there's virtually no wiring at all. Fully featured with up to ten zones, remote arm and disarm function
and battery backup. This system allows you to cater for all your security needs in one system while
giving you peace of mind. Supplied with the alarm control unit, loud 120dB siren, a wireless PIR
detector and wireless reed switch and two wireless remote controls.

1.1 – System Feature

• 10 wireless zones.

• Maximum 4 wireless remote key.

• 10 Zones programmable for Delay zone or Immediate zone.

• Output for External Siren.

• 1 Full set and 1 fully selectable part set programs.

• 100 events memory for event log.

1.2 – Contents

- GSM Wireless Alarm Control Panel (CU) (One Unit)

This is the heart of the system. It receives signals from detectors.
Accepts input from a user and activates warning devices such as
siren and strobe lights.

- Wireless Door/Window Contact Detector (MC)(One Pair)
Uses a magnetically operated switch to sense the opening/closing of door or window.

- Wireless Movement / Passive Infrared Detector (PIR) (One Unit)
The PIR uses Infra-Red technology to sense body heat of a moving person. One unit
can cover an entire room.

- Wireless Remote Key (One Unit)
Used for full arming, part arming or disarming the system. In addition it is used for the
panic function. (fitted with 3V CR2032 lithium coin cell)

- External Sounder (One Unit)
Gives audible and visual indication of an alarm condition.

- Other accessories

External AC adaptor(One Unit)
The CU is pre-programmed to recognize the PIR/MC/Remote Key for immediate
operation after power supply is being connected properly.

1.3 – Tools Required

• Large and small slotted screwdrivers

• Large and small Phillips screwdrivers

• Power drill

• Hammer

• 5mm, 8mm and 10mm masonry drill bits

• Sharp knife

• Wire cutters & wire stripper

•

Ladder or other safe working platform

1.4 – Explanation of Terms

Zone – A logical area that is monitored by one detector.
Disarm – It is the normal state of the system when the house is occupied. Enter your

four-digit user PIN code would return to OFF state.
Full Alarm (ARM state) – The CU will sound full alarm (internal siren) when it receives

alarm signals.
Part Arm (Home state) – Arming the system so that certain zones omitted (i.e. will not

trigger an alarm).

Entry/Exit Zone – The CU recognize MC zone as entry and/or exit zone.
OK Beep – Rapid double tone; it indicates correct operation.
Error Beep – Long single tone; it indicates incorrect operation.

Section 2 – Installing your System

2.1 – Location of components

GSM Wireless Alarm Conrol Panel (CU) – Location

In choosing a suitable location you should bear in mind:

 The need to reach the keypad easily, within the 99 seconds of entering and leaving

the premises ( ideally passing one detector).

 The Alarm panel should not be visible from the exterior of the protected premises.
 Reception of radio signals can be affected by the presence of metal objects within a

few feet of the CU. (E.g. mirrors, central heating radiators, garage doors and cars
parked in garages on the opposite side of the wall. Avoid any location which is near
(within 60cm) to these or any other large metal objects.

Having chosen the location, do not mount at this stage.

Wireless Door/Window Contact Detector (MC) – Location

 These parts contain a radio transmitter and should not be situated

near large metal objects.

 Contains two parts. The larger one (the actual detector) contains

the batteries and the electronics. The smaller part is simply a
magnet inside.

APFWKGSM GSM Wireless Alarm Operating Manual

APFWKGSM Manual Rev01

- 7 -

PIR

2 - 2.5M

 Designed to detect a door or window opening. The detector is usually

mounted next to it on the door or window. For optimum wireless range, they
should be mounted as high as possible.

 In most applications, it is fitted to the front door.

Having chosen the location, do not mount at this stage.

Wireless Movement / Passive Infrared Detector (PIR) – Location

 The detector should not be mounted near to

large metal objects or on metal surfaces. It
needs to be mounted on a wall or in corner at a
height of approximately 2-2.5 meters for the
best general coverage in an average room. The
detector has been designed to avoid false alarms,
nevertheless, it is best to avoid installing the unit
where it is facing directly at sources of heat such
as fires and boilers and always try to avoid facing
at the window. A PIR can face at a radiator but
should not be situated above it.

 Do not position a PIR where its field of view may be obstructed (e.g. by

curtains.)
Also, note that PIR works best when sensing a movement across rather than along
their detection beams.

 Allowing for pets – The PIR senses moving body heat. In some cases, the

movement of pets may also be detected. To overcome this it is recommended that
the pets are kept in one specific room out of sight of a PIR when the system is
armed.

Having chosen the location, do not mount at this stage.

2.2 – Fixing the Control Panel

CAUTION: When positioning the control panel ensure that it is located in a dry place.

Step 1. Remove the backgraund cover(s) from the base assembly.

Step 2. Carefully remove the board by taking away screws at both edges

Step 3. Fit the panel to wall with suitable fixings. Ensure the
wall surface is flat to prevent base distortion. There are
cable entry holes provided in the rear of the base and
around the outside edges through the thinned out
plastic sections which may be cut away as required.

Step 4. The hole provided adjacent to the mains
transformer is a dedicated mains cable entry point.
