About

sirenRW

Features
Read full description

The sirenRW application is used to configure RW sirens produced by Digital Systems. RW sirens are alarm sirens controlled wirelessly via radio connection, which eliminates the need to run control cables. They consist of a RW siren module (which should be connected by wire to the alarm output of the alarm system) and a RW siren radio-controlled by the RW siren module. The RW siren module can simultaneously operate with up to eight RW sirens. In addition to the standard modulated alarm sound, the RW siren has additional functions integrated: - configurable polarity of the alarm trigger signal - wireless transmission of limit switch signals independently from each RW siren, each limit switch has an independent input type configuration\n - detection of a beeping signal from the alarm system (short single-tone sounds) - adjustable beeping volume - sound signaling in case of loss of connection between the module and the RW siren, which can be turned off Using the application, you can configure RW siren modules in combination with RW sirens or only RW sirens. The application connected to the RW siren module allows: - adding and removing RW sirens to the RW siren module (maximum 8 RW sirens can be added) - changing the name of the RW siren (easier identification of the RW siren during installation/service) - reading of the module supply voltage and the voltage at the alarm trigger input - testing the alarm trigger input in the module (white wire) - setting the polarity of the alarm trigger input in the module (controlling NO- mass or NO+ supply voltage) - testing the engine cover signal output (green wire in the module), the output is the logical sum of the limit switch signals from all connected RW sirens (just activating from any RW siren limit switch so that a signal appears at the engine cover signal output, the output can also be controlled using the application) - reading of supply voltage and temperature from each RW siren connected to the module - testing the correct connection and configuration of limit switches in RW sirens, their status is displayed in the application - selection of the limit switch input type (NO-, NO+, NC-, NC+) independently in each RW siren - enabling detection of RW siren beeps (e.g. pre-alarm) - setting the beeping volume - enabling sound signaling in the event of loss of connection with the module independently in each RW siren - testing the alarm and beeping sounds independently in each RW siren. The application connected to the RW siren allows: - reading of the RW siren supply voltage and its temperature - reading the status of the RW siren limit switch (disconnected, connected to ground, connected to power supply) - turning on the sound signaling in the siren in case of loss of connection with the RW siren module - testing alarm and beeping sounds.
