I am having trouble learning in a new, additional siren.
My system has been installed for a few months now and working fine.
I have tried following the instructions but can't find anything explicitly about installing an additional siren to an existing sysem.
Any ideas please?

Page 8 paragraph 6 bottom left of the page explicity shows how to add an extra siren.

Just do a sounder test before you put it on the wall, apparently it can be "hit and miss" to get it to work first time.
 
but the intructions in the manual are not relevant when adding an additional siren to a working system.
I phoned the Yale helpline. They took me through the learning in of the additional siren.
The first thing they told me was that all of the switches on the left have to be in the OFF position, not the on position as shown in the manual.

The step by step instructions should be online somewhere because there is no way for people to know them without phoning the helpline.

Just my humble opinion.
 
It's the same as learning in the original siren, surely?

Is the new siren the same model as your first one?

Have you got the instructional DVD?

The website where the instructions used to be online seems to have been hijacked by some cybersquatter :mad: so I am looking for their new one

It might be near http://shop.yale.co.uk/acatalog/Wirefree_Alarms.html

Believe it or not, I did read the page you kindly quoted, but it is does not give accurate information for learning in a siren for an established system.
I had to have all of the switches on the left in the off position all the time, not just to clear the memory.
But don't take my word for it, try to learn in a siren to a working system yourself. I was just trying to be helpful in case anyone else has the same problem.
 
Would rather not.
But all the Yale experts say thats the correct way.

Just that its a bit hit and miss.

Do a search on here, its amazing whats been discussed before on here.
Just in case others want to know.

Too late to save me a lot of aggravation, but this has been discussed on this forum, and the solution is what the Yale helpline gave me , not what is shown in the the manual.
Read the last post on this page to see the solution.
It's not hit or miss, but the correct method is not in the official literature.

Well I can only go by the "yale" experts on here.

I did say there was another thread on this, why we do say use the search facility.

You got there in the end :D
 
I found it useful to learn in and test all the devices (including siren) on the kitchen table before fixing.

Any wireless system should be "test benched" before fixing. Saves time and effort. When installing wireless I try to get it all set up at least the day before.
