Product description:

The outdoor siren FAS 100 features an IP56 protection class and, in case of alarms, alerts you by activating the siren and a stroboscope. The outdoor siren can also alert in case of tampering, low battery, or radio communication interferences.

1. Mounting hole

2. Fastening screw for LED cover

3. Mains adapter input

To connect a 9V 1A mains adapter (not included) to operate the siren without batteries.

1. Power switch

The outdoor siren can be operated with four batteries or alternatively a 9 V mains adapter.

The switch can be set to three positions:

- BT4: If you want to operate the outdoor siren with batteries, set the switch to BT4.

If an additional 9 V mains adapter is connected, the siren uses the power from the mains adapter and the batteries only in exceptional cases as redundant power supply.

- Off: Power supply by batteries is deactivated. Use a 9 V power supply unit to continue to operate the outdoor siren.

• BT2: Do not use this setting (reserved)!

1. LED group 3

2. LED group 2

3. LED group 1

4. Learn button

5. Battery compartment

6. Tamper contact

Scope of delivery:

• Outdoor siren FAS 100
- 4 x wall plugs
• 4 x 4 mm x 30 mm Phillips head screws
- 4 x 1.5 V D alkaline batteries (already installed in housing)

Working environment:

$$ - 1 0 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} - 4 5 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} (1 4 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{F} - 1 1 3 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{F}) $$

1. Open the outdoor siren FAS 100 by unscrewing the screws on the bottom.
2. Unscrew both screws of the LED cover and remove the cover.
3. Supply the outdoor siren with power (see power supply descriptions above).
4. Open the web interface of the alarm panel and go to the menu "Sensors" → "Add" and press "Start."
5. Press the learn button in the siren. The outdoor siren FAS 100 confirms this with a brief audio signal and the LEDs 1 and 3 illuminate.
6. Add the outdoor siren FAS 100 to the alarm panel.

Range test:

To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.

1. Open the alarm panel menu "Sensors" → "Range" and press "Start".
2. Press the Learn button of the outdoor siren.
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the indicated number the better the reception (1–9).
4. Click "Stop" to end the test.

Please note:

If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.

Connecting the outdoor siren to the mains adapter:

1. Drill a hole (see figure on the right) through the foot of the outdoor siren to connect the power cables of the power input.
2. Loosen the screws of the power input.
3. Insert the cable of the mains adapter through the drilled hole on the back and connect it to the power input (3). It is important to connect the dashed + wire of the mains adapter to the lower + input of the power input and the - wire to the upper input.
4. Tighten the screws of the DC power input.
5. Plug the mains adapter into a socket.

Installation of the outdoor siren:

1. It is recommended to deactivate the siren during the mounting/installation (remove power supply).
2. Fasten the outdoor siren FAS 100 to a wall using the provided screws.
3. The tamper contact protrudes from the siren's housing. If the siren is removed from the wall, it triggers the audio alarm of the siren. If there are notches (roughcast etc.) on your wall, make sure that the tamper contact is pressed during the installation and insert something between tamper contact and wall if necessary.
4. Reestablish the power supply.
5. Retighten the LED cover and close the front of the outdoor siren again.

Additional settings

- If you want to change the siren settings (name, area, zone), click on "Edit" in the sensor list.

• If you want to assign the siren to both areas, first switch SW1 to "ON."
  ○ Activate the setting "all areas" and save it by clicking on "OK."
• The siren sounds a confirmation beep.
  ○ Switch SW1 to "OFF."

- In the menu "Sensors" ("Panel") → "Sirens" you can set which alarms shall be sounded by "External siren(s)."

Supervision:

The outdoor siren sends a supervisor signal every 30 to 50 minutes. If the signal is not received by the alarm panel, the web interface shows the status "Out of order."

Alarm simulation

1. You can test the siren's function by simulating an alarm or triggering the tamper contact.
2. Warning: The siren is very loud (110 dB). Deactivate the sound either by disarming the alarm panel or by removing the batteries.

Alarm memory:

If an alarm was triggered, the outdoor siren FAS 100 sounds a (trumpet) signal when disarming to make you aware of the alarm. This signal cannot be deactivated!

Duration of the audio alarm:

The audio alarm of the outdoor siren FAS 100 is set to a duration of three minutes. If the alarm panel interrupts the alarm before the duration ended, the outdoor siren will stop as well.

Reset:

You can delete the memory and configuration of the outdoor siren FAS 100 by removing the power supply completely, holding the learn button pressed and reestablishing the power supply. After 3 to 5 seconds, the siren will beep once and the LEDs illuminate once in sequence. Then, you can release the learn button.

Siren settings

• This menu allows you to configure "external" sirens that are added to the alarm panel. It is not possible to configure the internal siren of the alarm panel in this menu.
• All settings in this menu are only transmitted and saved on the siren(s). The options will then display "on" again.
• To transmit the selected setting, select "on" or "off" and press "apply now".
• The sirens will sound a notification sound to acknowledge that the new settings have been received.
• The new configuration is sent to all connected sirens. If you want to set multiple sirens differently, you need to add them later to the alarm panel or temporarily disconnect the ones you do not want to change from their power supply.
• It is not possible to display the current setting of a siren.
  • Tamper contact on/off

Deactivates the tamper contact of all currently connected “external” sirens for one hour (useful e.g. to change the batteries).

Notes:

• If the tamper contact is disabled, the siren does not transmit status updates to the alarm panel anymore. During that time, you cannot see the current status of the contact via the menu "Sensors" → "List".
• If you open the siren without disabling the tamper contact, the acoustic alarm of the siren will sound – even if the siren is not connected to the alarm panel! In this case, you should wear ear protection and disconnect the siren as quickly as possible from its power supply.

- Confirmation signal on/off (in Arm/Disarm mode)

With this function active, the siren will sound one signal tone when arming and two signal tones when disarming the alarm panel.

Notes:

If the tamper contact of the siren is open when arming or disarming the alarm panel, five short acoustic signals sound even though the confirmation tone is disabled. This can happen before the alarm panel displays an open tamper contact, giving you the possibility to react before a tamper alarm is triggered.

- Input on/off

If this function is active, the external siren(s) sound(s) confirmation signals for the duration of the defined delay until the system is armed.

Advanced settings:

This menu allows you to configure your outdoor siren FAS 100. The most recently transmitted settings are saved and displayed here. To change the settings, simply select how your outdoor siren shall act and, then, click on "submit."

Specify, whether the LEDs of the siren are to flash for confirmation during the delay when leaving.
