The JA-162A Internal wireless siren 

The JA-162A Internal wireless siren 

1 / 2 

MNJ51101 

1

The JA-162A is a component of the 

JABLOTRON 100 

system.  

It is used for alarm indication inside a building. It can also be used 
for other acoustic indications (PG outputs, entry/exit delays and 
doorbell). Pressing the siren button can silence the alarm 

 

(= confirmation of a person’s presence in the building) or trigger a 
panic alarm (optional function). The siren is equipped with a backup 
battery for cases when AC dropouts can happen. It has also got a 
built-in detector of siren tampering by disconnection from its 
electrical socket. The siren should be installed by a trained 
technician with a valid manufacturer’s certificate.

Installation and enrolling the siren to the 

control panel 

It is necessary to perform the enrollment procedure in service mode 

and the system has to be equipped with an JA-110R radio module.  

1.  Plug the siren into the required electrical socket where there is 

still a good RF range to the control panel. 

2.  The control button (1) lights permanently with a yellow colour 

and it means the siren is ready to be enrolled. If the control 
button (1) doesn´t light permanently, then follow the 

Warning

 

below.  

3.  Go to the F-link software, select the required position in the 

Devices window and click on the Enroll option – enrollment 
mode is then launched.  

4.  Press the control button (1) on the siren. The siren is thus 

enrolled to required position and the yellow LED goes off.  

5.  Set the siren properties (see the Internal setting chapter)  

Warning

: If the battery is low then the siren can´t be enrolled to 

the control panel. This status is indicated by the periodical flashing 
of the yellow LED each 15 s. It is strictly necessary to wait (usually 
a few minutes) until the backup battery is charged to the point when 
it is able to transmit the enrolling signal. When the backup battery is 
fully charged (permanently lit yellow LED), open the enrollment 
mode and then press the control button (1) to transmit an enrolling 
signal.  

If the siren is unplugged from the electricity then it will be able to 

work for 12 hrs from the backup battery. When the backup battery 
voltage reaches the critical level, then the siren is turned off to 
protect the backup battery against damage. 

Internal settings of the siren 

Go to the 

Devices 

tab in the F-Link software. When you are at 

the siren position, use the 

Internal settings

 option to open a dialog 

window where you can set: (* indicates default settings). 

Sections: 

defines for which sections the siren should indicate an 

alarm and possibly also entrance / exit delays and system setting. The 
default setting is indication disabled for all sections.* 

Reaction: defines whether the siren should indicate an 

IW*

 

(internal warning) or 

EW

 (external warning) signal. Alarm indication with 

siren chirps can also be completely disabled (other functions remain 
active). 

Siren tones: 

intermittent

*, 

continuous

 

Maximum siren time: 

1, 2, 3*, 4, 5

 

minutes.

  

Detection of tampering

:

 by the built-in accelerometer the siren 

detects its disconnection from electrical socket. Options 

Disabled, 

Always*, During alarm. 

Higher volume: YES / NO* - 

affects only entrance/exit delay 

signalling and sounds indicating PG output triggering. 

Beeps during section control: 

YES / NO* 

- if enabled, the siren 

chirps once after setting, twice after unsetting and three times when 
unsetting after an alarm. It only does so for selected sections. 

Entrance delay beeping: 

YES / NO*

  if enabled, it indicates the 

entrance delays of the selected sections. 

Entrance delay beeping with a partially set system: YES

 / NO*

  if 

enabled, it indicates the exit delays of the selected sections when 
partially set. 

Exit delay beeping: 

YES / NO*

 

 

if enabled, it indicates the exit 

delays of the selected sections. 

Flash when button is pressed: YES

 / NO*

 

 

if enabled, it indicates 

pressing the button by quick flash of the LED.  

Acoustic signalling of PG output activity: 

Sound indication can be set for each PG output:

 

No

  

-  PG output generates no sound 

Slow beeping

  

-  slow chirping – 1 per second (for the whole period 

when the PG is active) 

Quick beeping

     rapid chirping – 2 per second (for the whole period 

when the PG is active) 

One beep

  

-  1 chirp when the PG is activated, 2 chirps when 

the PG is deactivated 

20 sec of beeping

   20 sec long chirp when the PG is activated 

Melodies 1,2,3,4

   -  doorbell melody selection 

Control panel reaction to pressing the siren button: 

The default setting is that pressing the siren button (1) during an 

alarm mutes the siren and concurrently confirms a person’s 
presence in the building (a report is sent).  

It is possible to change the siren button reaction in order to function 

as a panic alarm button (1) in the Devices window in the F-Link 
software. In such a case the system responds to the pressing with a 
panic alarm in the section to which the siren has been assigned. 

Test 

 

by pressing the TEST button you can test the siren function 

and the siren reacts to this pressing by 3 s alarm sound. 

 

Note: 

The siren sound has the highest priority, the chirps during control 

have a lower priority and the PG output activity indication has the 
lowest priority (PG1 has a higher priority than PG2 etc). The chirp 
with higher priority always terminates the chirp with a lower priority.

 

Backup battery replacement 

The siren checks the backup battery status automatically. The 

current status can be checked by the F-link software tab called 
Diagnostics (current battery status, its voltage when loaded and 
unloaded). When a backup battery fault is triggered, then it is 
necessary to replace it as fast as possible to avoid siren 
malfunctioning.  

The control panel must be in service mode (see control panel 

installation manual) then it is possible to open the siren cover,

 

before you start changing the battery.

 Valid when Detection of 

tampering is enabled. Always use a 3,6 V, 170 mAh (BAT-3V6-
N170) backup battery.  

Note

: If the battery is low (as reported to the control panel) the 

siren is not able to fully perform all its functions  

 
   

Battery replacement procedure: 

 

Battery replacement can only be done by a 
person with an adequate electrotechnical 
qualification and only when the siren is 
disconnected from its electrical socket. 

1.  Unplug the siren from the electrical socket. 
2.  Unscrew the 4 locking screws on the siren’s rearside and remove 

the rearside carefuly. 

3.  Take out the PCB from the Front part. 
4.  Now it is possible to replace the old backup battery. Fix the new 

backup battery by the ties and connect it by connector to the PCB.  

5.  Re-assemble the siren in reverse order of the points (1 – 3) – be 

careful, the spring has to be correctly assembled on the LED’s 
body otherwise the button will not work (1).
