Function Overview
Alarm Memory
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 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.
Alarm Length
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 3 minutes, then stop the alarm.
For example:
- If the Panel alarm length is set more than 3 minutes, after an alarm is activated, instead of waiting panel alarm length to expire, the siren will stop alarming after 3 minutes
- If the panel is under disarm mode and the siren tamper switch is triggered, the siren will activate alarm for 3 minutes since the panel is under disarm mode and will not activate alarm from tamper trigger.
Siren Tamper
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 & strobe light for the programmed alarm period. 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 sutomatically tum the function back ON after the duration. The
tamper detection can also be enabled again manually using the Siren Tamper
function.
Audio & Visual Status Indication

distinguish various statuses for the user, as listed in the table.
