11. Install Siren
Before You Begin
Install the ISEC-WL-SIREN in either of two ways:
 AC with batteries as backup if AC lost
 Batteries only ("mount anywhere")
The unit is shipped from the factory with the
120VAC wall outlet prongs installed (see "AC
With Battery Backup" instructions, below).
To power the siren with batteries only, thus in-
creasing the number of possible installation loca-
tions, skip to the section "Batteries Only ('Mount
Anywhere')" . Use the template (page 75 or
77) appropriate for the installation. We recom-
mend the unit be oriented as shown in the ac-
companying image; however, the unit can be
installed upside down if needed. Warning:
When installing outdoors, locate in shaded areas only, never in
direct sun (extreme temperatures affect battery life). In addition,
do not mount upside down; for outdoor locations the weep hole
must be located at the bottom of the unit to allow any condensed
water to drip out.
The siren will "learn" AC presence upon first power up; this
means that an AC Power Failure trouble will only be reported if
the siren is powered by AC and then AC power is lost or if the
siren is removed from the wall power socket. In addition, if the
siren is powered by AC and the batteries are low (or not in-
stalled), a low battery trouble will be reported. Four 'C'-size bat-
teries (not included) must always be installed (we recommend
using Duracell alkaline; never use less than 4 fresh batteries).
Protection against tamper is provided by a Tamper Magnet; for
wall outlet installations, install this Tamper Magnet with the pro-
vided double-sided tape and NOT the screws (DO NOT use
screws near electrical wiring that runs inside walls). We recom-
mend the use of ear protection should the
siren activate inadvertently. The siren will
"learn" the presence of the tamper mag-
net the first time the presence of the mag-
net is detected; subsequent removal of
the magnet will trigger a tamper trouble.
AC With Battery Backup
For AC installations, be sure to select an
un-switched 120VAC wall outlet and
ALWAYS install the required four 'C'-
size batteries (not included) that provide
power if AC power fails.
1. Place a template (see page 75 or
77) over the 120VAC wall outlet
socket, carefully aligning the tem-
plate with the "Center Line of Wall
Socket".
2. Mark the location of the
Tamper Magnet.
3. Use the supplied double-
backed tape to secure the
Tamper Magnet to the
wall (do NOT use any
screws near electrical wir-
ing that runs inside walls).
4. At the wall outlet, remove
the wall cover plate screw (only the screw; keep the cover
plate in place). For wall outlets without a center cover plate
screw, use the provided bracket and the template on page
77.
5. Plug the unit into the wall outlet, being certain the siren
housing is placed over the Tamper Magnet. The unit pow-
ers up*.
6. Secure siren to wall outlet by using the supplied screw (part
#SC206LF) to replace the wall cover plate screw removed
previously. Insert this new screw into the Screw Hole Tab
shown on the page 75 template (or the page 77 template
used for outlets without a center cover plate screw).
7. Install the Finisher Plate to conceal the Tamper Magnet (see
Fig. 2).
Batteries Only ('Mount Anywhere')
1. Place the template over the mounting surface. Use a level
to be sure the template is parallel with the floor. WARNING:
Select a location that will ensure that screws are NOT used
near electrical wiring that runs inside walls.
2. Mark the 2 holes for the Tamper Magnet.
3. Mark the 1 hole for the Slide Screw.
4. Heeding the WARNING noted in step 1, above, secure the
Tamper Magnet to the wall using the two screws provid-
ed (part #SC596, #6 x ¾" self-tapping, Phillips flat head, U-
cut, steel zinc, Type A).
5. Screw in the provided Slide
Screw fully into the wall,
then back the screw out 1
turn (part #SC265, #6 x ½"
self-tapping, Phillips pan
head, steel zinc, Type A).
6. On the back of the unit, re-
move the four (4) screws
that secure the rear housing
and pull off the rear housing
(see Fig. 1).
7. Remove the two screws that
secure the Wall Outlet PCB
(see Fig. 3). Unplug the
Wall Outlet PCB and place
into the supplied anti-static
bag/sheet for possible future
use.
8. On the inside rear housing,
insert the Rubber Gasket
that covers the slots for the
Wall Outlet PCB prongs
(see Fig. 4).
9. Install batteries (observing polarity) and the unit powers up*.
10. Replace the rear housing; secure with the four (4) screws.
11. Secure unit to the wall by using a screw (appropriate for the
mounting surface) inserted into the Screw Hole Tab shown
on the templates.
12. Install the Finisher Plate to conceal the Tamper Magnet (see
Fig. 2).
Note: In areas where power outages are common, we recom-
mend a 5 minute sounder cutoff to maximize battery life.
*Every time the siren is powered from an unpowered state, the unit ignores the tamper function until after the siren is placed over the tamper magnet. Subsequently, when the normally-closed tamper
circuit opens (magnet removed), the siren reports a tamper trouble to the Go-Anywhere Hub. In addition, pressing the keypad RESET button sends an updated status from the ISEC-WL-SIREN to the
Go-Anywhere Smart Hub.
