Napco PSIREN Product Installation:
AC with Battery Backup:
For AC installations, be sure to select an un-switched 120VAC wall outlet and ALWAYS install the required four 'C'-size batteries (not included) that provide power if AC power fails. 1. Place a template over the 120VAC wall outlet socket, carefully aligning the template with the "Center Line of Wall Socket". Use a level to ensure horizontal mounting.
2. Mark the location of the "Tamper Magnet".
3. Use the supplied double-backed tape to secure the Tamper Magnet to the wall (do NOT use any screws near electrical wiring that runs inside walls).
4. At the wall outlet, remove the wall cover plate screw (only the screw; keep the cover plate in place). For wall outlets without a center cover plate screw, use the provided bracket and template.
5. Plug the unit into the wall outlet, being certain the siren housing is placed over the Tamper Magnet. The unit powers up.
6. Secure siren to wall outlet by using the single supplied screw provided in the accessory bag (part #SC206LF) and washer to replace the wall cover plate screw removed previously. Insert screw and washer into the Screw Hole Tab shown on the template (or the other template used for outlets without a center cover plate screw).
7. Install the Finisher Plate to conceal the Tamper Magnet.
Batteries Only:
1. Place the template over the mounting surface. Use a level to be sure the template is parallel with the floor. WARNING: Select a location that will ensure that screws are NOT used near electrical wiring that runs inside walls.
2. Mark the 2 holes for the Tamper Magnet..
3. Mark the 1 hole for the Slide Screw.
4. Heeding the WARNING noted in step 1, above, secure the Tamper Magnet to the wall using the two screws provided (part #SC596, #6 x ¾m self-tapping, Phillips flat head, U-cut, steel zinc, Type A).
5. Screw in the provided Slide Screw fully into the wall, then back the screw out 1 turn (part #SC265, #6 x ½m self-tapping, Phillips pan head, steel zinc, Type A).
6. On the back of the unit, remove the four (4) screws that secure the rear housing and pull off the rear housing.
7. Remove the two screws that secure the Wall Outlet PCB. Unplug the Wall Outlet PCB and place into the supplied anti-static bag/sheet for possible future user.
8. On the inside rear housing, insert the Rubber Gasket that covers the slots for the Wall Outlet PCB prongs.
9. In place of the removed Wall Outlet PCB, install the Tuning PCB (needed for antenna tuning to coopensate for the removal of the Wall Outlet PCB) and secure with the original Wall Outlet PCB screws. Failure to install this tuning board for DC only operation is not advised and may result in poor wireless performance.
10. Install batteries (observing polarity) and the unit powers up.
11. Replace the perimeter gasket seal and the rear housing and secure with the four (4) screws. Important: Silicone sealant has been added to these 4 screw holes; if installed in a damp location, ensure the silicone sealant remains present and effective. If necessary, add silicone sealant to restore water resistance.
12. Secure unit to the wall by using a screw (appropriate for the mounting surface) inserted into the Screw Hole Tab.
13. Install the Finisher Plate to conceal the Tamper Magnet.
