FOREWORD
Your decision to purchase an Eclipse Wirefree Solar
Alarm System represents a major and sensible step
towards total protection of your premises, its contents
and its occupants.
The Eclipse Wirefree Solar Alarm System complies with
the requirements of BS6799 Class 1 for Wireless Alarms.
All components are designed and manufactured to
provide a high standard of security protection and long,
reliable service. In addition, the radio devices are tested
and approved by the Radio Regulatory division of the
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to ensure that
they will not interfere with other radio equipment. No
radio licence is required, however, the approved radio
frequency is not protected from interference and may be
withdrawn from use at any time subject to the DTI giving
users an appropriate notice period.
The Eclipse Wirefree Solar Alarm System is purposely
designed for installation by non-experienced people
using only conventional domestic tools. However, it is
essential that the lnstaller reads and fully understands
the advice and procedures contained in this manual
before proceeding with the installation. This manual
should be retained for future reference.
During installation, it is also important that the
procedures are followed in sequence.
IMPORTANT NOTE
All components, with the exception of the External
Solar Siren are only suitable for internal use.
SYSTEM SECURITY
This system has been designed to both detect intruders
and act as a strong deterrent to would-be intruders.
Please remember that given adequate knowledge and
time it is possible to overcome any alarm system and
we therefore recommend that an Intruder Alarm is used
in conjunction with good physical protection such as
security window and door locks.
The system is operated from one or more Remote
Control Units, which are encoded by the user to his/her
own House Code. The House Code can be changed at
any time by the user to suit the circumstances.
Care should be taken to ensure that your Remote
Control Unit(s) are not lost as the finder could Disarm
your alarm before you are able to re-code the system.

GENERAL INFORMATION
HOUSING
The Siren 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.
SOLAR PANEL
The Solar Panel mounted on the housing will maintain
a charge to the rechargeable battery during daylight
hours. During darkness, a negligible amount of energy
is released by the rechargeable battery to operate the
Siren unit.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
A high capacity 6 Volt 1.2Ahr sealed lead acid
rechargeable battery ensures that the Siren is self
maintainable during darkness and long winter periods.
INITIAL POWER-UP BATTERY
An Alkaline 9 Volt PP3 battery is supplied in the
External Siren to boost the initial power to the unit.
HOUSE CODE
An encrypted code is set using a combination of
miniature switches. This enables you to select a
unique security code for your installation.
LOCATION
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. In practice, the
Solar Siren 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 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 1 metre radius away from any external
or internal metalwork, ie. external drainpipes, gutters
and internal radiators, mirrors etc.
It is recommended that you check the suitability of
your chosen location for the Solar Siren by temporarily
fitting it to the external wall. Power up the unit and
Remote Control, as described below, and check that
you can operate the Siren from in and around the
property, and from all locations where you plan to
install detectors.
INSTALLATION
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 diameter holes and insert the plastic
wall plugs. Mount the back-plate using the four
screws provided.

SETTINGS
Undo the 3 screws holding the dip switch cover in place
and remove the cover.
HOUSE CODE
Under the cover you will
find a series of miniature
dip switches.
Select and record a random combination of ‘ON’ and
‘OFF’ positions for dip switches 1 - 8. This is your
House Code that enables all of your transmitters to
communicate with your Solar Siren.
Note:
When the Solar Siren is viewed as shown above
(Solar panel at top) the dip switches are ‘upside down’.
ALARM DURATION
This is the length of time that the alarm will sound for,
following activation. Alarm duration can be set for either
1 or 3 minutes. Set dip switch 9 ‘OFF’ for 1 minute or ‘ON’
for 3 minutes. (If accidently triggered, the alarm can be
stopped at any time using the Remote Control).
BLEEP DISABLE
The Solar Siren will acknowledge signals from the
Remote Control by bleeping. It is possible to disable
the bleeps if required by removing the jumper P2 on
the circuit board.
Once you have completed setting your House Code,
alarm duration and, if required, bleep disable, refit the
dip switch cover securely.
INITIAL POWER-UP
Connect the 9 Volt PP3 initial power battery to the clip-
on connectors. Connect the rechargeable battery to
the charging leads red to red (+) and black to black (-)
Note:
Once the batteries have been connected, the unit
will be operational and it is important that the solar
panel receives sufficient light to maintain the battery
charge. Also, the unit should not be repeatedly set into
alarm during installation/testing, as this could rapidly
drain the battery.
