The solar panel provides trickle-charge backup to the internal battery, reducing the need for mains power intervention during prolonged outages. The siren mounts to external masonry walls and connects to the alarm panel via hardwired cable run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and light commercial burglar alarm installations, the Fort carries an IP44 rating for protection against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for mounting on external walls under eaves or on fully exposed elevations. The 228mm width and 109mm depth give the unit a visible presence without dominating the building facade. The red strobe panel provides visual alert alongside the audible siren tone, useful in noisy environments or where visual confirmation of alarm activation is needed at distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white polycarbonate housing resists UV degradation and impact, and the red strobe panel is sealed against moisture ingress. The 201mm height allows the unit to be positioned above ground-floor window height to reduce tampering risk, while the relatively low weight of 654g net makes wall mounting straightforward on standard brick, block or rendered surfaces. The integrated solar panel keeps the backup battery charged during daylight hours, extending the period the siren can operate during mains power failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.654\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.98\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e228\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e201\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e109\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e565\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e470\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_ECSPEXSW_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_ECSPEXS_Manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this compatible with other alarm systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fort is designed specifically for the ESP Smart Alarm system and connects via hardwired cable to the main panel.
