JA-163A RB Wireless outdoor battery-powered siren
JA-163A RB Wireless outdoor battery-powered siren 2 / 1 MNM51101
Notes:
- A mini USB cable is not in the supplied accessories of the siren,
control panel or any other device. You can use the cable from
the JA-190T card reader. We strongly recommend connecting
the USB cable straight to the PC connection as using a USB
HUB can reduce the reliability.
- According to the changes which have been done during the
update, previous settings might stay or settings could be erased
to default. When a reset has been done you can reload the
previous settings by the Import button and restore them with no
negative influence on the new firmware.
Internal settings of the siren
The siren properties can be set in the Devices window of the F-Link
software. When at the siren position, use the Internal settings option to
open a dialog window, internal setting is separated into 2 tabs: Settings and
PG indication (default settings are marked *):
Settings tab:
Sections: to set for which sections the siren should indicate an alarm,
as well as setting the chirps. The default setting is indication for all
sections disabled.
Reaction: defines whether the siren should indicate EW* (external
warning) or IW (internal warning). Alarm indication can also be disabled
completely (other functions remain enabled).
Siren sound: intermittent*, continuous. Option intermittent saves
energy.
Maximum siren time: 1, 2, 3*, 4, 5 minutes.
Acoustic signalling in a section: selection of the sections for which
other sounds mentioned below will be produced. Default setting is no
section selected.
Enabling of any here-mentioned options causes
a reduced battery life time depending on the
frequency of its use. That´s why we recommend
fitting the BAT-100A second battery.
Higher volume: YES / NO* - affects only entrance / exit delay
indication and sounds indicating PG output triggering. It doesn´t have any
influence on the sound of an alarm.
Beeps during section control: YES / NO – if enabled, the siren chirps
once after setting, twice after unsetting and three times when unsetting
after an alarm. It only does so when the option Periodical communication
is set to 1 s.
Warning indication: YES / NO* - When enabled the siren will beep
three times to indicate:
1) inability to set (a system status which prevents setting, such as a
fault or a triggered detector)
2) unsuccessful setting (an event occurs during exit delay, e.g. a
triggered detector)
3) unsetting with alarm memory (an alarm occured)
Entrance delay beeping: YES / NO* if enabled, it indicates the
entrance delay for the whole entrance time – intermittent beeping.
Exit delay beeping with a partially set system: YES / NO* - if
enabled, it indicates the entrance delay for the whole time when the
system has been partially set – intermittent beeping. This option is
available when Entrance delay beeping is enabled.
Exit delay beeping: YES / NO* - if enabled, it indicates the exit delay
for the whole exit time when the system is fully set – intermittent beeping.
Optical indication:
Flashes every 60 seconds: YES / NO* - It sets to one siren flash per
minute. It can be used as a warning that the building is protected by an
alarm system.
When controlled by a section: YES / NO – it sets a siren to optically
indicate setting and unsetting of (a) section(s). It blinks once when set
and it blinks twice when unset and when unset after an alarm then three
blinks. This option is available only if the periodical communication is set
to 1 s.
LED indication: red*/ blue, sirens are equipped with dichromatic LED
indicators. According to the colour of the bought front cover it is
necessary to set the same colour of indication for LEDs.
Siren flashing options: During alarms*/ 1/ 3/ 5/ 30/ 60 min of flashes
after an alarm. This option sets the length of siren flashing for only the
alarm time or extended for by a pre-set interval. Extended flashing can be
terminated by new system setting or cancellation of alarm indication in the
system (with a keypad).
Periodical communication: 1 s / 8 s – This parameter sets the
maximum postponed reaction of the siren to an alarm. When the option
8 s has been selected, then it is not possible to enable set / unset
indication.
Sounds upon loss of RF communication: YES / NO - When
enabled, the siren sound when there's no connection with the control
panel longer than 1hr 50min (110 min). Length of sounding depends on
"Maximum siren time". "No limitation option" means 20 minutes.
Notes:
- PG output activation sometimes might not be indicated when
periodical communication is set to 8 s and a PG output is
switched ON for a shorter time than 8 s.
- When periodical communication is set to just 1 s it can reduce
the typical battery lifetime by half.
PG output indication:
The siren can indicate the activity of selected PG outputs with its chirps.
Chirp 1 – slow chirping - 1 per second (for the whole period when the
PG is active)
Chirp 2 – rapid chirping - 2 per second (for the whole period when the
PG is active)
Chirp 3 - 1 chirp when the PG is activated, 2 chirps when the PG is
deactivated
Chirp 4 – a long 20 sec chirp when the PG is activated
Settings according to security grade 2
To set the siren to comply with security grade 2 use F-Link SW, the
Parameters tab and the option “Perform EN50131-1”. Device will be
configured according to required properties.
Sound priorities
The siren sound has the highest priority, the control chirps have a lower
priority and the PG output activity indication has the lowest priority (PG1
has a higher priority than PG2 etc). A chirp with a higher priority always
terminates chirping with a lower priority.
External antenna use
To improve the communication quality between the control panel and
the outdoor siren you can connect an external antenna (AN-868). Plug
the antenna into the connector (15) on the PCB. Detection of a connected
antenna is performed only when the cover is open (active tamper). If an
antenna is connected during closing the siren cover, it is automatically
used for radio communication. If the antenna is shorted out or cut off, it
automatically switches to the internal antenna and a tamper alarm is sent.
When the siren cover is closed with no external antenna, the internal
antenna is used for radio communication.
Battery replacement
The product checks the battery status automatically. When a
battery fault is triggered, the system informs its user (or service
technician). The siren remains fully functional, but we strictly
recommend to replace the battery within 2 weeks. Don´t charge the
battery at all. Use the BAT-100A type only. The battery can be
changed in control panel service mode by a service technician. When
replacing is finished, test the siren’s functioning. Take the used
battery to an official collection point, don´t throw it into the trash.
Technical specifications
The JA-163A parts (lithium battery, front cover and base) are
