SAFETY

Always follow the manufacturers advice when

using power tools; steps, ladders etc. and wear

suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety

goggles) when drilling holes etc.

Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden

cables and pipes, the use of a cable/pipe

locater may be advisable if in doubt.

The use of ear protection is advisable when

working in close proximity to the Siren due to

the high sound level produced by this device.

All components are suitable for mounting in dry

interior locations only.

INTRODUCTION

The Remote Control is used to ARM and

DISARM the system. The Remote Control

operates using Infra Red so it must be pointing

directly at the PIR Alarm to function.

Passive Infra-Red (PIR) detectors are designed

to detect movement in an area by detecting

changes in infra-red radiation levels caused for

example when a person/animal moves within

the devices field of vision.

The Magnetic Contact Detector is fitted along

the opening edge of a door/window and is used

to detect when the door/window is opened.

The system has 2 operating modes: ALARM

and CHIME. Chime Mode is a low security

feature that will produce a door-chime sound

when the alarm is triggered. In Alarm Mode the

device will produce a constant high volume

alarm sound when triggered.

POSITIONING THE PIR

ALARM UNIT

The recommended position for a PIR

Movement Detector is in the corner of a room

mounted at a height of approx. 2m. At this

height, the detector will have a range of up to

6m with a field of view of 110°.

When considering and deciding upon the

mounting position for the detector the following

points should be considered:

1) Where possible, mount the detector in the

corner of the room where the logical path

of an intruder would be across the device.

PIR detectors respond more effectively to

movement across the device than to

movement directly towards it.

2) Do not position the unit facing a window or

where it is in direct sunlight. PIR Detectors

are not suitable for use in conservatories.

Installation and Operating Instructions

3) Do not position the unit where it is exposed

to draughts.

4) Do not position the unit directly above a

strong heat source.

5) Do not position the unit where it is subject

to excessive vibration.

The PIR Alarm Unit should be positioned

within a 1.9m cable run from the Magnetic

Contact position. Ensure there is sufficient

cable left to connect to the PIR Alarm Unit.

The Magnetic Contact is fitted with fixed

connection cables that cannot be extended.

INSTALLATION

Configuring the Remote Control:

1) Slide off the battery cover.

2) Select a random ON/OFF combination for

the 4 DIP switches located in the battery

compartment. This is the House Code that

enables the Remote Control and PIR Alarm

Unit to communicate.

3) Set operating mode switch to ALARM or

CHIME according to the required operating

mode.

4) If fitted, carefully remove the battery

isolation tab from between the batteries. If

the batteries are dislodged replace them

noting the correct polarity shown inside the

battery compartment.

5) Replace the battery compartment cover.

Magnetic Contact Detector:

6) Fix magnet to opening part of door/window

along the opening edge opposite the

hinges using the adhesive pad supplied.

Fix Magnetic Contact Switch to fixed part of

door/window frame beside the Magnet

using the adhesive pad supplied. Ensure

that the gap between the Magnet and

Contact Switch is less than 12mm when the

door/window is closed and the arrows align.

8) Run the cable back to the PIR Alarm Unit,

(the cable cannot be extended).

PIR Alarm Unit:

9) Hold the mounting bracket in position on

the wall and mark the position of the two

fixing holes.

10)

Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using the

fixing screws and wall plugs supplied, (a

6.5mm hole will be required for the wall plugs).

Note: The wall plugs supplied are not

suitable for use in plasterboard walls.

11) Undo the battery cover fixing screw and

remove the cover.

12) Insert 3 x AA (LR6) Alkaline batteries noting

the correct polarity shown inside the

battery compartment.

13) To program the house code on the PIR

Alarm Unit press the LEARN button located

in the battery compartment. The LED

indicator on the front will start flashing.

14) Point the Remote Control at the PIR Alarm

Unit and press the ARM button for 1s. The

Unit will beep and the LED will stop

flashing when the signal is received.

marked “EXT TRIGGER SENSOR”.

16) Replace the battery cover and fixing screw.

Feed the cables through the aperture to the

right of the battery cover clip.

17) Clip the PIR Alarm Unit onto the mounting

bracket and adjust the unit until it is at the

required angle and direction.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Operating in Chime Mode:

To activate CHIME mode the mode selector

switch in the Remote Control battery

compartment must be set in the CHIME position.

Point the Remote Control at the PIR Alarm Unit

and press the ARM button.

The alarm will produce a door-chime sound each

time the door/window protected by the Magnetic

Contact is opened.

Detection of movement by the PIR detector will

not produce a door-chime sound unless the

door/window protected by the Magnetic Contact

is open or if the Magnetic Contact is not fitted.

Operating in Alarm Mode:

To activate ALARM mode the mode selector

switch in the Remote Control battery

compartment must be set in the ALARM position.

Point the Remote Control at the PIR Alarm Unit

and press the ARM button. The alarm will beep

and the LED indicator will start flashing. The

LED will continue flashing until the 30s exit-delay

expires, at which point the Alarm will be armed.

The exit-delay allows time for you to leave the

protected area without triggering the alarm.

Triggering the Alarm in Alarm Mode:

If the protected door/window is opened or

movement is detected while the system is armed

then the alarm will beep and the LED indicator

will start flashing. This continues until the 10s

entry-delay expires at which point the siren will

activate. The entry-delay allows time for you to

DISARM the alarm before the siren activates.

Unplugging or cutting the cable to the

magnetic contact detector will also trigger the

alarm, subject to the entry delay period.

The siren will continue for 60s before stopping.

Any further triggering of the alarm either by

opening the protected door/window or

movement in front of the PIR will immediately

re-activate the siren for a further 60s period.

To stop the Alarm, point the Remote Control at

the PIR Alarm Unit and press the DISARM button.

Disarming the Alarm /Exiting Chime Mode:

Point the Remote Control at the PIR Alarm Unit

and press the DISARM button. The alarm will

beep and the LED will flash.

Panic Feature:

In the event of threat or danger an alarm can be

immediately initiated at any time by pointing

the Remote Control at the PIR Alarm Unit and

pressing and holding both the ARM and

DISARM buttons on the Remote Control

together for 2s.

To stop the Alarm, point the Remote Control at

the PIR Alarm Unit and press the DISARM

button.

TESTING

It is recommended that the system is tested

immediately after installation and at regular

intervals not exceeding 1 month.

To test the system, ARM the alarm and then

trigger the PIR detector (by walking in front of

it) and then stop the alarm.

Remember to allow the exit-delay to expire

before triggering the detectors.

Re-ARM the alarm and then trigger the Magnetic

Contact detector by opening the protected

door/window and then stop the alarm.

Note: A cloth can be used to cover the siren

and reduce the sound output of the alarm

during testing.
