3 Installation
Installation of a siren / strobe unit is a five-step procedure.
• Step 1
: Select and mark the location on the outside wall of the building to be secured,
where the siren / strobe unit is to be installed. The siren / strobe unit should be installed
in a relatively sheltered spot – for example, under an overhanging roof – in order to
protect it from rain, hail, etc. It should be installed high enough to be out of reach
without a ladder, to discourage tampering. Ensure that the siren / strobe unit is clearly
visible from the main road outside the building to be secured (i.e. not obstructed by tree
branches, etc.). Open the cover and perform a visual inspection to ensure that all of the
components listed in Section 2.1 above are present and in good order.
• Step 2
: Enroll the siren / strobe unit to this security system according to Section 4
below.
• Step 3
: Temporarily mount the siren / strobe unit on an outside wall of the building to be
secured and perform Place Test according to Section 5 below, to check for sufficient
signal level. It is recommended to use an adhesive compound or double side adhesive
tape for temporary mounting.
• Step 4
: Mount the unit on an outside wall of the building to be secured, as follows: Using
four screws, attach the unit base to the wall in the marked location as shown in Figure 1
below. When the unit base is in place, attach the cover. Ensure that the strobe
discharge tube can be seen through the red section in the cover.
• Step 5
: Test the unit for proper operation as follows:
1. To test the fire alarm, move the reed switch on the smoke detector. Ensure that the
siren sounds in the ANSI S3.41 Temporal Pattern required by the United States National
Fire Alarm Code: 0.5 sec "on", 0.5 sec "off", 0.5 sec "on", 0.5 sec "off", 0.5 sec "on", 1.5
sec "off". Ensure that the strobe flashes every 0.5 sec.
2. To test the burglary alarm, arm the system and open an outside door or window.
Ensure that the siren sounds in the pattern defined for burglary alarms. Ensure that the
strobe flashes every 0.5 sec.
