Alarm System

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withdrawn from use at any time subject to the DTI giving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.

Note: The Solar Panel does not have to be

mounted in direct sunlight, but does require a
minimum of two hours of daylight each day.