Hinge the front cover locating tabs over the top edge of the
back plate, push the base of the siren cover into place and
secure with the holding screw.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the rear tamper switch is
closed when you fit the siren cover to the back-plate (eg.
listen for the switch to click). If the switch does not close
this will prevent the Solar Siren from operating correctly.
If necessary, remove the siren cover again and adjust the
screw on the back-plate tamper knob to ensure the
switch closes on assembly.
The fitting of your Solar Siren is now complete and the unit
is automatically in Service Mode.
In Service Mode the Solar Siren will not acknowledge any
signal from Detectors, Personal Attack Buttons, Tamper
Switches etc. Service Mode is controlled from the Remote
Control - refer to pages 5 and 9 for details.

Detection. In order to detect any attempts to illegally
jam the radio channel used with your alarm system a
special jamming detection function is incorporated
into the Solar Siren. If this feature is selected, and the
radio channel is jammed continuously for 30 seconds,
when the system is armed, the Solar Siren will emit a
pre-alarm series of rapid bleeps for 5 seconds. If the
jamming continues for a further 10 seconds or more a
full alarm condition will occur.
The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to
permanently scan for jamming signals. However, it is
possible 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 Detect function on
permanently. To select the Jamming Detect feature
simply fit the jumper link across P1 on the Solar Siren
PCB. For further advice on the Jamming Detect
function please call our Technical Helpline.
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
One Remote Control Unit is supplied in the standard
package. However additional Remote Control Units
can be purchased separately, if required. Any
number of Remote Control Units can be used with
your system, providing they are all coded with the
system ‘House Code’.
The Remote Control Unit(s) are used to operate the
Solar Siren and to Arm and Disarm the system.
The Remote Control Unit also incorporates a personal
attack button. This sounds the alarm at any time
whether the system is armed or not. Just press ‘PANIC’
and the alarm will sound. If this is activated by
mistake you can cancel the alarm by pressing and
releasing the ‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control.
SETTING UP THE
REMOTE CONTROL
12 VOLT BATTERY
Remove the cover with
a coin and insert the
battery with the negative (-)
towards the battery spring.
HOUSE CODE
Inside you will find a row of 8 dip
switches 1 - 8. This is your House
Code. Set these switches
to the same combination of
‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ as the dip
switches in the Solar
Siren. Replace the battery
cover.
Stand within view of the Solar Siren and hold the ‘ON’
button on the Remote Control to the ‘ON’ position for
approximately 10 seconds until the Solar Siren
acknowledges the signal by emitting one long bleep
(unless Bleep Disable has been set). This operation
takes the Solar Siren out of Service mode and into
Disarmed mode.
To Arm the Solar Siren, press and release the ‘ON’
button on the Remote Control. The Solar Siren will
acknowledge the signal by bleeping once.
To Disarm the Solar Siren, press and release the ‘OFF’
button on the Remote Control. The Solar Siren will
acknowledge the signal by bleeping twice.
To test the range of the Solar Siren, press and release
the ‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control from in and
around the property and from all locations where you
plan to install the detectors, and check that the Solar
Siren acknowledges the signals by bleeping twice
each time the Remote Control is operated.
When you have finished testing the Solar Siren and
Remote Control, turn the Solar Siren to Service mode
by pressing and holding the ‘OFF’ button on the
Remote Control for approximately 10 seconds. The
Solar Siren will acknowledge the signals by bleeping
twice, followed by one long bleep, after which the
‘OFF’ button can be released.
The Solar Siren is now in Service mode.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the Solar Siren is in Service mode before
proceeding with the installation of the detectors,
otherwise a full alarm condition will be caused.

WIREFREE PASSIVE
INFRA RED MOVEMENT
DETECTORS (PlR’s)
Two Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors are supplied
in the standard package. However, additional Passive
Infra Red Movement Detectors can be purchased
separately, if required. Passive Infra Red Movement
Detectors are designed to detect movement within a
protected area. The detector element detects differences
in Infra Red radiation when a person moves within the
protected area. If movement is detected, a radio signal is
transmitted to the Solar Siren to activate the alarm.
