Step 4: Installing The External Siren
The External Siren should be mounted at the front or the front side of the building so as to provide maximum visual deterrent and to allow neighbours to identify that it is your system that has been activated. The mounting position must NOT be exposed to direct rain or other water sources. This means that under an eave or roof overhang is a good location as shown in the diagram below. The position should allow line of sight viewing from both the street (for visual deterrent) and from your main point of entry (for visual confirmation of arming/disarming).
Use the wall plugs and screws provided if suitable for your particular building construction.

IMPORTANT!
If You Do Not Use The Wireless External Siren in your installation, you must disable it
in programming – see page 44 – Disable Wireless Siren. If you do not carry out this step, the system will think the siren has failed and will send a supervision failure message to the Monitoring Centre, 24 hours after system installation.
