 The wireless strobe siren should not be flashing when disarmed. It should only flash every 10 seconds once the system is armed. If the issue exists, or to ensure that it never happens again try re-configuring the siren.

Important: Disconnect the wireless siren from the power adapter and turn the siren to the 'On' position. 

Purchased April 2022 and Later - There is a 2-3 second delay between each beep 

  • 4 Beeps to Reset the Siren - After resetting turn the siren 'Off' then 'On'
  • 3 Beeps to pair (learn) the Siren 
  • Please see video below. When you have finished adding the siren to the alarm panel, ensure that you plug the siren back into the power adapter. When it is plugged into the power adapter the on/off button is disabled.

 

Purchased FEB 2022 and Earlier - The beeps are one right after the other, faster.  

  • 3 Beeps to Reset the Siren - After resetting turn the siren 'Off' then 'On' 
  • 2 Beeps to pair (learn) the Siren
  • Please see video below. When you have finished adding the siren to the alarm panel, ensure that you plug the siren back into the power adapter. When it is plugged into the power adapter the on/off button is disabled.    

Test Siren: Arm the system to see if it flashes every 10 seconds. Then disarm to see if it stops flashing. 

Note: After you have learned the siren (added it to the alarm panel) if it continues to flash eery 10 seconds when the alarm is not armed, select disarm on the alarm panel and the siren should stop flashing.

What if I dont want the Siren to Flash or beep twice when it is armed? If you do not want the Siren to flash or beep twice when it is armed

Please do the following: Select Menu > Settings> Switch> Arm Beep> select the white and grey square to set Arm Beep to 'Off' 

 

Now when you arm the alarm, the arm beep will no longer sound and the siren light will not flash/sound unless a sensor has been triggered.
