Wireless Indoor Siren (SR-32 / SR-32-F1)
The Indoor Siren is used to attract attention when alarm signal is received from Control Panel by activating its siren. The Siren can also alert you to tamper violation, and low battery status.
1. Tamper Switch
The Tamper switch will be activated when the Siren is removed from mounted surface, or when its cover opened.
2. Battery Compartment
The Siren is powered by two 1.5V D-Cell alkaline batteries.
3. Battery Switch
The battery switch is used when battery is installed in the Indoor Siren. To power on/off the Indoor Siren, switch the ON/OFF switch.
4. Mounting Holes x 3
5. Learn Button
Accessories included
In addition to the Siren itself, the following accessories are also included in the package:
3 x large wall plugs.
3 x fixing screws for wall mounting
2 x 1.5V D alkaline batteries (pre-inserted)
The Siren is powered by two 1.5V Alkaline D batteries, it features low battery detection and will transmit low battery signal when low battery voltage is detected.
When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch a couple times to fully discharge before inserting new batteries.
<NOTE>
Only use specified batteries with the device. When replacing batteries, always replace the whole set, do not mix different types of batteries or new and used ones to avoid damaging the device.
Supervision
The Siren will transmit a supervisory signal every 30-50 minutes in normal operation mode. If this signal is not received, the Control Panel will indicate that the particular Siren is experiencing an out-of-order problem.
While arming / disarming the system, the SR-32 uses different methods to distinguish various statuses for the user, as listed in the table.
* The Siren Audio indication will be affected by the Confirmation ON / OFF setting. When setting Confirmation to OFF, the confirmation sound will not be available. Refer to Control Panel Siren setting for Confirmation function.
If an alarm was triggered in your absence and the system was not disarmed before alarm length expiry, the Siren will sound a short alarm when the system is disarmed or home armed to warn the user that an alarm has been triggered when he is away. This suggests that the intruder could still be within the premises.
When an alarm is activated by Control Panel, the Control Panel will notify the Siren to start alarming according to the panel’s own alarm length setting. When the Panel’s alarm length expires, it will notify the Siren to stop alarm.
If the Siren does not receive the Control Panel’s signal to stop alarm, it will sound alarm for a maximum of 15 minutes, then stop the alarm.
For example:
If the Panel alarm length is set more than 15 minutes, after an alarm is activated, instead of waiting panel alarm length to expire, the Siren will stop alarming after 15 minutes.
If the panel is under disarm mode and the Siren` tamper switch is triggered, the Siren will activate alarm for 15 minutes since the panel is under disarm mode and will not activate alarm from tamper trigger.
The Siren is protected against any attempt to open the lid or to detach the Siren from its mounting surface.
If the Siren detects a tamper condition, it will activate the siren. A tamper signal will be sent to the Control Panel along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly. If the tamper condition persists, the Siren will sound a series of five beeps either every time the system is armed or when the tamper is enabled, to indicate a fault.
Tamper feature can be disabled temporaily from the Control Panel using Siren Tamper control function. The Siren will stop tamper detection temporarity for one hour. This function is mainly designed for replacing battery or changing Siren installation location. After one hour, The Control Panel will automatically turn the function back ON after the duration. The tamper detection can also be enabled again manually using the Siren Tamper function.
Step 1: Release the bottom screw of the Siren using a Phillips screwdriver and remove the top cover.
Step 2: Put the Control Panel into learning mode (refer to Control Panel’s user manual for details).
Step 3: Slide the battery switch to ON position to power on the Siren. The buzzer will emit 1 beep.
Step 4: Press the Learn button once. The Siren will emit a short beep. The Siren is now in learning mode and will transmit a learning code to the Control Panel.
Step 5: If the Control Panel did not receive a learning code, press the learn button again (the Siren will not sound a beep this time).
Step 6: If the Control Panel receives the learning code, it will list the device information accordingly, follow Control Panel manual instruction to complete the learning procedure. An acknowledgement will be sent to the Siren. When the acknowledgment is received, the Siren will sound five beeps to indicate that learning process is successful. The Siren will then leave learning mode.
Step 7: Refer to the Control Panel manual and use Edit Device function to check Siren settings. You can edit the operation area, zone number, and device name for the Siren.
<NOTE>
If the learning process fails, please remove the Siren from the Control Panel and repeat Steps 4-7 again.
If the Siren does not receive the confirm code from the Control Panel within one minute, the Siren will leave learning mode. Restart learning process from Step 4.
