Area of use
The door alarm is designed to monitor closed doors and emits an
acoustic signal when the door is opened.
It is installed inside the house and is suitable for doors opening to the
right or the left.
The door alarm is switched on and off with a key.
2 different operating modes can be selected with a function switch:
- “Immediate alarm” mode (when house is occupied)
- “Delayed alarm” mode (when house is unoccupied)
This allows you enough time to leave or enter your home with-
out triggering the alarm. The alarm emits a loud signal.
