Magnetic Contact Detectors
When the detector is activated, under low-battery
conditions the transmit LED will be illuminated
for approximately 1 second as the door/window
is opened.
Under normal battery conditions the LED does
not illuminate as the detector is operated, (unless
the detector is in Test Mode with the battery cover
removed).
MAINTENANCE
Your Alarm System requires very little maintenance.
However, a few simple tasks will ensure its continued
reliability and operation.
IMPORTANT: Should you, for any reason, have to
completely power-down the system (e.g. to move the
system to a new premises) first put the system into
Service Mode before removing the Solar Siren cover
and disconnecting the main rechargeable and initial
power-up batteries. Ensure that the solar panel is
covered with a light proof material to prevent it being
energised.
SOLAR SIREN
1. It is recommended that the Solar Panel on the top of
the siren housing should be cleaned at least twice a
year, preferably in the Spring and Autumn, using a
soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive, solvent
based or aerosol cleaners. Do not attempt to clean
inside the unit or allow water to enter the unit.
This will ensure that the Solar Panel does not
become affected by the build up of excessive dirt
and receives all the available light.
2. The Solar Siren should not be left for long periods
with the batteries connected, unless the unit is
able to receive sufficient light to maintain the
battery charge. Failure to maintain charge to the
unit will result in the rechargeable battery running
unacceptably low. Should this occur, the unit
must be recharged from a 7.5Vdc/100mA supply
(e.g. from a mains adaptor power supply). When
re-powering the Solar Siren fit a new 9V PP3 leak
proof Alkaline power-up battery to ensure that the
Unit receives sufficient power until the solar panel
can recharge the main battery.
3. The main rechargeable battery has a typical life
of 3-4 years and needs no maintenance during
this period, provided the battery is kept charged.
The battery will be damaged if it is stored in a
discharged state for long periods.
Note: Before removing the Solar Siren from the wall in
order to replace the batteries or for any other reason
ensure that the Siren is first switched into Service
Mode to prevent the Tamper protection switch
operating and triggering an alarm, (see page 17).
Important: After changing the batteries and refitting
in position, the Solar Siren must be switched back into
normal Operating Mode, otherwise the Siren will not
sound in the event of an alarm condition.
DETECTORS, REMOTE CONTROL
AND KEYPAD
The detectors require very little maintenance. The
batteries should be replaced once a year or when a
low battery status is indicated.
BATTERIES
Note: Before removing the battery cover on any
device to replace the battery ensure that the Siren is
switched into Service Mode to avoid initiating a Full
Alarm condition.
The specifications for replacement batteries are as
follows:
Remote Controls: 1 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cells
(or equivalent)
Magnetic Contact 2 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cells
Detectors: (or equivalent)
PIR Movement 1 x 9V PP3 Alkaline
Detectors:
Keypad: 1 x 9V PP3 Alkaline
Note: Where applicable only fit PP3 Alkaline type
batteries. Rechargeable batteries should NOT be fitted.
At the end of their useful life the
batteries should be disposed of via a
suitable Recycling Centre. Do not
dispose of with your normal
household waste. DO NOT BURN.
The Rechargeable Batteries contain Sulphuric Acid –
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE CASING.
