SMC Wireless Siren ZigBee Range Extender Guide
Congratulations on purchasing your SMC ZigBee Siren Repeater
The SMC ZigBee Wireless Siren Repeater 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 Homes Security and
Automation Gateway wireless remote controls, motion sensors, and security products by boosting and retransmitting the RF signals it receives from those products.

6 Precautionary Statements
Battery Precautions
DO NOT dismantle, open, or shred the battery.
The battery should be dismantled only by trained
personnel.
DO NOT short-circuit the battery. DO NOT store
the battery haphazardly in a box or drawer
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 Siren Repeater at least once a week:
A. Disconnect the Siren Repeater from the
mains electrical power source, so the Siren
Repeater is running in battery mode.
B. After 24 hours in standby mode, perform an
alarm system test. The Siren Repeater 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 Siren Repeater 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 Siren Repeater 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:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings
between the Touchscreen and the Siren
Repeater to a minimum.
Position a direct line between the key pad
and the Range Extender, so the signal will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling.
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.
Position the Siren Repeater 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 Siren Repeater 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
A. Use a Phillips #1 (PH1) screwdriver to remove
and set aside the screw securing the battery
cover. Next remove and set aside the cover.
The device battery is inside.

Keep the Siren Repeater at least 3-to-6 feet
(1-to-2 meters) away from electrical devices
or appliances that generate extreme RF
noise.
