In addition to the Siren itself, the following accessories are also included in the package:
a. 3 x large wall plugs.
b. 3 x fixing screws for wall mounting
c. 2 x 1.5V D alkaline batteries (pre-inserted)

Battery and Low Battery Detection

The Siren is powered by two 1.5V Alkaline D batteries, it features low battery detection and will transmit low battery signal when low battery voltage is detected.
When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch a couple of times to fully discharge before inserting new batteries.
Only use specified batteries with the device. When replacing batteries, always replace the whole set, do not mix different types of batteries or new and used ones to avoid damaging the device.

Supervision

The Siren will transmit a supervisory signal every 30-50 minutes in normal operation mode. If this signal is not received, the Control Panel will indicate that the particular Siren is experiencing an out-of-order problem.

Siren Function Overview

Audio & Visual Status Indication
While arming/disarming the system, the SR-32 uses different methods to distinguish various statuses for the user, as listed in the table.

| Siren Audio
---|---
Arm/Home| 1 beep
Disarm| 2 beeps
Arm (Low Battery)| 3 beeps
Disarm (Low Battery)| 3 beeps
Arm (Tamper)| 5 beeps
Disarm (Tamper)| 5 beeps
Entry/Exit Sound| Count-down beeps

• The Siren Audio indication will be affected by the Confirmation ON / OFF setting. When setting Confirmation to OFF, the confirmation sound will not be available. Refer to Control Panel Siren setting for Confirmation function.
  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 or home armed 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 the alarm.
  If the Siren does not receive the Control Panel’s signal to stop the alarm, it will sound alarm for a maximum of 15 minutes, then stop the alarm.

For example:

• If the Panel alarm length is set more than 15 minutes, after an alarm is activated, instead of waiting for the panel alarm length to expire, the Siren will stop alarming after 15 minutes.
• If the panel is under disarm mode and the Siren’s tamper switch is triggered, the Siren will activate the alarm for 15 minutes since the panel is under disarm mode and will not activate the alarm from the 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. 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 the Siren Tamper control function. The Siren will stop tamper detection temporarily for one hour. This function is mainly designed for replacing batteries or changing Siren installation locations. After one hour, The Control Panel will automatically turn the function back ON after the duration. The tamper detection can also be enabled again manually using the Siren Tamper function.

Getting Started

Learning
Step 1: Release the bottom screw of the Siren using a Phillips screwdriver and remove the top cover.
Step 2: Put the Control Panel into learning mode (refer to Control Panel’s user manual for details).
Step 3: Slide the battery switch to the ON position to power on the Siren. The buzzer will emit 1 beep.
Step 4: Press the Learn button once. The Siren will emit a short beep. The Siren is now in learning mode and will transmit a learning code to the Control Panel.
Step 5: If the Control Panel did not receive a learning code, press the learn button again (the Siren will not sound a beep this time).
Step 6: If the Control Panel receives the learning code, it will list the device information accordingly, follow Control Panel manual instruction to complete the learning procedure. An acknowledgment will be sent to the Siren. When the acknowledgment is received, the Siren will sound five beeps to indicate that the learning process is successful. The Siren will then leave learning mode.
Step 7: Refer to the Control Panel manual and use the Edit Device function to check Siren settings. You can edit the operation area, zone number, and device name for the Siren.
If the learning process fails, please remove the Siren from the Control Panel and repeat Steps 4-7 again.
**** If the Siren does not receive the confirmation code from the Control Panel within one minute, the Siren will leave learning mode. Restart the learning process from Step 4.

Installation

Proceed to the installation after complete learning.
Step 1. Disable the Siren Tamper function on the Control Panel (please refer to the Control Panel instruction manual). The Siren will sound a beep to indicate the tamper switch is now disabled.
The siren tamper can be turned off temporarily for 1 hour, refer to the Control Panel instruction manual for further setup. The siren tamper will be turned on automatically after 1 hour in case users forget to turn it on.
Step 2. Find the location where the Siren is to be mounted.
Step 3. Remove the Top cover by releasing the bottom screw using a Phillips screwdriver and removing the top cover.
Step 4. Hold the Siren at the position where it will be mounted.
Step 5. Check whether BX has a strong enough signal with the Control Panel by putting the Control Panel into Walk Test mode (please refer to
Control Panel manual). Press the Learn Button to check whether the signal is strong enough (please refer to the Control Panel manual for signal strength).
Step 6. If you are satisfied with the signal strength, you can proceed to mount the Siren.
Step 7. Identify the upside-down keyhole mounting hole located at the upper part of the Siren. The hole is larger than the slot, which allows you to easily slip the hole over the head of the screw and then slide down to securely hold the Siren against the wall. Drill one hole and insert one wall plug if required (a), as shown in Figure 1.
Step 8. Identify the two mounting holes at the lower part of the Siren. Drill two holes and insert wall plugs if required (b), as shown in Figure 1. Make sure the wall plugs are flush with the wall.

Step 9. Secure the screw using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure the Tamper Switch is fully depressed against the wall  The tamper switch protrudes through the back of the unit. When the siren is pulled off from the wall, the alarm will be activated. Ensure it is fully depressed when the siren is mounted.
Step 10. Replace the Top cover and tighten the bottom screw using a Phillips screwdriver, as shown below.

Step 11. Enable Siren Tamper function on the Control Panel (Please refer to the Control Panel instruction manual)
Step 12. Check if the installation is successful by testing from the Control Panel by arming and disarming function.
Successful arming/disarming is indicated by the table provided in Audio & Visual Status Indication.
If 5 short-beeps are noticed while arming/disarming, it means the tamper is not fully depressed. Check to ensure that tamper is properly set and then test from Control Panel again.
Step 13. The installation is now completed.

Changing the Battery
Step 1: Disable the Siren Tamper function on the Control Panel. The Siren will sound a beep to indicate the tamper switch is now disabled.
