You will need:
- A Flat screw-driver
- A 5.5mm socket and driver (optional)
- A siren
- Enough flex to connect the siren to the CapeClock and
the Siren's power supply to the CapeClock
- A Power supply/transformer for the Siren (if required)
|
| 1. Turn the power to the CapeClock off. |
| 2. Remove the CapeClock from the wall (if you
have already mounted it) by loosening the two screws at the
bottom of the clock sufficiently to remove the clock off the
bracket that is mounted on the wall. Take care, because when
the clock is pulled from the screws holding it to the wall-mounted
bracket, it will have nothing holding it up. To remove it
from the wall-mounted bracket completely, gently lower it,
taking care that any wires that are already connected are
not strained. |
| 3. Place the CapeClock face-down on a protective
cloth so that the readers and front are not scratched. |
| 4. You may remove the back-plate (connected
with 4 M3 galvanized nuts) to make it easier to get at the
connectors, but it is not necessary. |
| 5. The output you will need
to use is marked "SIREN" (see Figure 2 below). Connect
the Live supply to the center wire, and the live/positive
input for the Siren to the right hand side of the connector.
|
| 6. To do this, loosen the screw
of the terminal required, insert the wire into the housing
beneath the screw and tighten the screw onto the wire so that
it is kept firmly in place. Test that the wire is clamped
firmly by gently tugging the wire in the direction away from
the connector.
|
| 7. Thus the wires will be on the NO (Normally
Open) input of the 3way connector. The left most terminal
output of the connector will be open (see Figure 1). |

|
| 8. If the siren is rated at
a voltage other than your mains supply (220V/110V), then you
must obtain a transformer or power supply for it. DO NOT use
the CapeClock's supply to power the siren, even if it is rated
at 12V DC. Use a separate power supply that is rated to deliver
the current required for it. |
| 9. Connect the neutral/negative
wire from the siren opener to the neutral mains wire/negative
terminal of your power supply for the siren. |
| 10. Replace the CapeClock back
onto its wall bracket, ensuring that the tongue of the back-plate
is inserted into the corresponding groove in the wall-mounted
bracket. Secure the CapeClock onto the wall-mounted bracket
(see Figure 3) with the 2 Mounting screws at the bottom of
the CapeClock, ensuring that the cable cover plate (see Figure
4) is correctly positioned. |
