Product Support
Your Outdoor Alarm Controller 2 connects to the internet via a YoLink hub (SpeakerHub or the original YoLink Hub), 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 smartphone, and a YoLink hub is installed and online (or your location, apartment, condo, etcetera, is already served by a YoLink wireless network).
The Outdoor Alarm Controller is capable of supplying 12VDC power to devices for limited periods of time. The device must have a current draw, including momentary inrush current, less than 400 mA.

Installation
Preparing for Installation
Determine where you will install your Outdoor Alarm Controller 2 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)
Note: use of the 12VDC power adapter is optional. If not used, batteries are required. If the power adapter is used, batteries are optional.
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 structureis 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 Alarm Controllers 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 Outdoor Alarm Controller 2 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 Outdoor Alarm Controller 2
- At the desired location for the controller, confirm the cables of the twodevices 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 it per the manufacturer instructions.
- Secure the 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.
-
If using an external 12V DC power supply, connect the cable to the controller at this time. With the power source off or unplugged, connect the cable of the 12V DC power adapter or power supply to the 12V DC input of the alarm controller.
-
If applicable, turn on the 12V DC power supply or connect the power adapter to AC power at this time.
-
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 duringtesting. Consider warning your neighbors you will be testing your siren, to avoid a surprise visit from the police department!
