Tyco Safety Canada 09WT4901 Wireless Indoor Siren User Manual
Digital Security Controls Ltd. Wireless Indoor Siren
User Manual
Use this installation sheet along with the associated alarm system installation
manual. All instructions specified within that manual must be observed.
The WT4901 is a two-way wireless indoor siren. It sounds an alarm condition
received via DSC wireless protocol from a compatible, two-way enabled security
panel (e.g., PC9155). After the WT4901 is enrolled on the security panel, it is
capable of receiving commands from the panel for sounding alarms and com-
municating any required response, such as system status. The siren is capable of
sounding different alarm cadences (e.g., continuous burglary, pulsating fire
(used in Canada), or temporal three fire (used in USA)), bell squawks, and
buzzer tones to suit the type of command it receives.
The WT4901 provides a supervisory signal to the security panel, to ensure
that its wireless communication capability is currently functioning. In addi-
tion, it monitors the case and wall tamper switch states, and the battery
state. In the event of a low battery or a tamper activation, the WT4901 trans-
mits the appropriate signal to the security panel and, if applicable, provides
an audible indication that a system event has occurred. Multiple WT4901
can be enrolled on, and supervised by the same security panel as separate
units.

Two-Way Wireless Siren Enrollment
The WT4901 serial number is only used when the indoor siren is enrolled and pow-
ered up. Enrolling the WT4901 permits it to communicate with the control panel.
The installer can activate the indoor siren by Quick Enrollment or Serial Number
Programming, see below.
NOTE: Make sure the Keypad is setup before activating the indoor siren.
Quick Enrollment
1. Enter the enrollment mode through installer programming, see section [898] in
the alarm system installation manual.
2. Power up the indoor siren, if it is not already powered up.
3. Tamper the indoor siren using the tamper switch.
4. The indoor siren sends a request to the security panel to enroll on the system.
5. The Keypad displays the electronic serial number which must be confirmed by
keying in [*]. If the electronic serial number is incorrect, press [#] and repeat
this step.
6. Select the module number that the device should be enrolled as.
NOTE: The electronic serial number is a 8-digit alphanumeric number
located on a sticker on the wireless device.
7. Repeat starting from step 2. to enroll each additional indoor siren.
Serial Number Programming
1. Enter the enrollment mode through installer programming, see section [804] in
the alarm system installation manual.
2. Select the module number that the device will be enrolled as. See sections [301]-
[304] for sirens.
3. Enter the serial number using either the Keypad, or DLS.
Placement Test
Perform a placement test to ensure there is sufficient signal strength for proper com-
munication between the security panel and the siren location.
1. Place the security panel into placement test, see section [906].
2. Start the test by tampering and restoring the siren being tested, or pressing and
holding the Test button for 2 seconds (the siren will give a beep).
3. The siren will respond with one beep if the location is “Good” or three beeps if the
siren is at a “Bad” location.
Physical Installation
The indoor siren is mounted to a flat surface such as drywall, or any variety of other
surfaces with the supplied hardware.
NOTE: When mounting the WT4901 on drywall the use of the plastic anchors
is mandatory
NOTE: Do not mount over a single gang electrical box.
1. Open the WT4901 by inserting a screwdriver into the slots and gently pry on the
front cover until it separates from the backplate.
2. If the batteries are not installed, install the batteries as shown in the sequence
indicated by the engraving.
3. Position the backplate on a flat mounting surface and mark this location.
4. Secure the backplate to the mounting surface with all the screws provided.
5. Hinge the front cover to the backplate carefully, to correctly align it with the
tamper switch, then snap it onto the backplate. The wall tamper switch must
remain closed when the indoor siren is mounted.
Test Button
The test button activates the local siren for 4 seconds. Press and hold the siren test
button, located at the front of the WT4901, to verify the indoor siren is functioning.
If it is, the siren will sound at medium volume for 2 seconds, followed by 2 seconds
at full volume. The WT4901 does not necessarily have to be enrolled on a system to
perform this test.
Battery Replacement
The security panel will indicate when the batteries are low and require replacement. Pana-
sonic, Duracell or Energizer 1.5V AA alkaline batteries can be used.
REPLACE ONLY WITH
THE TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Open the front cover and
install the batteries as shown in the sequence indicated by the engraving. If the batteries are
installed incorrectly, in the reverse polarity, the indoor siren will not work. Under typical use
the WT4901 is capable of operating on battery power alone without having to change the
batteries for a minimum period of two years.
Do not try to recharge these batter-
ies. Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with the
waste recovery and recycling regulations in your area.
Configuration and Testing
If necessary, WT4901 options can be setup to suit desired system responses. By
means of the keypad interface, the installer has access to the siren programming
menus supported by the main panel e.g., wireless sounder options (see table
below), siren enrollment and placement test activation menu.
