Operating principle
StreetSiren Fibra is a wired outdoor siren. The device is equipped with a
piezoelectric buzzer for sound alerting and an LED frame for visual alerting.
StreetSiren Fibra performs two tasks: It informs about alarms and indicates the
arming mode.
1. Informs about alarms. The device responds to tamper triggering and
security system alarms by activating the buzzer and LED lights in less than a
second. This scares intruders away and attracts the attention of neighbors.

Alarm volume and duration
When alarmed, the siren sounds for 3 to 180 seconds, producing a sound
volume of 85 to 113 dB. In the Ajax apps, you can set the duration and volume of
the alarm, as well as determine which detectors will activate the siren.
Anti-sabotage protection
StreetSiren Fibra is equipped with a button and raises an alarm when the
main power is lost. The tamper button is triggered when the siren is removed
from the mount or when the enclosure is opened.
In the event of a sabotage, the users and the security company will know exactly
which siren the intruders are trying to disable. The notications contain the hub
name (name of the guarded facility), the incident time, the siren name, the alert
type, and the to which the device is assigned.
Fibra data transfer protocol
The siren uses Fibra technology to transmit alarms and events. This is a two-
way wired data transfer protocol that provides fast and reliable communication
between the hub and the rest of the devices. Using the bus connection method,
Fibra delivers alarms and events instantly, even if 100 detectors are connected
to the system.
Fibra supports oating key block encryption and veries each communication
session with devices to prevent sabotage and forgery. The protocol requires
regular polling of sirens and detectors by the hub with a predetermined
frequency to monitor connection and display the status of the system devices in
real time in the Ajax apps.
2. Indicates the security status. The siren can use an LED indication to notify
that the object is armed as well as sound and light to indicate entry/exit
delays. These features can also be useful when controlling the security
system with key fobs or keypads. In this case, the siren can remind you to
disarm when you enter the object.

Sending events to the monitoring station
The Ajax security system can transmit alarms to the monitoring
app as well as the central monitoring station (CMS) in the formats of the
SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other proprietary
protocols. A complete list of supported protocols is .
StreetSiren Fibra can transmit the following events:
When an alarm is received, the operator of the security company monitoring
station knows exactly what happened and precisely where to send a fast
response team on the site. Addressability of each Ajax device allows you to
send not only events to the PRO Desktop or to the CMS but also the type of the
device, the name of the device, and the virtual room to which the detector is
assigned. Note that the list of transmitted parameters may differ depending on
the type of CMS and the selected protocol for communication with the
monitoring station.
The device ID, the loop (zone) number, and the bus number can be found in its
.
Siren placement
When choosing where to place the device, consider the parameters that affect
the operation of the siren: the level of Fibra signal, the length of the connection
cable, the audibility of the sound signal, and the visibility of the LED indication of
the siren.
PRO Desktop

Which CMSs can the Ajax security system be connected to
1. Tamper alarm / recovery.
2. Alarm due to loss / restoration of the main power.
3. Loss / restoration of connection to the hub.
4. Temporary deactivation / activation of the siren.
states in
the Ajax app

StreetSiren Fibra withstands heat, cold, and temperature drops. The siren is
protected from rain and snow and can be installed on the facade of the building
without a canopy. The enclosure is IP54 certied.
The recommended installation height is 2.5 meters or more. This will make it
harder for intruders to access the device in case of an attempted sabotage. If
the siren cannot be placed at this height, it can be installed lower.
Consider the placement recommendations when designing your facility’s
security system. Design and installation of the security system should be
carried out by professionals. A list of authorized ocial Ajax partners is
.
Design and preparation
For the system to work correctly, it is important to properly design the project
and install all devices correctly . Failure to follow the basic installation rules and
recommendations of this manual may result in detector malfunction, false
alarms, or loss of connection with already installed devices.
When designing the layout scheme of the detectors, consider the wiring diagram
of the power cables laid on the site. Signal cables must be laid at a distance of
at least 50 cm from the power cables when lying parallel, and, if they intersect, it
must be at a 90° angle. Note that, if you connect multiple devices on the same
bus, detectors are connected in sequence.
The maximum number of connectable devices for the Hub Hybrid is 100 at the default
settings.
How to calculate the number of connectable detectors (in progress)
For facilities that are under construction or renovation, cables are laid after the
main wiring of the facility. Use protective tubes to route system cables to
organize and secure the cables; ties, clips, and staples can be used to secure
them.
When laying cables externally (without mounting them inside the walls), use an
electric channel raceway. Raceways should be no more than half-lled with
available here

