPORTANT: Before removing the Solar Siren
from the wall ensure that the Siren is first switched
into Service Mode to prevent the Tamper Switch
operating and triggering an alarm (see page 19).
The Siren must be switched back into Operating
Mode otherwise the system cannot be Armed.

Detectors, Remote Control
and Remote Keypad

The detectors require very little maintenance. The
batteries should be replaced once a year or when a
low battery status is indicated.

Batteries

Note: Before removing the battery cover on any

device to replace the battery ensure that the Solar
Siren is switched into Service Mode to avoid
triggering an alarm.

The specifications for replacement batteries are as
follows:

Note: Where applicable only fit 9V PP3 Alkaline
type batteries. Rechargeable batteries should NOT
be fitted.

4. Ensure the ‘House Code’ is correctly set to the
same code as all other system devices.

5. Ensure the DIP switches 9, 10 and 11 are correctly
set (i.e. 9 =ON, 10 = ON and 11 = OFF).

6. If there is no additional wired Magnetic Contact
connected ensure the jumper link is fitted.

7. If an additional wired Magnetic Contact is
connected:

a. Ensure the jumper link is removed.
b. Check that both contacts are closed.
c. Check that additional contact is correctly wired.
Note: If an additional wired contact is used, the

doors/windows connected to both contact
detectors must be closed when the system is
armed (otherwise neither door/window will
be protected).

8. Ensure the detector is within effective radio range
of the Siren and is not mounted close to metal
objects which may interfere with the radio
transmission.
