and operating instructions.
General Safety Rules
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions may result in electric shock, fire, property damage and/or serious
personal injury or death. In addition, read and follow all instructions and warnings
provided with your
alarm system.

WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Do not use this system in hazardous areas. This
may include blasting areas and potentially explosive atmospheres. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. They include but are not limited
to fueling areas such as gas stations; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where one would normally
be advised to turn off a vehicle engine.
WARNING: FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. Do not use an extension cord
unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord or an extension cord that has
been worn or damaged could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. When operating your system outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Product Function
The DS390 Remote Siren is a wired siren solution to be used with a D
receives the alarm sound from the base unit through an internal microphone and turns on the
Remote Siren in the event of an alarm. It will discontinue alarming when the base unit stops
alarming.

Operation
IMPORTANT: The D
Siren to function properly.
1. Determine an outdoor location for placement of the Remote Siren (A).
2. Mount the Remote Siren (A) and run wire [25' (7.6 m) length] to the Control Unit (B), located
indoors.
WALT

NOTE: Aim the siren downward to limit rain/water from building up inside.
3. Plug the siren wire [25' (7.6 m) length] into the Remote Siren Connector (D) on Control Unit
(B).
4. Using the self-adhesive hook and loop pieces (provided), mount the Control Unit (B) so the
microphone (G) is directly over the siren grille (Fig. 2, H) on the base unit.
NOTE: If using the DS500, mount the self-adhesive hook and loop pieces over the speaker
grill. If using the DS100, position the base unit with the keypad facing you. Mount the self-
adhesive hook and loop pieces over the speaker grille on the left side.
5. Plug power supply (E) into 120 V AC power (Fig. 3). For indoor use only.
6. Plug power supply output cord into the power connector (F) on the Control Unit.
7. Test alarm by initiating an alarm on the base unit.
Testing
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI
S12.6 (S3.19) during use. This Remote Siren is rated at 113 dB. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
TO TEST THE REMOTE SIREN
1. Arm the base unit.
2. Activate the alarm by tripping an active sensor.
3. The alarm on the base unit will sound and start the Remote Siren.
4. Turn the system off to stop.
Recommended Mounting
• Recommended location for the Remote Siren is outdoors (i.e., on a roof, below a trailer, a
flat solid surface) to provide notification throughout the outdoor environment.
• The Remote Siren MUST be mounted securely on flat, solid surface to ensure product is
not damaged and will work properly. Predrilled mounting holes are located on the mounting
bracket. Position the horn downward to limit rain from building up inside.
Prevention of False Alarms
The majority of alarms that occur are false. These situations happen every day due to user
error, incorrect installation or improper maintenance of the system. False alarms will limit the
responsiveness to the system and become a general inconvenience. As the number of false
alarms increases, authorities have become less apt to respond to alarm systems due to this
problem. Many of these situations can be avoided by following some very simple practices.
• Ensure all users are properly trained on the operation of the alarm system.
• Always turn off the alarm system before entering protected area.
• Lock all protected doors, windows or any other asset attached to a sensor.
• Check that motion detector is not obstructed. Do not allow sources of heat or sound in
range of the motion or vibration sensors.
• Check that premises are cleared and assets secured before arming the security system.
• Turn off all noise sources – radios, compressors, generators, heavy equipment, etc.
• Know how to cancel an alarm or turn off the security system before activating.
• If a false alarm is tripped notify customer service immediately.
• Test the system on a monthly basis to ensure proper functioning.
• Check cellular signal, power supply and that sensors are secured on a daily basis.
