6. Close the siren housing and secure it to the mounting bracket.

4.3. Initial Configuration (SmartLeague)

The IVY-B siren's operational parameters, such as sound patterns, volume levels, and event-specific responses, are configured using the INIM SmartLeague software. Connect your alarm system's control panel to a computer running SmartLeague and follow the software's instructions to detect and configure the IVY-B siren on the I-BUS.

• Ensure the siren is properly connected to the I-BUS.
• Launch SmartLeague software on your computer.
• Access the device configuration section and locate the IVY-B siren.
• Adjust settings such as siren duration, sound type, and volume as required for your security system.
• Save and upload the configuration to the control panel.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and configured, the INIM IVY-B siren operates automatically in conjunction with your INIM alarm system. It will activate based on the events and parameters set within the SmartLeague software.

5.1. Siren Activation

The siren will activate when an alarm event is triggered by the connected INIM control panel. The specific sound pattern and duration will correspond to the configuration programmed via SmartLeague.

5.2. LED Indicator

The integrated LED indicator provides visual feedback on the siren's status. Refer to your INIM control panel manual or SmartLeague documentation for a detailed explanation of LED patterns and their meanings (e.g., armed status, alarm, fault). Typically, a steady light might indicate armed status, while flashing lights could indicate an alarm or a system fault.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your IVY-B siren.

6.1. Cleaning

Periodically clean the exterior of the siren with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no water enters the internal components.

6.2. Battery Replacement

As a self-powered unit, the IVY-B relies on a rechargeable battery. The lifespan of the battery depends on usage and environmental conditions. If the system indicates a low battery fault for the siren, or if the siren fails to operate during a power outage, the battery may need replacement.

• Disconnect Power: Ensure the main power to the alarm system is disconnected before opening the siren.
