2.5 INSTALLATION OF THE SENSOR(S); SIGALARM WS4.0 The solar sensors are the component of the system that detects voltage. TURN THE SENSOR ON: 5HPRYH WKH VHQVRU OLG DQG SXW WKH VZLWFK VZ LQ WKH ȊRQȋ SRVLWLRQ 3ULRU WR RSeration, connect the solar panel in the lid to the (J3) connector in the base of the sensor. Close the sensor insuring the solar panel cables are not caught between the seal. Loosely assemble screws in the sequence shown below 1 3 4 2 Tighten all screws to an 8 inch-pound torque.
VERIFY PAIRING: Before permanently installing the sensor and after power is applied to the main control module, verify that the correct quantity of sensors are paired. (Refer to section 3.13 Manage Sensors for further pairing instruction). Verify the correct serial numbers are listed in the active sensor column.

SENSOR PLACEMENT The distance between two sensors must not be greater than 1.75 x MAD. Distance between sensors cannot exceed 1.75 x MAD MAD MINIMUM APPROACH DISTANCE - MAD EXAMPLE If MAD = 20’ Then 1.75 x 20’ = 35’ Distance between sensors < 35’ SIGALARM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL / GENERATION 4 WIRELESS / VERSION 4.

MOUNT THE SENSOR WITH OPTIMUM RADIO POSITIONING The sensor radio should be placed with the best possible line of sight to the control module. For example, rotating the sensor so the radio is on the left versus the right could improve communication with the main control module under certain circumstances. Sensor radio RADIO DISTANCE RATING Zigbee radio communication is rated for up to 27 meters.
2.7 RELAY OPTIONS Your Sigalarm has four relay ports that allow you to customize your installation. 7KHVH UHOD\V ZLOO RSHQ DQG FORVH XQGHU GLHUHQW FLUFXPVWDQFHV $ QRUPDO operation, warning, or danger status will open or close these relays according to the diagram. These relay outputs are for up to a maximum of 50Vdc/75Vac only. A relay cable will be provided for you with every Sigalarm system. Each cable has three conductors and pins.
Use the relay diagram to customize the installation to your needs.
2.8 TESTING THE INSTALLATION Verify your installation is correct and complete the operation set up prior to operating equipment near power lines. ▶ Apply power to the unit and verify the LCD screen turns on and the unit goes into a maximum status. If no sensors DUH SDLUHG ȊQR GDWDȋ ZLOO DSSHDU ▶ Select the reset button and verify the control module reverts from max to the last displayed setpoint. The setpoint autosaves every 10 seconds.
3. MENU DISPLAY IDENTIFICATION 3.1 HOME SCREEN / DETAIL VIEW The home screen or detail view provides the central point of access for all the system’s range of applications. It consists of the following sections: ▶ Tool bar ▶ Sensor dashboard ▶ Setpoint display ▶ Sensor status gauge ▶ Touch screen button icons You can swipe the screen to the left or right for alternate Gauge View. SIGALARM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL / GENERATION 4 WIRELESS / VERSION 4.
3.2 TOOL BAR (Refer to diagram on page 19) Item Top Tool Bar Function 12 GPS Indicates if the Sigalarm system is receiving GPS service 13 GSM Indicates GSM signal strength; Optional 14 Compass Indicates direction 15 AZ/EI Indicates position 1 Menu This icon opens the Actions Screen 3.
3.6 TOUCH SCREEN ICONS Item Tool Bar Function 5 Override The override icon can be selected in a danger state.
3.8 ACTIONS SCREEN OVERVIEW The Actions Screen provides the point of access for all the following pages: ▶ Admin ▶ Display Settings ▶ Setup Defaults ▶ Manage Sensors ▶ Manage Devices ▶ Volume Adjustment 20 SIGALARM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL / GENERATION 4 WIRELESS / VERSION 4.
3.9 ADMIN Item Action Screen Function 1 Admin Icon Enter password, adjust setpoint max (optional), volume min and max (optional), lock setpoint (optional) Any adjustment that can be made from the Admin Screen should be completed while equipment is at a safe distance from power lines and in a stationary position. As an added layer of protection, access to these adjustments are password protected. PASSWORD Passwords should only be given to competent persons capable of making key safety decisions.
ADMIN SCREEN FEATURES (ALL PASSWORD PROTECTED) Setpoint: Maximum setpoint parameters can be set to limit the operator’s ability to increase the setpoint from the Home Screen. For example: if the admin selects 55 as the maximum setpoint, the operator can only increase the setpoint to 55 or less. This also limits the one touch feature to 55 or less. Volume Max: The volume maximum can be set to limit the operator’s ability to increase the volume of the external speaker.
Radio Frequency Selector: This feature allows you to select which radio frequency the control module will utilize. The control module and sensors must be set on the same frequency to communicate. 916 is the factory default. Use the bottom right corner to select the dropdown menu and assign the preferred radio frequency. In the USA and Canada, users may only select the radio frequencies of 906MHz, 908MHz, 910MHz, 912MHz, 914MHz, 916 MHz, 918MHz, 920MHz, 922MHz, or 924MHz.
3.12 MANAGE SENSORS Item Action Screen Function 4 Manage Sensor Icon Add or remove sensors MANAGE SENSORS FEATURES Active sensors: Displayed sensors in this column are paired to the control module. These same sensors will appear in the Home Screen/Detail View. The installation technician should always verify that the serial number and quantity of sensors installed on the equipment are identical to the listed sensors in this column. Sensors can be removed simply by selecting the icon.

! IF MULTIPLE LINES ARE PRESENT, THE SIGALARM SYSTEM SHOULD BE SET TO THE LOWEST VOLTAGE LINE, AND ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS MAY BE REQUIRED. 5.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES Powering up: :KHQ SRZHU LV ȴUVW DSSOLHG WKH FRQWURO PRGXOH ZLOO VHDUFK IRU sensors. No data will appear while connectivity is in progress (approx. 2 seconds). Once sensors are connected the control module will go into a maximum setting. If any power lines are in the vicinity, the alarms will sound.
BELOW SET A below set status occurs when all of the sensors have a reading numerically lower than the displayed setpoint. This means WKH HTXLSPHQW LV LQ WKH GHȴQHG ZRUN ]RQH WARNING A warning status occurs when one or more sensors are within 80% of the setpoint. This means the equipment is getting closer to but has not yet reached the danger zone. DANGER A danger status occurs when one of the sensor readings matches the setpoint. This means the equipment has crossed into the danger zone.
! WARNING NOTES ▶ If multiple lines are present, the Sigalarm should be calibrated to the lowest voltage line, and additional preventative measures may need to be utilized. ▶ The operator MUST fully understand how the Sigalarm is installed, operates, and its limitations before use. ▶ It is highly recommended that a Sigalarm distributor or an equally competent person complete installations. ▶ Prior to use, operator training should be done by Sigalarm, its representatives, or a competent person.
5.5 OVERRIDE FEATURE If a danger status occurs the operator can depress the override icon. The control module will then display an override countdown. The override countdown keeps the unit in a warning state for 15 seconds. If the auto shutdown feature has been utilized this will allow the operator to pull away from the line. !
