RF 2-Way Siren/Relay
Document Number: 466-1952 Rev.A PRELIMINARY

ITI Part No. 60-xxx
Installation Instructions
Product Summary
The RF 2-Way Siren is a supervised device that transmits
supervisory signals for the panel to receive. When the battery is low, the module transmits a low battery signal.
Note
The RF 2-Way Siren does not have a backup power supply. Therefore, the batterymustbe replacedimmediately
when a low battery condition occurs. If the battery is
allowedto completelydrain, the panel identifies the RF 2WaySirenas being in a supervisory (non-working) state,
which prevents system events from being reported.
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing the RF 2-Way
Siren:
↕ Before permanently m ounting to a wall, test the RF 2-
Way Siren from the desired location to ensure communication to and from the panel. T his means you must
first add (learn) the RF 2-Way Siren into panel memory. Then perform a sensor test.
↕ Mount the module within 100 feet of the panel, but not
closer than 10 feet to another RF 2-Way Siren or the
panel.
↕ Always mount the RF 2-Way Siren in the upright verti-
cal position.
4. Exit Program mode.
Testing
This section describes the basic steps for testing transmitting reange from the RF 2-Way Siren to the panel. For complete testing instructions, see the panel installation
instructions.
Note
Be sure to attachthe cover to the RF 2-Way Siren before
testing communications.
1. Straighten the antenna to a vertical position.
2. Place the RF 2-Way Siren in the desired location.
3. Enter sensor test mode on the panel
4. Press Test button on siren.
5. Listen for the panel piezo to sound 7 - 8 beeps. This
indicates good reception from the siren to the panel.
6. If you hear fewer than 7 beeps, test the siren in different
locations. Mounting locations should be limited to
areas where the panel re sponds with 7 - 8 beeps.
7. To re-test transmitting range a fter relocating the siren,
press the Test button again a nd listen for 7 - 8 beeps.
8. Exit from the test mode after determiningacceptable
locations.
Tools and Supplies

Programming
This section describesthe steps for adding (learning) the RF
2-Way Siren into panel memory.
1. With the system disarmed, enter program mode by
pressing
2. Press twice and twice. The display shows

Mounting and Antenna Positioning
After finding an acceptable mounting location (based on
testing), mount the RF 2-Way Siren and position the
antenna as described below. The antenna can be inserted
into a wall or positioned upright inside the antenna housing.
Note
For best range, it is recommended that the antenna be
inserted into the wall.
Mounting with Antenna in Wall
WARNING: Youmustbefreeofallstatic
electricity when handling electronic components.Toucha bare metal surfaceor wear a
grounding strap before touching the circuit.
1. Remove the circuit board from the plastic housing by
pushing up on the tab and pulling the board outward
(see Figure x). Place the board in the cover.
2. Mark themountingholes and the antennainsertion hole
(see Figure x).

3. Make a hole in the wall at the antenna insertion hole
and mounting hole marks.
4. Insert wall a nchors where necessary, then use two #6
screws to secure the plastic housing to the wall.
5. Insert the antenna into the antenna insertion hole and
re-installthe board onto the plastic base. Insert the bottom first, then push in at the top until it snaps in under
the tab.
6. Install the protective dust cap (included in accessory
packet) in the hole located on the top-right of the RF 2Way Siren’s plastic housing.
Mounting with Antenna Hou sing
1. Hold the RF 2-WaySiren a gainst the wall and mark the
mounting holes (see Figure x). Be sure to leave at least
4 inches above the siren for the antenna housing.
2. Make a hole in the wall at the mounting hole marks.
3. Slide the antenna housing over the antenna and snap
the housing into the upper-right hole (see Figure x).
4. Insert wall a nchors where necessary, then use two #6
screws to s ecure the siren module to the wall through
the mounting holes.
5. Re-installthe board onto the plastic base. Insert the
bottom first, then push in at the top until it snaps in
under the tab.
If necessary, test the siren from other locations until a n
acceptable location is found.

Troubleshooting
No System Response
If the systemdoesnot re spond in sensor test (as describedin
the panel installationinstructions), try the following:
↕ Change the antenna position.Be st range is achieved by
inserting the antenna into the wall.
↕ Check that the RF 2-Way Siren batteries is installed.
↕ Check the RF 2-Way Siren batteries for low voltage.
replace the batteries if necessary.
↕ Use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verifythat the RF 2-Way
Siren is transmitting.
↕ Verify that the RF 2-Way Siren was added (learned)
into panel memory correctly.
Trouble Condition
↕ The tamper switch may have been tripped. Check that
the cover is securely in place.
↕ The RF 2-Way Siren batteries may be low. Check the
batteries and replace if necessary.
Module Supervisory
↕ If the panel indicates a RF 2-Way Siren supervisory
condition, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that the
siren transmits when the tamper switch is pressed. If it
does not transmit, check the batteries and replace them
if necessary.
↕ If the sniffer indicates that the RF 2-Way Siren is trans-
mitting,it may be out of panel receiving range. Use the
sensor test to verify that the siren is within panel range.
