Your X3 Alarm Controller connects to the internet via one of our hubs
(original YoLink Hub or the SpeakerHub), and it does not connect directly to
your WiFi or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the
app, and for full-functionality, a hub is required. This guide assumes the
YoLink app has been installed on your phone, and a YoLink Hub or SpeakerHub is
installed and online.
If installing the X3 Alarm Controller and Siren Horn outdoors, please refer to
the environmental range information in the specifications found on the X3 Alarm
Controller product support page. While this product can be installed outdoors,
to ensure years of trouble-free operation, it should be protected from rain
and direct sunlight by an enclosure or overhead cover.

Installation
Preparing for Installation
Determine where you will install your X3 Alarm Controller and Siren.
Typically, they will be mounted together, no farther apart from each other
than the cables allow. (Extension cables are available, allowing for locating
the siren remotely from the controller).
Determine how you will mount the controller and siren, and have appropriate
mounting hardware (screws, anchors, etc.) and a means of installing them in
the wall or mounting surface on hand.
It is important to securely mount the Outdoor Alarm Controller and the Siren
to the wall or mounting surface, to ensure they do not later fall down.
Physical damage to the device is not covered by the warranty.
Consider if the controller or siren will be subjected to tampering or
vandalism. Mounting them higher on the wall may deter tampering.
Also, consider minimum mounting heights. As the siren is very loud, you should
avoid locating it near head height or at locations where people may be present
when it activates. Hearing can be damaged by high decibel sounds, such as the
siren produces.
While the controller and siren are designed for outdoor use, as with any
electronic or similar device, protecting it from direct intense sunlight and
from rain or snow with overhead cover, can extend its life and protect it from
issues like fading colors or dry and brittle cables or plastic. Just under the
eaves of a roof or under an overhanging structure is an ideal location for
this product.
Pro tip: like the professional installers may do, you can consider installing
your siren in the attic, if applicable. A location in the attic may allow for
sound to be carried both inside the home as well as outside (depending on
siren proximity to eaves or gable vents and the construction characteristics
of your home).
You may consider testing the siren at the proposed location before permanently
installing it, checking that the sound carries as far as desired.
Additional X3 Alarm Controller and Sirens can be added to your system, and may
be required for larger homes or buildings, and larger yards or locations with
sound obstructions and/or high ambient sound levels.
If you are using the X3 Alarm Controller with a 12V DC device other than the
included siren, such as a strobe or relay, please note the following:
- The device must be 12V DC, not AC, not less or more than 12 volts.
- The device current draw and inrush current must be under 400 milliamps.
- Correct polarity must be observed.
- Do not attempt to power the device for extended periods, as this will quickly drain the battery.
- Consider using the controller to power a low-current 12VDC relay or mechanically-latching relay, with the load being powered by a separate power source.
- If splicing the cable to another cable or device, use care to not damage the antenna wire, which is attached to the controller cable!
Install the Siren
- Holding the siren at the desired location, transfer the location of the three mounting holes to the wall or mounting surface, using a marker or similar means.
- If you are using wall anchors, install them per the manufacturer instructions (this may require a drill and appropriate drill bit).
- Secure the siren base to the wall or mounting surface, with three screws. Check that it is securely-mounted, by gently tugging on it.
- You can adjust the desired up/down tilt of the siren at this time or during testing.
Install the X3 Alarm Controller
- At the desired location for the controller, confirm the cables of the two devices will reach each other. Holding the controller at the desired location, mark the location of the mounting holes to the wall or mounting surface, using a marker or similar means.
- If you are using wall anchors, install per the manufacturer instructions.
- Secure the X3 Alarm Controller to the wall or mounting surface with a screw, as shown.
Final Connections & Testing
- Connect the cable of the controller to the cable of the siren. Ensure the arrow of the cable connector aligns with the arrow of the other cable connector. Twist the collar of the connector tight.
- Test the siren by pressing the SET button on the controller. The siren should activate. Press the SET button again to silence the siren.
Protect your ears and those of others that may be close to the siren during
testing. Consider warning your neighbors you will be testing your siren, to
avoid a surprise visit from the police department!
Refer to the full installation and user guide to complete the setup of your X3
Alarm Controller and Siren.