The recommended position for a Passive Infra Red
Movement Detector is in the corner of a room mounted
between 2 and 2.5 metres from the floor. At this height,
the detector will detect movement up to 6 metres at
110° and 12 metres at 60° depending on adjustment.
Also, in this position, the 110°/60° fan-shaped detection
patterns can normally offer greater protection than
mounting on a flat wall. Before selecting a position for
a Passive Infra Red Movement Detector the following
points should be noted:
1. Do not position the detector facing a window or
direct sunlight. PIR
Movement
Detectors are not
suitable for use in conservatories or draughty areas.
2. Do not position the detector directly above any
source of heat, eg. fire, radiators, boiler etc.
3. Where possible, keep pets out of areas protected
by Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors. If this
is not possible, alternative mounting arrangements
may be required.
4. Where possible, mount the detector so that the
logical path of an intruder would cut across the fan
patterns rather than directly towards the detector.
Any number of PIR Movement Detectors can be used
with your system, providing they are all coded with the
System House Code and are within the radio range of
the Solar Siren. To install and set the PIR Movement
Detector, proceed as follows.
INSTALLING THE WIREFREE
PASSIVE INFRA RED MOVEMENT
DETECTORS (PIR’s)
1. Remove the battery cover by inserting a coin
under the cover lip and twisting open. Remove the
fixings pack.
2. Remove the screw (in the battery compartment)
holding the wall bracket to the detector.
3. Slide the bracket up and remove the wall bracket
from the detector as shown.
4. Hold the wall bracket in position and mark the
two mounting holes. (If corner mounting, drill pilot
holes in the chamfers as shown).
5. Drill two 4mm diameter holes and insert the plastic
wall plugs supplied.
6. Screw the bracket to the wall using screws
supplied.
7. Offer the detector up to the wall bracket and locate
it into one of the bracket slots to angle the detector
down slightly. Fix the detector in position on the
bracket using the fixing screw at the rear of the
battery compartment.

SETTING THE WIREFREE
PASSIVE INFRA RED MOVEMENT
DETECTORS (PIR’s)
1. Using a ball-point pen, set the miniature switches
1 - 8 to the same combination of ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’
as the dip switches in the Solar Siren.
2. Ensure that dip switch 9 is set to ‘ON’.
Ensure that dip switch 10 is set to ‘OFF’ .
3. The PIR incorporates an anti-false alarm feature
designed to compensate where the detector may
be affected by environmental changes, eg. insects,
air temperature, etc. This feature is called ‘Pulse
Count’ and may be selected for One or Two Pulse
Detection.
The recommended pulse count is One. In cases of
extreme environmental problems or if unattributable
false alarms are experienced, it may be necessary to
select Two Pulse Count Detection.
Note: The higher the Pulse Count, the more paces an
intruder will have to move before triggering the alarm.
To select the required pulse count move the switch on
the side of the detector:
UP = Two Pulse Detection
DOWN = One Pulse Detection
TESTING PASSIVE INFRA RED
MOVEMENT DETECTORS (PIR’s)
ENSURE THAT THE SOLAR SIREN IS STILL IN
SERVICE MODE.
1. Fit the 9 Volt Alkaline battery supplied to the
battery terminals but do not replace the battery
cover. After the battery has been connected for
approximately 40 seconds the PIR Movement
Detector will become active causing the LED
above the detector window to flash every time
movement is detected. Where Two Pulse Count
Detection has been selected the LED will be dim
on first detection and brighter on the second.
2. By walking into the protected area, the detector will
now be triggered each time the detector senses
movement and the LED will flash. If necessary
re-adjust the detection distance by angling the
detector up or down on its wall bracket.
3. Replace the battery cover on the detector.
Note: When the detector is fully installed ie. battery
cover is refitted; the unit will not detect movement for
approx. 40 seconds after each activation. In normal
operation, with the battery cover on, the detector LED
will not flash on movement detection.
WIREFREE MAGNETIC
CONTACT DETECTOR(S)
(OPTIONAL)
It is possible to expand your Eclipse Wirefree Solar
Alarm System and enhance your security protection
using optional Wirefree Magnetic Contact Detector(s)
to protect opening doors, windows and patio doors
etc. Any number of Magnetic Contact Detectors can
be used with your system, providing they are all coded
with the system House Code and are within radio
range of the Solar Siren.
