Frequently Asked Questions - AlertWerks EME1SS-005 Black Box

How do I set up the Black Box AlertWerks EME1SS-005?

To set up, mount the main unit on a wall using the included hardware. Insert the batteries, then pair the sensors by pulling the battery tab and pressing the sync button. Connect to your Z-Wave hub using the hub's app.

What type of batteries does it use and how long do they last?

It uses a CR123A 3V lithium battery. Battery life is typically up to 1 year under normal usage. A low battery alert will sound when replacement is needed.

Can I use this alarm system without a smart home hub?

No, the AlertWerks EME1SS-005 is designed to work with a Z-Wave smart home hub. Without a hub, the alarm will sound only when triggered, but remote monitoring and control are unavailable.

What is the wireless range of the sensors?

The sensors have a wireless range of up to 100 feet in open line of sight. Walls and obstacles may reduce this range. For best performance, keep the main unit centrally located.

How do I test if the alarm is working?

Press and hold the test button on the main unit for 3 seconds. The siren will sound briefly and the LED will flash. Also, trigger a sensor by moving in front of a motion sensor or opening a door/window sensor.

What should I do if the alarm false triggers frequently?

Check sensor placement: motion sensors should not face windows, heaters, or pets. Ensure door/window sensors are properly aligned. Reduce sensitivity if possible via the hub app. If issues persist, clean the sensors with a dry cloth.

Can I add more sensors to the system?

Yes, the system supports up to 8 sensors. Additional Black Box AlertWerks sensors can be purchased and paired via the Z-Wave hub by following the inclusion procedure.

Is the alarm system weatherproof for outdoor use?

No, the AlertWerks EME1SS-005 is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to rain, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures may damage the unit. Operating temperature range is 32°F to 120°F.

How do I reset the system to factory defaults?

To factory reset, remove all batteries, then press and hold the power button for 10 seconds while reinserting batteries. The LED will flash rapidly to confirm. All settings will be erased.

Overview

The combined siren and strobe light sensor adds eye-catching visual and audio alarms to the AlertWerks Hubs. When triggered, the siren generates a loud alarm sound and the strobe light flashes brightly, alerting you to an alarm condition.

The siren and alarm are incorporated into one device. Connect up to two sirens and strobes to the intelligent sensor ports on the hub (EME108A, EME134A) or hub expansion module (EME1X8). Each device comes with a 5-foot (1.5-m) CAT5 cable. You can connect the siren/strobe light using up to 1000 feet (304.8 m) of your own CAT5 cable, positioning the sensors in hot spots.

When you plug a combined siren/strobe light into the intelligent sensor port, the base unit will also detect the sensor. It displays the device's status. You can trigger the siren/strobe light manually via the Web interface or you can configure it to turn on at certain times.

The device can be triggered by any sensor connected to an AlertWerks hub (EME108A) or V4E (EME134A), or by an alarm condition generated by the base unit. You can fully integrate it with the sensor notification matrix on the V4E (EME134A). Each device has its own SNMP OID so that status can be collected over the network. You can also control the siren and strobe via SNMP across a network.

SNMP Commands

Control the sensor manually using the following SNMP commands:

1 = allow-sensor control

8 = cycle-On-Off-On

7 = cycle-Off-On-Off

3 = turn-on

4 = turn-off
