roof overhangs should also be avoided. Where applicable,
the Solar Siren & Strobe 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 Solar Siren & Strobe 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 & Strobe.
It is therefore important to mount the Solar Siren
& Strobe a minimum distance of 1 metre radius
away from any external or internal metalwork,
ie. external drain pipes, gutters and internal radiators,
mirrors etc.
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 backplate as a template to mark the position
of the four fixing holes on the external wall. Drill four
5mm diameter holes and insert the plastic wall plugs.
Mount the backplate using the four screws provided.
SETTINGS
Undo the three screws holding the dip switch cover in
place and remove the cover.
SIREN CODE
Under the cover you will find a series of two position
miniature dip switches.
Using a ball-point pen set the miniature dip switches
1-8 to a random sequence of ‘ON’s’ and ‘OFF’s’.
Make a note of the Siren Code dip switch settings as
this will be needed when programming the Siren
Code into the Control Unit.
DO NOT SET THE SIREN CODE TO THE HOUSE CODE
USED IN THE DETECTORS/REMOTE CONTROLS.
Note: When the Siren & Strobe is viewed as
shown below (solar panel at top) the dip switches
are ‘upside down’.