INSTALLATION
To install the optional Magnetic Contact Detector(s),
set the House Code and fit the batteries, proceed as
follows.
ENSURE THAT THE SOLAR SIREN IS STILL IN
SERVICE MODE.
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it
off. (DO NOT use a screw driver to lever off).

Before fixing the detector to a metal door/window
check the radio range as previously described.
Under exceptional circumstances it may be
necessary to space the magnet/detector off the
metal surface using a plastic or wooden spacer to
achieve the necessary radio range.
When using the screws ensure that the small
countersunk screw is used within the battery
compartment.
Mount the Magnet to the door and the Detector to
the door frame, (or vice versa, if necessary).
Ensure that the arrows on the Magnet and
Detector are pointing towards each other and that
the gap between the Detector and the Magnet is
less than 5mm.
4. Using a ball-point pen, set the miniature switches
1-8 to the same combination of ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ as
the dip switches in the Solar Siren.
5. Ensure dip switch 9 is set to ‘ON’.
Ensure dip switch 10 is set to ‘OFF’.
6. Slide the batteries supplied into the battery holder,
ensuring that the positive (+) side is uppermost on
each battery as it is installed.
7. Carefully refit the battery holder into the Detector
ensuring that the spring connectors slide onto
either side of the circuit board.
8. Refit the battery cover by placing it over the
batteries and sliding it on.
9. Test the operation by opening the door/window. The
LED on the Detector will light for approx. 1 second
and then extinguish each time the Magnet is parted
from the Detector.

To test the optional Magnetic Contact Detectors, Arm
the system using the remote control. Open the
protected door/window and ensure that the Solar
Siren goes into Alarm Mode.
Disarm the system using the Remote Control.
Test each Magnetic Contact Detector by arming and
disarming the system and operating each detector in
turn. When you have completed testing leave the
Solar Siren in the Disarmed Mode.
You may test your system at any time. However, it is
recommended that the system is tested at regular
intervals not exceeding 3 months.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 Movement Detectors are not obstructed.
Ensure that pets are restricted to areas not protected by
Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors, or that suitable
precautions have been taken to allow for pets.
To Arm the system, press and release the ‘ON’ button on
the Remote Control, from outside the premises. Ensure
that the Solar Siren acknowledges the signal by bleeping
once. If you need to re-enter the premises, the system
must first be disarmed or a full alarm will occur.
To Disarm the system, press and release the ‘OFF’ button
on the Remote Control from outside the premises.
Ensure that the Solar Siren acknowledges the signal by
bleeping twice. Do not enter the protected premises until
the system has been disarmed or a full alarm will occur.
IMPORTANT
If, when you Disarm, the Solar Siren emits a series of TEN
rapid bleeps, this indicates that the system has been
triggered into alarm whilst it was armed. CHECK THE
SECURITY OF THE PROPERTY BEFORE ENTERING.
DISARMING AFTER AN INTRUSION
A full alarm condition will be initiated following any
intrusion. This condition will continue until expiry of the
pre-set alarm duration time (1 or 3 minutes) whereby the
siren will cease. The Solar Siren will now immediately
re-arm itself. In the event of a further intrusion the Solar
Siren will once again initiate a full alarm condition and
this process can be repeated up to three times. If a full
alarm condition is initiated accidently the alarm can be
stopped immediately by pressing and releasing the
‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control.
SYSTEM SERVICE MODE
To prevent the alarm from being activated when either
opening the Solar Siren or removing a battery cover from
a detector, it is necessary to first turn the Solar Siren to
Service mode by pressing and holding the ‘OFF’ button
on the remote control for approximately 10 seconds.
The Solar Siren will acknowledge the signal by bleeping
twice, followed by one long bleep after which the ‘OFF’
button can be released.
When you have completed your alterations to the system
turn the Solar Siren back to Disarmed Mode by pressing
and holding the ‘ON’ button on the remote control for
approximately 10 seconds until the Solar Siren
acknowledges the signal by emitting one long bleep.
PERSONAL ATTACK ALARM
A full alarm condition can be initiated by the user
at any time (system armed or disarmed) in the event of
threat or danger. To initiate a personal attack alarm press
and release the ‘PANIC’ Button on the Remote Control.
