StreetSiren User Manual
Updated September 28, 2021
StreetSiren is a wireless outdoor alerting device with a sound volume of up to
113 dB. Equipped with a bright LED frame and pre-installed battery, StreetSiren
can be quickly installed, set up, and operate autonomously up to 5 years.
Connecting to the Ajax security system via the secured radio protocol,
StreetSiren communicates with the at a distance of up to 1,500 m in line of
sight.
The device is set up via the for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.
The system noties users of all events through push notications, SMS, and
calls (if activated).
StreetSiren operates with only and does not support connecting via
or integration modules.
The Ajax security system can be connected to a central monitoring station of a
security company.

Operating Principle
StreetSiren signicantly improves the eciency of the security system.With a
high probability, its loud alarm signal and light indication is sucient to attract
the attention of neighbors and deter intruders.
The siren can be seen and heard from far away due to the powerful buzzer and
bright LED. When installed properly, it is hard to dismount and switch off the
actuated siren: its body is sturdy, the metal net protects the buzzer, the power
supply is autonomous, and the on/off button is locked during the alarm.

StreetSiren is equipped with a tamper button and an accelerometer. The tamper
button is triggered when the device body is opened, and the accelerometer is
activated when someone’s try to move or dismount the device.
Connecting
Before starting the connection:
Only users with administrator rights can pair the device with the hub
Pairing the device with the hub:
1. Following the hub user guide, install the . Create an account, add
the hub, and create at least one room.
Ajax app
2. Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable
and/or GSM network).
3. Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its
status in the Ajax app.
1. Select Add Device in the Ajax app.
2. Name the device, scan or type the QR code (located on the detector body
and packaging), and select the location room.

The on/off button is recessed into the body of the siren and quite tight, you can use a
thin solid object to press it.
For detecting and pairing to occur, the device should be located within the
coverage of the wireless network of the hub (at the same protected object). The
connection request is transmitted briey: at the moment of switching on the
device.
3. Tap Add — the countdown will start.
4. Switch on the device by holding the power button for 3 seconds.

StreetSiren switches off automatically after failing to connect to the hub. To
retry the connection, you do not need to switch it off. If the device has already
been assigned to another hub, switch it off and follow the standard pairing
procedure.
The device connected to the hub appears in the list of devices in the app. The
update of the detector statuses in the list depends on the device ping interval
set in the hub settings (the default value is 36 seconds).
Please note that only 10 sirens can be connected to one hub

Performance Testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the functionality
of connected devices.
The tests do not start straight away but within a period of 36 seconds when
using the standard settings. The test time start depends on the settings of the
detector polling period (the Jeweller menu settings in hub settings).
Installing
The location of the siren depends on its remoteness from the hub, and
obstacles hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, oors, large objects.
Check the Jeweller signal strength at the installation location
If the signal level is low (one bar), we cannot guarantee stable operation of the
detector. Take all possible measures to improve the quality of the signal. At
least, move the detector: even a 20 cm shift can signicantly improve the quality
of signal reception.
If the detector has low or unstable signal strength even after moving, use a
.
StreetSiren is protected from dust/moisture (IP54 class), which means it can be
placed outdoors. The recommended installation height is 2.5 meters and higher.
Such a height hinders access to the device for intruders.

When installing and using the device, follow the general electrical safety rules
for electrical appliances, as well as the requirements of regulatory legal acts on
electrical safety.
It is strictly prohibited to disassemble the device under voltage! Do not use the device
with a damaged power cord.
Mounting
Before mounting StreetSiren, make sure that you have selected the optimal
location and it is in compliance with the guidelines of this manual!
Installation process
1. If you are going to use an external power supply (12 V), drill a hole for the
wire in SmartBracket. Before installation, make sure that there the wire
insulation is not damaged!
You need to drill a hole in the mounting panel to lead out the external power supply
wire.
2. Fix SmartBracket to the surface with bundled screws. If using any other
attaching hardware, make sure that they do not damage or deform the

Do not install the siren:
Maintenance
Check the operational capability of StreetSiren regularly. Clean the siren body
from dust, spider web, and other contaminants as they appear. Use a soft dry
napkin suitable for tech equipment.
panel.
Using the double-sided adhesive tape is not recommended either for a temporary
nor permanent xing.
3. Put StreetSiren on the SmartBracket panel and turn it clockwise. Fix the
device with a screw. Fixing the siren to the panel with a screw makes it
dicult for intruders to remove the device quickly.
1. near metal objects and mirrors (they can interfere with the RF signal and
cause it to fade);
2. in the places were its sound can be mued;
3. closer than 1 m from the hub.

Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and other
active solvents to clean the detector.
StreetSiren can operate up to 5 years from pre-installed batteries (with the
detector ping interval of 1 minute) or approximately 5 hours of constant
signaling with buzzer. When the battery is low, the security system noties the
user, and the LED frame corner smoothly lights up and goes out when
arming/disarming or when the alarm goes off, including dismounting or
unauthorized opening.
