SEF8MS – Installation Instructions
Wireless External Siren with Strobe
INTRODUCTION
The SEF8MS is an external, self powered, siren and strobe unit designed
for audible signaling and deterrent action for protected premises.
OPERATIONS
The SEF8MS external siren activates an audible and visual alarm in
case of intrusion or alert signaled by the control panel. The sounder will
automatically stop after the sounding cycle or as soon as the control panel
clears the alarm.
The SEF8MS is monitored by the control panel to ensure the device
is functioning properly. If a defect is detected, the panel will trigger a
supervision fault.
Upon any attempt to open the siren or wrench the siren of its mounting
surface, in V2GY mode siren will trigger the sounder and the strobe.
In Alpha mode the siren will send a tamper signal to the control panel,
if no respond from control panel siren will trigger the sounder and the
strobe. Depending on its coniguration, in armed status the panel will
trigger the sounder and the strobe. When the panel is in disarmed or
programming mode, the tamper signals will be ignored and the siren will
remain silent (This functionalities vary depending on the panel version and
coniguration).
MOUNTING LOCATION
Site the siren:
1. With space around it to permit good radio reception.
2. Out of reach of intruders and vandals.
3. Where it can be seen and heard easily.
4. Vertically on wall, strobe down.
Do NOT site the siren:
1. Close to or on large metal structures, for example: metal doors or
frames, water tanks, cars, fridges and freezers.
2. Close to mains wiring or metal water or gas pipes.
3. Inside metal enclosures.
4. Next to high voltage electrical or electronic equipment, particularly
computers, photocopiers or other radios.
MOUNTING
1. Release the main cover ixing screw protective cover by gently levering
out with a terminal screw driver. Undo the cover retaining screw far
enough to release the main cover. (See igure 2.a)
2. Hinge the cover upwards from the bottom and remove it.
3. Fit rear tamper extender (if required) and trim to desired length. Drill
and ix using top centre ixing hole in backplate using suitable screws
and wall ixing plugs. Use integral spirit level to align siren and secure
with two bottom ixings.
Note: When tightening the two bottom ixing screws the rear tamper
protection mechanism will compress allowing the two bottom ixing posts
to it lush against the wall (See igure 2.b).
4. Once the siren unit is ixed on the mounting surface, take the
removable tamper activation tab between the thumb and foreinger
and pull downwards until the tab is free from the siren unit (see igure
3.c). Discard the tab responsibly.
Note: If the siren is to be moved to a diferent location, the tamper
activation tab should be reitted and the above steps repeated to re-
commission the siren.
REGISTRATION
Registration is the procedure for associating the SEF8MS to the control
panel. Below are listed the main steps of the registration procedure:
1.

2. On the siren, remove the battery compartment cover (See igure 3.a)
and it 8 AA 1.5V Lithium batteries, orientated according to indications
in the battery compartment and itted in numerical order (See igure 1
and 3.b). This will cause the siren to turn on and transmit a registration
message to the control panel.
Note: Re-registration can be achieved at any time after the batteries
have been itted by closing both cover and rear tamper switches
followed by opening either switch.

4. Insert the battery compartment cover.
5. Fit the cover to the siren by hooking the top of the cover over the top
edge of the backplate, rotating the cover to the fully closed position
and tightening the ixing screw.
6. Fit screw cover in place.
Note: The siren must always be programmed in its inal location with a
minimum radio level of 4 units on a scale of 10.
CONFIGURATION (ALPHA RADIO PROTOCOL)
The programming tool of the control panel ofers the possibility to control
a large number of parameters:
• Sounder/Strobe cut-of time: from 1s to 4mins (Default: 3mins)
• Sounder volume setting: levels + ramping volume
• (Default: level 7, Level 0 = sounder of)
Note 1: for NF/A2P compliance, default sounder/lash cut-of time and
default volume setting must be used.
Note 2: for V2GY radio protocol the default sounder/lash cut-of time and
default volume setting are: 3 mins max & level 7.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The siren will issue an early warning to the control panel when the battery
voltage is low.
The siren will continue to self-actuate under tamper conditions for 2
months after the irst low battery warning. To replace batteries follow the
procedure described bellow:
1. Place control panel in programming mode prior to opening the siren
(prevent the panel from triggering the sounder during the battery
replacement operation).
2. Remove the cover in accordance with steps 1 and 2 in the mounting
section.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover. Remove the batteries in
reverse numerical order (see igure 1).
4. Fit 8 AA 1.5V Lithium batteries, orientated according to indications in
the battery compartment and itted in numerical order as indicated in
igure 1. The siren will power up and restore its previous coniguration
and registration.
5. Fit the battery compartment cover.
6. Fit the cover to the siren by hooking the top of the cover over the top
edge of the backplate, rotating the cover to the closed position and
tightening the ixing screw.
7. Fit screw cover in place.

MAINTENANCE

The sounder and strobe should be tested for correct operation on a
periodic basis.
During routine maintenance the correct operation of cover and rear
tampers should be checked. Check for signs of signiicant water or insect
ingress and clean as necessary. Batteries should be replaced every four
years or when advised by the control unit.
Note: Prolonged exposure to low or high temperatures or high humidity
may reduce battery life. Prolonged periods of alarm will also reduce
battery life.