The Solar Siren will emit a full alarm sound which will
continue for the alarm duration time (1 or 3 minutes) or
until the system is reset by pressing and releasing the
‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control.
BATTERY MONITORING
The system will continuously monitor the battery
condition of all PIR Movement Detectors. If the voltage
level of any PIR battery falls below 7.5 Volts the red LED
on the detector will flash to let you know that the battery
needs to be replaced.
To identify PIR Movement Detector(s) with a low battery,
leave each protected area for a least 40 seconds. If,
when you re-enter the area, the detector LED flashes on
detection of movement, this indicates a low battery.
The batteries in the optional Magnetic Contact Detectors
can be checked by operating the detector (opening and
closing the protected door/window) and observing the
LED on the detector. If the LED is dim or does not
illuminate the batteries need to be replaced.
In the event of a detector low battery condition, turn the
Solar Siren to Service mode using the Remote Control
as previously described. When you have replaced the
Eclipse E100 9
Page 12
battery(ies) as required turn the Solar Siren back to
Disarmed Mode.
Note: When replacing PIR batteries, fit PP3 Alkaline
type. Rechargeable batteries should NOT be fitted.
MAINTENANCE
Your Wirefree Alarm System requires very little
maintenance. However, a few simple tasks will ensure its
continued reliability and operation.
SOLAR SIREN
1. At least once a year, preferably in the Autumn, the
solar panel on the top of the siren housing should be
cleaned using a soft, damp cloth. This operation will
ensure that the solar panel receives all the available
light. The cleaning operation can be combined with
the general cleaning of the outside of the house,
windows etc. to reduce maintenance time.
2. Should you, for any reason, have to completely powerdown the Solar Siren (eg. to move the system to a new
premises) turn the Solar Siren to Service mode,
disconnect the rechargeable battery and initial powerup battery and ensure that the solar panel is covered
with a light proof material to prevent it being energised.
3. 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
charging circuit. 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 240/7.5 Volt DC 100mA mains
adaptor (Response order code Solar S100TR). When
re-powering the Solar Siren fit a new 9 Volt PP3 leak
proof Alkaline initial power-up battery to ensure that
the Unit receives sufficient power until the solar panel
can recharge the main battery completely.
4. The main rechargeable battery has a typical life of 3-4
years and needs no maintenance during this period,
providing the battery is kept charged. The battery will
be damaged if it is stored in a discharged state.
The rechargeable battery should be
taken to a suitable Recycling Centre at
the end of its useful life. DO NOT
dispose of with your normal household
waste. The rechargeable battery contains Sulphuric
Acid - DO NOT attempt to open the casing.
DETECTORS & REMOTE CONTROL
The Detectors and Remote Control(s) require no
maintenance. Simply replace the batteries once a year or
when a low battery is indicated. The specifications for
the Detector and Remote Control batteries are as follows:
PIR Movement Detectors: 9 Volt PP3 Alkaline
Remote Controls: 12 Volt 23A Alkaline
Optional
Magnetic 2 x 3 Volt 230mAhr Lithium Cells
Contact Detectors: (Panasonic CR2032 or equivalent)
Please recycle used batteries where Local Authority
facilities exist. Keep batteries away from children
and do not dispose of in fire.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAY OPTION
In addition to the standard Instant alarm operation;
the Solar Siren incorporates the facility to give a 15
second Entry/Exit Delay time when used in conjunction
with the optional Wireless Security Keypad CA2000KP.
It is not possible to programme an Entry/Exit Delay
using only the Remote Control.
When armed using the optional Keypad, the Solar
Siren will give one bleep followed by a 15 second
Exit Delay; followed by one bleep. The system will
then be fully armed. If any detector is then triggered,
the system will initiate a 15 second Entry Delay. The
Solar Siren will emit one long bleep followed by a
15 second Entry time during which the system
should be disarmed via the Keypad or a Remote
Control from the system. If the system is not
disarmed a full alarm condition will occur at the end
of the 15 second Entry Delay period.
USING THE OPTIONAL SECURITY
KEYPAD:-
Full installation and operating instructions are
included with the CA2000KP optional Wirefree
Security Keypad.
