Operating and safety instructions
Introduction
Please read these operating instructions thoroughly and carefully. They are part of this
product and contain important instructions relating to its operation and handling.
Please always observe all safety instructions. Before initial operation, please check
that all parts are fitted correctly. If you have any questions or are unsure about handling of
the device, please contact the dealer or the service office. Please keep these instruc-
tions in a safe place and pass them on to anyone else intending to use the device.
Proper use
The mini-alarm MA 604 responds by way of the integrated passive infrared movement de-
tector (PIR) to the movements of heat-emitting bodies in rooms or at points of entry
(doors). The detector registers such movements either by a siren or two-tone bell. It can be
connected to a bell push or other type of make contact for use as a door chime. The device
is suitable for use or installation in dry, enclosed spaces. It can be connected for operation to
a 9 volt block-battery or a 9 volt mains adapter (neither is included).
The device is for private use only. Any other use or modification of the device constitutes im-
proper use and poses a serious risk of accident.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper use or incorrect operation of
the device.

Tip! - following this advice will help you to achieve optimal results.
c Danger
• Do not leave small children unsupervised with the packaging material. Danger of
suffocation.
• Do not leave children unsupervised with the device. Danger to life and risk of injury.
• Do not use the device in the presence of sick or disabled people and animals.
Shock caused by the alarm signal can endanger life and poses a risk of injury.
• Do not damage any gas, electricity or telecommunication lines when fitting the
device. Danger to life and risk of injury and damage.
• Do not allow leaky or damaged batteries to come into contact with the skin or
eyes. Use suitable protective gloves and clothing. Danger to life and risk of injury
from corrosive acid.
• Never expose the device to fire, heat or to temperatures of over 50° C for any
length of time. Danger to life from explosion.
• Do not short-circuit the batteries or recharge them. Danger to life from explosion.
• Make sure that your hearing is not exposed to the loud alarm signal for any
length of time. This can cause serious damage to the hearing.
T62_MA604_GB.indd 3 12.09.2006 11:32:34 Uhr
• Make sure that the alarm signal is not triggered close to the ears. This can cause
serious damage to the hearing.
• Please handle the connecting cable with care. Install it so that it cannot get dam-
aged and does not create a stumbling hazard. Otherwise there is danger to life
and a risk of injury and fire.
• Do not connect any other energy source to the socket of the bell push contact
cable. There is otherwise danger to life.
m Caution
• Operate the device with a 9 V compound battery or a 9 volt mains adapter only.
• Make sure that the battery is inserted with the correct polarity.
• Remove the battery from the device for long periods of non-use.
• Use new batteries only and under no circumstances used ones.
• Make sure before connecting a 9 volt mains adapter to the mains power supply
that the mains current is 230 V ~ 50 Hz and has a max. 16 ampere fuse in ac-
cordance with regulations.
• Do not cover the device with any objects. This could diminish the function of the
infrared sensor with Fresnel lens or the loudspeaker.
• Make sure that the device does not come into contact with moisture.
• Protect the device from strong magnetic or electric fields.
• Protect the device from high mechanical strain and shocks.
• Only use the device with the supplied original parts or parts suitable for it.
• Check before initial operation that all components are assembled in accordance
with the operating instructions.
• Before assembly and initial operation of the device, check that the delivery is
complete and undamaged.
• The device must only be repaired by authorized and skilled specialists.
Failure to observe this instruction poses a risk of damage resulting from improper
use and a loss of the warranty.
• Install the device so that no heat sources such as radiators or air ducts are situ-
ated in the range of the sensor. When activated, the mini-alarm could register the
temperature emitted by these objects as movements by heat-emitting bodies.
• Use the device at normal room temperatures only. Higher or lower temperatures
can impair its function.
Initial operation
Tip: the mini-alarm reacts sensitively and quickly to movements crossing its
sensing range. It reacts less sensitively to movements directly towards the sensing
range (see Fig. C).
You can use the mini-alarm to indicate movements of welcome (e.g. family members)
and unwelcome visitors (e.g. intruders) with an audible signal. You can choose be-
tween a two-tone chime and an approx. 30 sec. long siren. The device can be used
horizontally for an area and vertically for a point of entry (“curtain effect”) in the moni-
tored room (see Fig. D).
The mini-alarm can be used as a door bell by connecting it to a bell push or other
closing contact contact with the bell push contact cable.

I
.
o Connect the 9 volt mains adapter to the mains supply.
Setting up / installation
o Estimate the supposed area of movement of heat-emitting bodies and choose the
position for the mini-alarm. From the mini-alarm, the sensing range extends to 10 m
at approx. 100° for an area and 6 m at 2° for points of entry (see Fig. C and D).
Monitoring an area in a room
o Position the mini-alarm at a height of approx. 1.0 – 1.5 m. Adjust the
Fresnel - lens
E
horizontally to the area to be monitored.
Monitoring a doorway
o Position the mini-alarm above the object to be monitored. Adjust the
Fresnel - lens
E
vertically to the sensing range.

Installation
c Danger: Take care not to damage any gas, electricity or telecommunication lines
when fitting the device. Danger to life and risk of injury and damage.
Tip: to cut costs, connect the device for continuous operation to a 9 volt mains
adapter for the power supply.
The mini-alarm can be installed to monitor an area permanently – this is recommend-
ed for continuous operation, e.g. at the entrance to your home. You can position the
mini-alarm by adjusting its angle on the mounting bracket.
o Remove the mounting bracket carefully from the mini-alarm.
o Hold the mounting bracket in the position you wish to install it and mark the
holes in the rectangular surface of the mounting bracket
W
with the pen.
o Screw the mounting bracket carefully in position with the fastening screws
Y
.
o Mount the mini-alarm carefully on the mounting bracket and check that it is
properly positioned.
Tip: you can also set up the mini-alarm to monitor an area for a short period of
time – this is recommended for travel use, e.g. in your hotel room.
o Place the mini-alarm on e.g. a piece of furniture and check that it is properly
positioned.
