Indoor Siren NF & A2P EN Grade 2
FEATURES
-High Efficiency Operation
-Silent Start-up
-Selectable sound cut off timer
-Front Tamper
-Max sound output 113 dBA at 1m
-Battery protected via resettable fuse
-Microprocessor controller
-Enclosed electronics module
Compliant with NF EN50131-4:2009, RTC50131-4:2011.
Note: For security reasons the tamper output of the siren is triggered when the siren detects:
- Removal of + ALIM (+ charging supply);
- Removal 0V supply;
Attention: Do not connect + ALIM (14.3V) to the positive output of a power supply which will be
absent during (mains) power failure. ALIM+ must be connected to a permanent power supply.

OPERATION
The SI500 sounder is used for notification of an alarm condition as generated within an intruder, hold-up
or other alarm system. In response to commands from the alarm system control panel, the SI500 will
emit a high intensity sound.
The SI500 will detect any attempt to gain unauthorised access to the sounder by removal of the cover.
This will generate a tamper signal* which is normally fed back to the alarm control panel.
The SI500 is classified as a self-powered sounder and has an on-board battery which is recharged via the
external power source. This battery is used to operate the sounder if the external power is removed.
The SI500 is designed to sound when the BL+ (Blocage) input is removed or connected to 0V.
* The SI500 is a Security Grade 2 product –loss of ALIM/Hold-off (charging supply) will cause the sounder to self-activate, but a tamper
signal is not generated. A tamper signal is only generated in the event that the cover is unscrewed/removed.
FUNCTIONAL INFORMATION
Tamper Circuit
The SI500 sounder is provided with a tamper output to detect opening of the cover.
(See figure 2 for details of tamper connections.)

Response to a fault in the primary power supply (ALIM +/-)
If the primary power supply develops a fault or is deliberately disconnected, the siren is activated for a
time depending on the setting of the ringing time
Sound Cut-off Timer
The SI500 sounder will automatically stop sounding after the time period selected by the Sound Cut-off
Timer link, Table 1, irrespective of the status of the sound trigger (BL+) input. The 5s option is provided
to reduce nuisance noise during testing

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
1) Select a suitable mounting position for the SI500 sounder.
2) Drill holes as required for fixing the backplate to the wall and for cable entry to the rear of the unit.
3) Route cable from control panel through cable entry aperture.
4) Fit backplate to wall using 4 x M5 fixing screws suitable for material of mounting surface.

1) Fit Timer Option Links - Sounder cut-off timer : T1 & T2 (see table 1).
2) Connect AP (Tamper outputs) as required (see Fig 2)
3) Connect ALIM+ & ALIM-.
4) Apply power to the sounder via ALIM + and ALIM - from control panel.
5) Connect the red and black battery leads to correct terminals of battery.
(NOTE 1: The battery must be installed to permit activation of the siren.
There may be a delay of up to 10s before a valid battery is accepted.
NOTE 2: The SI500 is specified to operate with a Powersonic PS-1221 battery, and it is
recommended to use this battery for optimal performance.)
6) Fully test sounder functionality.
7) Close the sounder cover and check that the AP (tamper) outputs, if used, are closed.
8) Commissioning is complete.
The SI500 sounder should be tested for correct operation on a periodic basis. A minimum of one check
every 12 months is recommended. The following features should be verified on each maintenance visit:
1) Correct operation of sounder from control panel signal
2) Correct operation of cover and rear tampers.
3) Remove the ALIM+ supply from the control panel and check that the internal battery voltage as
measured between B+ and B- is greater than 12V dc. If the battery voltage is less than this value
replace the battery and re-connect observing CORRECT polarity.
BATTERY REMOVAL
The battery may be removed for disposal at end Of product life or if it is detected faulty by the sounder
self-test. To remove, disconnect red and black leads from the battery terminals, unclip rubber retaining
band, and withdraw the battery from its holder. To fit a new battery, insert into holder, and reconnect
positive (RED) and negative (BLACK) leads to correct positive and negative battery terminals.
Refit rubber retaining band.
IMPORTANT: Ensure correct polarity of connections. If either battery lead has become detached from
the terminal block, ensure that exposed battery leads DO NOT accidentally cause a short circuit, then
secure positive (RED) lead to BT+ and negative (BLACK) lead to BT-.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with all national and local regulations
