4. Pairing with Avidsen Alarm System
The Avidsen 100113 siren operates at 868 MHz and must be paired with a compatible Avidsen alarm system (models 100108 or 100111). Refer to your main alarm system's user manual for specific instructions on adding wireless accessories. Generally, the process involves:
- Putting your main alarm system into pairing mode.
- Activating the pairing function on the 100113 siren (often by pressing a learn button or triggering it).
- Confirming successful pairing on the main alarm system.
A successful pairing will typically result in a confirmation sound or light indication from both the siren and the alarm system.
Operating Instructions
Once paired with your Avidsen alarm system, the 100113 solar siren will operate automatically in conjunction with the alarm system's status.
- Arming/Disarming: When your main alarm system is armed or disarmed, the siren will typically provide a short confirmation chirp (if configured).
- Alarm Trigger: In the event of an alarm trigger from your main system, the 100113 siren will activate, emitting a loud audible alarm and flashing its integrated lights to deter intruders and alert neighbors.
- Solar Charging: The integrated solar panel continuously charges the internal batteries during daylight hours, ensuring the siren remains powered.
Maintenance
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct sunlight and reduce charging efficiency. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Check: Although solar-powered, the siren relies on rechargeable batteries. If the siren's performance degrades or it fails to activate, check the condition of the batteries. Replace them if necessary, using the recommended type.
- Physical Inspection: Regularly inspect the siren for any physical damage, loose mounting, or signs of wear.
