Siren Detector Model SDC1001

The Siren Detector must be mounted within3 inches from a Hazard Detector (smoke or fire or CO detector) using

double-faced adhesive or drywall anchors (provided). The Siren Detector attaches only one way to the mounting

plate. Orient mounting plate as shown below. Microphone holes must point towards the Hazard Detector.

Use your Console or LifeShield Android app to add the Siren Detector. Navigate to Sensors -> Add Sensor -> Siren

Detector.

1) When the prompt “Press button on Siren Detector” appears, insert the battery (with correct polarity) into

the Siren Detector within 30 seconds. If you previously inserted the battery, remove the battery, wait 10

seconds, then re-insert.

2) The system will “find” the Siren Detector. You will next be prompted to “Press button on Hazard

Detector”. You will have 90 seconds after the system finds the detector to complete the next 2 steps.

3) Attach the Siren Detector to the mounting plate being certain that the microphone holes are oriented

towards the Hazard Detector.

4) Press and hold the test button on your Hazard Detector long enough to cause the siren to sound. This is a

required test, and the Siren Detector must successfully hear the siren. The system will report “Siren

Detector Added” when complete.

5) You may edit the name. You must select the type of Hazard Detector associated with the Siren Detector

(fire, CO, or both).

The “Add” process will not complete if the test is not successful. If the test fails, remove the battery from the Siren

Detector and repeat the above process. The battery must be installed within 30 seconds of the prompt “Press button

on Siren Detector” and the Hazard Detector must be sounded within 90 seconds of the Siren Detector being found

by the system. If after a second attempt the Siren Detector is still not added to the system other likely causes are:

- Siren sound from the Hazard Detector is not loud enough because the Siren Detector is more than 3 inches

from the Hazard Detector

- Hazard Detector battery is low so the sound is not loud enough

- Hazard Detector is an older technology and is not compatible with the Siren Detector
