•VoiceAlert 2 User Manual
This user manual describes the installation of WirelessAlert’s® cutting edge V 2 Wireless Base Receiver.
Please read the content of this page carefully before continuing.
SID
Very Important: ll Wireless lert equipment installations require a Site Installation Document (SID) to be
completed by the client and agent / installer of the V 2 system (please see the SID document included at the
end of this manual – ppendix 4).
The owner (client), and or Wireless lert agent, must print a copy of the SID and sign off in relevant section
on completion of the installation.
The SID serves as a valuable record of equipment installed for warranty purposes and as a reference for any
future system maintenance / changes / technical support required.
Protocols for Installation of Electromagnetic Transmitter / Receiver Devices
The V 2 wireless receiver system employs electromagnetic transmitter and receiver devices. The correct
installation protocols must be followed at all times to prevent possible interference with surrounding
electronic radio equipment.
Please do not attempt to modify the V 2 in any way and or attempt to use the device outside of its stipulated
function as this can lead to critical failure of the V 2 device and adjacent electronic radio equipment. In
particular, please follow the warnings listed below.
Warnings:
lways make use of a qualified electrician, and or installer of electronic equipment for all electrical wiring
work that may be required.
lways use appropriate safety measures to prevent short circuit damage, including inline fuses with batteries
and appropriate inline resistors when wiring alarm panel inputs.
ll environmental safety hazard requirements (e.g. fire / explosion) that may apply when using high-powered
electronic equipment must be adhered to.
lways house batteries and other vulnerable electronic components inside suitable IP65 rated junction
boxes.
Never operate any Radio Frequency (RF) system outside of its stipulated power (RF range) ratings.
Do not unnecessarily trigger Radio Transmitting Systems leading to continuous transmission of radio signals.
Make sure to prevent any external (e.g. truck parked across detection area) and or internal factors (faulty
wiring or incorrect type of transmitter) that could lead to continuous triggering and transmission of radio
signals.
bout Wireless lert
t a moment of intruder crisis, accurate, pinpoint, trustworthy warnings delivered to the right people, at the
right moment, are critical.
Wireless lert has developed a range of security and monitoring products dedicated to keeping people safe.
Of course, our systems are leaders in keeping valuables safe too, but it is our focus on ‘user friendliness’ that
sets us far ahead in terms of personal safety.
The key to an effective early warning system is its usability; the system must be easy to use and easy to ‘live
with’.
Why ‘Trust’ in equipment is critical
Your faith and ‘trust’ in your security system is critical;
If you don’t trust that it will detect a real threat, you will never relax, and what’s the point of a system that
doesn’t eliminate your stress?
If it false triggers for no reason, you will lose trust in its accuracy and will probably stop using it.
But, V 2 offers you a reliable intruder detection device you will learn to trust fully.

Warning: Wiring the battery the wrong way can lead to damage to the V 2 so be very careful to wire
correctly!
The V 2 will now be on (powered), so make sure not to touch the circuit board with hands or other objects to
prevent danger of electrical short.
Place the battery inside the battery housing. Make sure to tuck the battery leads into the housing neatly so
that they do not get crimped when cover is replaced.
Warning: The V 2 will now be on so be careful not to touch the circuit board with hands or other objects to
prevent danger of electrical short.
Carefully replace the cover on top of the base but do not press down on the cover. You do not want to close
the V 2 just yet, as you will need to open the cover again for programming the V 2.
Plug the 220 Volt power cable into the V 2. The wall socket end of the power cable has a two-pronged plug,
which must be securely plugged into wall socket. Make use of sturdy wall plug or use a two-prong to three-
prong adaptor to ensure better connection will wall plug and socket.
Warning: If the wall plug/socket connection is not secure, the 220V mains input may drop out and result in
the V 2 running off battery only for an unnecessarily long period of time. Please avoid this as the battery will
run flat and the V 2 will switch off when battery voltage drops below 10.5V.
Note: dvanced settings do allow for power failure notification via PSTN landline telephone and or GSM cell
phone dialler (if connected). Details of how to use this function will be detailed in future advanced