cables. Do not allow cables to sag. The raceway should be hidden from view if
possible — for example, behind furniture.
We recommend laying cables inside walls, oors, and ceilings. This will provide greater
security: the cables will not be visible, and it will be impossible for an intruder to access
them.
When selecting a cable, consider the length of the connection lines and the
number of detectors to be connected; these parameters affect the signal
strength. We recommend using shielded copper cables with a high-quality
insulation layer.
When installing, observe the bend radius that the manufacturer species in the
cable specs. Otherwise, you risk damaging or breaking the conductor.
Be sure to check all cables for bends and physical damage before installation.
Perform the installation in a way that minimizes the possibility of damage to the
cables from the outside.
Signal strength and cable length
The Fibra signal level is determined by the number of undelivered or corrupted
data packages over a certain period. The icon on the Devices tab
indicates the signal strength:
The signal strength is inuenced by the following factors: the number of devices
connected to one bus, the length and type of cable, and the proper connection of
the wires to terminals.
Check the Fibra signal strength before nal installation of the siren. If the signal strength
Three bars — excellent signal strength.
Two bars — good signal strength.
One bar — low signal strength, stable operation is not guaranteed.
Crossed out icon — no signal.

is as low as one or zero bars, we cannot guarantee stable operation of the device.
The maximum permissible cable length depends on its type, its material, and the
method of connecting the devices. When connected via the beam connection
using the U/UTP cat.5 (4×2×0.51) twisted pair, the wired connection length can
reach up to 2,000 meters.
When connected via the ring connection method, the maximum cable length is
500 meters in case of using a twisted pair.
How to calculate the wire connection length (in progress)
Connecting devices using the ring connection method will be available with future OS
Malevich updates. Hardware update of Hub Hybrid won’t be required.
Do not install the siren
Installation and connection
Before installing StreetSiren Fibra, make sure that you have selected the optimal location
and that it meets the conditions of this manual. Cables must be hidden from view and
located in a place that is dicult for intruders to access to reduce the likelihood of
sabotage.
Ideally, mount the cables in the walls, oor, or ceiling. Before the nal installation, test
the and the Fibra signal strength.
How OS Malevich updates
1. Near the glass break detectors. The siren sound may trigger an alarm.
2. In places where the audio signal of the siren can be jammed.
3. In places where the LED indication of the siren will not be visible.

When connecting to the device terminals, do not twist the wires together; solder
them. The ends of the wires that will be inserted into the terminals should be
tinned or crimped with special tips. This will ensure a reliable connection. Follow
safety procedures and regulations for electrical installation work.
In order to install a siren:
1. Disconnect the hub external power supply and the backup battery.
1 — External power supply
2 — Backup battery
2. Run the siren connection cable into the hub casing and connect the wires to
the bus.
+24V — power supply input
А, B — signal terminals
GND — ground
3. Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel from the siren enclosure and
carefully break out the perforated part to lead the cable out.

4. Run the cable from the hub into the siren enclosure through the hole made.
5. Connect the wires to the terminals according to the scheme below. Follow
the polarity and connection order of the wires. Securely fasten the wires to
the terminals. Secure the cable with ties.
+24V — power supply input
А, B — signal terminals
GND — ground
6. If the siren is not the last device in the connection line, prepare a second
cable in advance. The ends of the wires of the rst and second cables,
which will be inserted into the siren terminals, must be tinned and soldered
together, or crimped with special tips.
7. If the siren is the last device in the line and the beam connection is used,
install a terminating resistor by connecting it to the signal terminals of the
device. When the ring connection method is used, a terminating resistor is
not needed.
More about connection methods (in progress)
We recommend using the ring connection method (hub – detector – hub). If the
ring is broken, not a single device will be disabled: in this case, two beams are

formed, which will continue to operate normally and transmit events to the hub. If
the ring is broken, the users and security company receive notication.
8. Attach the SmartBracket mounting panel to a vertical surface with the
bundled screws. When using other fasteners, make sure they do not
damage or deform the mounting panel. The recommended installation
height is 2.5 meters or more.
Don’t use double-sided adhesive tape for temporary or permanent xation of the
siren, as the device may come off the surface at any time.
9. Place the siren on the SmartBracket mounting panel.
10. Secure the siren with a screw. This reduces the risk of burglary and
sabotage.
11. Turn on the hub to supply the connected siren with power. When power is
applied, the siren’s LED frame will notify that the device is turned on.
12. .Add StreetSiren Fibra to the system
13. Conduct the Fibra signal strength test. The recommended signal strength
value is two or three bars. Otherwise, check the connection and the
condition of the cable.
14. Conduct the . If the siren is hard to hear, change the
volume or move the device.
