Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing a WIS:
νCareTaker®Plus and Custom Version panels, and
Commander®2000 and Custom Version panels
must be powered using the optional Line Carrier
Power Transformer (60-346-500).
νUltraGard®and Custom Version panels must be
powered using the optional Line Carrier Power
Transformer (60-678)
νSX-V panels must have software dated 11/30/87
or later installed for WIS operation.
νThe WIS must have a 9-volt battery installed for
correct operation. The battery can be alkaline, lith-
ium, or NiCd type.
Note: In UL listed installations, NiCd batteries cannot
be used in the WIS.
νTry to avoid installing the WIS on circuits that
include TVs, computers, or appliances such as
refrigerators or microwave ovens. These products
can generate noise on the AC lines that may block
panel signals to the WIS.
νThe panel transformer and the WIS must be
plugged into outlets on the same electrical phase
to ensure consistent operation.
νWhen connecting an exterior siren to the WIS, use
the Hardwire Exterior Siren (13-046) only.
Setting the WIS DIP Switches
This section describes the WIS DIP switches and how
to set them for the desired WIS operation. Locate the
WIS DIP switches by turning the WIS upside-down
and removing the battery cover on the back (see Fig-
ure 1).
Note: In UL listed systems, all switches must be off.

About This Document
This document describes how to install, program, and
test the Wireless Interior Siren (WIS) for use in com-
patible ITI security systems.
Product Summary
The WIS uses the existing premises electrical wiring
for receiving control panel (panel) signals. Since there
is no direct connection to the panel, any number of
sirens can be installed in a system.
The WIS receives signals from the panel, only when
the panel is powered by an optional Line Carrier
Power Transformer (60-346-500). The panel sends sig-
nals through the transformer and over the electrical
wiring.
The WIS responds to panel signals by activating its
built-in piezo sirens and the red LED located above
the top piezo.
In case of a power failure, a backup battery (not
included) provides power for the WIS. When the bat-
tery is low, the WIS beeps once every 60 seconds, indi-
cating the battery needs replacing.
The WIS also includes screw terminals for connecting
a low-current, external siren.

Switch Locations
DIP Switch 1—Battery Type
νOFF—Install an alkaline or lithium type battery.
νON—Activates a trickle charge circuit for use
with a NiCd battery.
WARNING: Never turn on DIP switch 1 when using an
alkaline or lithium battery. Personal injury
and equipment damage may result if these
batteries are recharged, short-circuited,
punctured, or discharged at higher than
acceptable rates.
DIP Switch 2—External Siren Delay
νOFF—External siren terminals activate immedi-
ately during an alarm condition.
Use this setting when the siren connected to the
external siren terminals is located inside the pre-
mises.
νON—External siren terminals activate 15 seconds
after an alarm condition occurs.
Use this setting when the siren connected to the
external siren terminals is located outside. This
helps prevent disturbing neighbors in cases of
accidental alarms that last less than 15 seconds.
DIP Switches 3 and 4—Status Tones
ν3 and 4 OFF—The WIS internal piezos and exter-
nal siren do not produce any status tones.
Use this setting when the WIS is installed in or
near sleeping areas.
ν3 ON, 4 OFF—The WIS internal piezos produce
normal-volume status tones.
Use this setting when the WIS is installed in areas
where status tones need to be heard.
ν3 OFF, 4 ON—The WIS internal piezos and exter-
nal siren produce high-volume status tones.
Use this setting when status tones need to be
heard in remote areas, inside and outside of the
premises.
CAUTION: Never turn on both DIP switches 3 and 4
together; otherwise, permanent damage
may occur to the WIS.
Wiring
Figure 2 shows how to connect the Hardwire Exterior
Siren (13-046) to the WIS external siren screw termi-
nals.
CAUTION: Only the Hardwire Exterior Siren can be
connected to the WIS terminals. Other
sirens may draw more current than the
WIS can provide and cause permanent
damage to the WIS.

house code in the WIS so that it can respond to panel
signals.

Programming a House Code into the
WIS
1) Program a house code (002-254) into the panel.
(Refer to the panel’s Installation Instructions or Ref-
erence Manual.)
Note: House codes 000 and 001 are default house
codes that must be changed to avoid communi-
cation problems when installing a WIS.
House code 255 is reserved for demonstration
use, such as with demo kits.
2) Connect the correct 9-volt battery type to the WIS
battery clip (refer to WIS DIP switch 1 setting) and
replace the WIS battery cover.
3) Plug the WIS into a nonswitched outlet.
4) With the panel in normal mode (not program
mode), press STATUS on a hardwire or wireless
touchpad. The WIS piezos sound one beep and
the WIS LED flashes, indicating it has received the
house code from the panel.
Changing the WIS House Code
1) Unplug the WIS.
2) Remove the battery cover and disconnect the 9-
volt battery.
3) Wait at least 30 seconds, then reconnect the bat-
tery and attach the battery cover.
4) Plug the WIS into the nonswitched outlet.
5) With the panel in normal mode (not program
mode), press STATUS on a hardwire or wireless
touchpad. The WIS piezos sound one beep and
the WIS LED flashes, indicating it has received the
house code from the panel.
Testing
This section describes how to test the WIS.
CAUTION: When testing monitored systems, always
contact the central station before activat-
ing alarm conditions to avoid police or
fire department response.
1) Trip fire, intrusion, and auxiliary alarms. The WIS
and the Hardwire Exterior Siren (if connected to
the WIS) should produce the appropriate alarm
tones.
Note: The WIS external siren terminals do not activate
during auxiliary alarms.
2) If the WIS is set up for normal-volume status
sounds, arm and disarm the system. The WIS
should produce the appropriate status tones.
3) If the WIS is set up for high-volume status tones,
arm and disarm the system. The WIS and the
Hardwire Exterior Siren (if connected to the WIS)
should produce the appropriate status tones at
high volume.
Contact the central station to let them know when test-
ing is completed.
