AJAX StreetSiren Wireless Outdoor Siren

AJAX-StreetSire-nWireless-
Outdoor-Siren-PRODUCT

StreetSiren is a wireless outdoor alerting device with a sound volume of up to 113 dB. Equipped with a bright LED frame and pre-installed battery, StreetSiren can be quickly installed, set up, and operate autonomously up to 5 years. Connecting to the Ajax security system via the secured Jeweller radio protocol, StreetSiren communicates with the hub at a distance of up to 1,500 m in line of sight. The device is set up via the Ajax apps for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. The system notices users of all events through push notications, SMS, and calls (if activated).

The Ajax security system can be connected to a central monitoring station of a security company.

Operating Principle

StreetSiren significantly improves the efficiency of the security system. With a high probability, its loud alarm signal and light indication is sufficient to attract the attention of neighbors and deter intruders. bright LED. When installed properly, it is hard to dismount and switch off the actuated siren: its body is sturdy, the metal net protects the buzzer, the power supply is autonomous, and the on/off button is locked during the alarm.
StreetSiren is equipped with a tamper button and an accelerometer. The tamper button is triggered when the device body is opened, and the accelerometer is activated when someone’s try to move or dismount the device.

Connecting

Before starting the connection:

Following the hub user guide, install the Ajax app. Create an account, add the hub, and create at least one room.
Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable and/or GSM network).
Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its status in the Ajax app.

Pairing the device with the hub:

Select Add Device in the Ajax app.
Name the device, scan or type the QR code (located on the detector body and packaging), and select the location room.
Tap Add — the countdown will start.
Switch on the device by holding the power button for 3 seconds.

For detecting and pairing to occur, the device should be located within the coverage of the wireless network of the hub (at the same protected object). The connection request is transmitted briey: at the moment of switching on the device. StreetSiren switches off automatically after failing to connect to the hub. To retry the connection, you do not need to switch it off. If the device has already been assigned to another hub, switch it off and follow the standard pairing procedure.

Setting up the processing of detector alarms

Through the Ajax app, you can configure which detector alarms can activate the siren. This can help to avoid situations when the security system notices of LeaksProtect detector alarm or any other device alarm. The parameter is adjusted in the detector or device settings:

Sign in to the Ajax app.
Go to the Devices menu.
Select the detector or device.
Go to its settings and set the necessary parameters for activating the siren.
Go to the Devices menu.
Select the hub and go to its settings .
Select the Service menu.
Go to Siren Settings.
Enable the Alert with a siren if the hub or detector lid is open option.

Setting the response to pressing the panic button in the Ajax app

The siren can respond to pressing the panic button in Ajax apps. Note that the panic button can be pressed even if the system is disarmed! For the siren to respond to pressing the panic button:

Go to the Devices menu.
Select the hub and go to its settings .
Select the Service menu.
Go to Siren Settings.
Enable the Alert with a siren if in-app panic button is pressed option.

Setting the siren after-alarm indication

The siren can inform about triggerings in armed system by means of LED indication.
The option functions as follows:

The system registers the alarm.
The siren plays an alarm (duration and volume depend on settings).
The lower right corner of the siren LED frame blinks twice (about once every 3 seconds) until the system is disarmed.

Thanks to this feature, system users and security companies patrols can understand that the alarm has occurred.

To enable the siren after-alarm indication, in Ajax PRO app

Go to siren settings:
Hub → Settings → Service → Siren Settings

Performance Testing

The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the functionality of connected devices. The tests do not start straight away but within a period of 36 seconds when using the standard settings. The test time start depends on the settings of the detector polling period (the Jeweller menu settings in hub settings).

Jeweller Signal Strength Test
Attenuation Test

Installing

If the detector has low or unstable signal strength even after moving, use a radio signal range extender. StreetSiren is protected from dust/moisture (IP54 class), which means it can be placed outdoors. The recommended installation height is 2.5 meters and higher. Such a height hinders access to the device for intruders. When installing and using the device, follow the general electrical safety rules for electrical appliances, as well as the requirements of regulatory legal acts on electrical safety.

Mounting

Before mounting StreetSiren, make sure that you have selected the optimal location and it is in compliance with the guidelines of this manual!

Fix SmartBracket to the surface with bundled screws. If using any other attaching hardware, make sure that they do not damage or deform the panel.

Maintenance

Check the operational capability of StreetSiren regularly. Clean the siren body from dust, spider web, and other contaminants as they appear. Use a soft dry napkin suitable for tech equipment.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and other active solvents to clean the detector. StreetSiren can operate up to 5 years from pre-installed batteries (with the detector ping interval of 1 minute) or approximately 5 hours of constant signaling with buzzer. When the battery is low, the security system noties the user, and the LED frame corner smoothly lights up and goes out when arming/disarming or when the alarm goes off, including dismounting or unauthorized opening.
