Congratulations on purchasing your SMC Siren Zigbee Range Extender

The SMC Wireless Siren Zigbee Range Extender is a multipurpose fire and burglar alarm signaling device that performs two main functions in the SMC home-security product
lineup. It emits sound at levels greater than 85dB, loud enough to provide an audible alert and scare intruders. It also increases the range of your RB5701-Z SMA Gateway
wireless remote controls, motion sensors, and security products by boosting and retransmitting the RF sig n als it receives from those products.

where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials.

DO NOT expose the battery to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight

DO NOT subject the battery to mechanical shock.
DO NOT use any other charger other than the

one built into the SMCSR01-Z.
DO NOT use any other battery that is not

designed for use with this product.
Seek medical attention if a battery has been

swallowed.
Wipe the battery clean with a dry cloth if the

battery becomes dirty.
Test the Range Extender at least once a week:

A. Disconnect the Range Extender from the

mains electrical power source, so the Range
Extender is running in battery mode.

B. After 24 hours in standby mode, perform an

alarm system test. The Range Extender
should sound for 4 minutes before shutting
off. If it does not remain in standby mode for
24 hour or does not sound for the full 4
minutes after 24 hour standby, the battery
must be replaced.

Device Precautions

Proper device operation depends on proper
installation, usage, and maintenance of the
device.

The North American model (SMCSR01-Z) has
provisions to secure the Range Extender to an
electrical outlet using the electrical mounting
tab inherent in the design of this model.

Canadian regulations and safety standards forbid
the use of such device. The Canadian model
(SMCSR01-Z CA) does not have the electrical
outlet mounting tab necessary to secure the
device to an electrical wall outlet. If you
received a device that has an electrical outlet
mounting tab and this product is to be used in
Canada, please contact the distributor or retail
location where this device was purchased and
obtain the Canadian model (SMCSR01-Z CA).

The battery is a lithium rechargeable battery. Do
not drop, crush, incinerate, or damage in any
form.

Note: DO NOT CONNECT TO A RECEPTACLE

CONTROLLED BY A SWITCH.

This system must be tested by a qualified
technician at least once every three (3) years.

Install the system in accordance with Chapter 2
of the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72,
(National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.)

Return the device to an authorized distributor or
to SMC Networks Inc., 20 Mason, Irvine, CA 92618
for servicing or repair in case of malfunction.

7 Selecting a Location

The Range Extender lets you extend the range of
your home security system to accommodate
longer distances and broaden your security
coverage. As a result, select a location that has
average signal strength and resides between the
TouchScreen and the furthest sensor, such as a
gameroom or bedroom, to boost the wireless
signal strength for sensors located furthest from
the TouchScreen.

The number, thickness, and location of walls,
ceilings and other objects that the signals must
pass through may limit the range of the Range
Extender. Typical ranges vary, depending on the
types of materials and background radio
frequency (RF) noises in your home or business.

To maximize your range:

¾ Keep the number of walls and ceilings

between the TouchScreen and the Range
Extender to a minimum.

¾ Position a direct line between the key pad

and the Range Extender, so the signal will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling.

¾ Consider angles when placing the Range

Extender, For example, a wall that is 1.5
feet thick (.5 meters) at a 45°angle appears
to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick; however,
at a 2°angle, it looks over 42 feet (14
meters) thick.

¾ Position the Range Extender to receive the

wireless signal through drywall or open
doorways and not other materials. Building
materials such as a solid metal door or metal
studs can impede the wireless signal and may
have a negative effect on the wireless range.
When it is necessary to work with these
limitations, more SMC Wireless Siren Zigbee
Range Extenders can be used to improve
signal strength for the whole premise.

their own radio signals, such as wireless
routers and access points.

Other locations where the Range Extender can
be placed include:

• Centrally Located Areas

• Family Rooms

• Living Rooms

• Game Rooms

• Bedrooms of children that are hard to

wake in the event of fire

8 Preparing the Siren

C. Use a Phillips #1 (PH1) screwdriver to remove

the screw securing the battery cover and
remove the cover and set the cover and
screw aside. The device battery is inside.

¾ Keep the Range Extender at least 3-to-6 feet

(1-to-2 meters) away from electrical devices

or appliances that generate extreme RF
noise.

¾ Keep the Range Extender at least 3-to-6 feet

(1-to-2 meters) away from devices that emit
