QUICK START GUIDE
2. QUICK START GUIDE
OVERVIEW
This section tells you how to install the EPIR3 system quickly and easily and covers all the procedures required for
full system operation. The alarm system functions via the GSM network, so you will rst need to purchase a SIM
card so you can ‘talk’ to and program your device via your mobile phone. Due to the dual element technology of
a built-in PIR sensor, the device features the pet immunity against the animals of up to 40 kg weight in order to
prevent them from causing false alarms while moving within the secured premises.
Your EPIR3 system has a built-in wireless module providing expansion capabilities to your system by pairing additional ELDES wireless devices to it. However, the EPIR3 system can operate fully without any wireless devices
paired to it.
This section does not cover the procedures for adding wireless devices to the system. If you intend to use the
wireless devices with your EPIR3 system, follow the instructions for setting up the EPIR3 in this section then refer
to section 3: HOW TO MANAGE THE WIRELESS DEVICES.
Step-by-step system installation
2.1. How and where to x the holder to the wall
The system should be installed indoors, in stationary environment ONLY. Choose a location where unauthor-
ised entry is most likely.
12
To prevent false alarms, avoid installing the unit in the following locations:
• With the lens facing direct sunshine, for instance in front of windows
• Places with high temperature uctuations, such as near replaces, boilers, ovens etc.
• Anywhere with high dust or air ow
• In an area surrounded by metal or thick walls where the GSM connection may be lost

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
• We advise you to choose the same GSM SIM provider for your system as for your mobile phone. This will
ensure the fastest, most reliable SMS text message delivery service and phone call connection.
• For maximum system reliability we recommend you do NOT use a Pay As You Go SIM card. Otherwise, in
the event of insucient credit balance on the SIM card, the system would fail to make a phone call or send
messages.
• We also recommend you to disable call forwarding, voice mail/text message reports on missed/
busy calls. Please contact your GSM provider for more details on these services and how to disable them.
Place the SIM card in your mobile phone and disable the PIN
code by following the appropriate menus on your mobile
phone. This will help ensure
that when you install the SIM
card in the EPIR3 it will operate correctly.

2.12. A 15 second delay allows you to leave the premises
When you arm the system via your phone, a keyfob or a keypad, the system will give you a 15 second delay before
it activates, giving you time to leaving the premises. You can change the time delay at any time (see ELDES Con-
guration Tool software’s Help section).
The red LED on the detector lens will start to blink, indicating the time delay is in operation and you must leave
room. The red light will go o after 15 seconds when the system will be armed.
2.13. Receiving an alarm call
When the detector is armed and motion is detected in the room, the system will send a SMS text message to User
1 and then ring the user until the call is answered. If the call is not answered after several rings (predetermined
by your mobile phone operator) the system will hang up. If the call is not picked up by User 1, the system will ring
all the pre-programmed numbers in order of priority starting with User 2 until a user picks up or the call expires.
If the rst user is “busy” or “out of radio coverage”, the system will also ring the next pre-programmed number.
When a call is answered, the system will activate the remote microphone so you can listen to what is happening

ware’s Help section).
NOTE: Due to the dual element technology of a built-in PIR sensor, the device features the pet immunity against
the animals of up to 40kg weight in order to prevent them from causing false alarms while moving within the secured premises.
2.14. In case of mains power failure
The system will automatically switch to the back–up battery supply in case of mains power failure. At this time you
will receive an SMS text message warning message after 30 seconds. When the mains power has been restored
you will also receive an SMS text message after 30 seconds. Likewise the system will warn you by when the backup battery is getting low, just before the system is switched o.
2.15. Receiving an SMS text message when temperature exceeds the set values
The system comes equipped with a feature intended for temperature measurement in the surrounding area. This
feature allows to monitor the temperature and receive a notication by SMS text message, identied as the Temperature Info SMS, to user phone number when the set temperature MIN or MAX thresholds are exceeded. For this
purpose you may use the system’s built-in temperature sensor or one of the temperature sensors incorporated in
the wireless device (if any). The following wireless devices contain a built-in temperature sensor:
• EWP2–wirelessPIRsensor(motiondetector).
• EWD2-wirelessmagneticdoorcontact/shocksensor/oodsensor.
• EWS3–wirelessindoorsiren.
• EWS2–wirelessoutdoorsiren.
• EWF1-wirelesssmokedetector.
• EWF1CO-wirelesssmokeandCOdetector.
• EW2 - wireless zoneand PGM output expansionmodulesupports the temperaturemeasurement featureas
well. However, an external temperature sensor (-s) must be connected to EW2 for this purpose.
By default, temperature measurement feature is disabled. To enable it, please refer to ELDES Conguration Tool
software. To set the MIN and MAX temperature thresholds, please refer to section 4. HOW TO PROGRAM THE
SYSTEM USING YOUR MOBILE PHONE or ELDES Conguration Tool software.

The wireless devices can operate at a range of up to 30m (98.43ft) from the alarm system unit while inside the
building and at up to 150m (492.13ft) range in open areas. The wireless connection is two-way and operates in
one of four available channels in ISM868 / ISM915 non-licensed band.
EKB3W, EW2, EWP2, EWS2, EWS3, EWF1, EWF1CO:
• First360attemptsafterthedevicestartup(reset)-every10seconds.
• Therestofattempts-every1minute.
EWD2:
• First360attemptsafterthedevicestartup(reset)-every10seconds.
• Therestofattempts-every2minutes.
Once the wireless device is paired, it will attempt to exchange data with EPIR3 system. Due to battery saving
reasons, all ELDES wireless devices operate in sleep mode. The data exchange will occur instantly if the wireless
device is triggered (zone alarm or tamper alarm) or periodically when the wireless device wakes up to transmit the
supervision signal, based on Test Time value, to the system as well as to ac cept the queued up command (if any)
from the system. By increasing the Test Time period, EWS2/EWS3 siren response time will decrease. Example:
The alarm occurred at 09:15:25 and the system queued up the command for EWS3 siren to start sounding. By
default, Test Time value of EWS3 siren is 7 seconds, therefore EWS3 siren will sound at 09:15:32.
By default, the Test Time period is as follows (customizable):
• EKB3W: every 60 seconds.
• EW2, EWP2, EWF1, EWF1CO, EWD2: every 30 seconds
• EWS2, EWS3: every 7 seconds.
To set a dierent Test Time value, please refer to ELDES Conguration Tool software.
NOTE: Test Time aects the wireless device pairing process due to the alarm system listening for the incoming
data from the wireless device. The system pairs with the wireless device only when the rst data packet is received.
NOTE FOR EKB3W: In comparison with other ELDES wireless devices, EKB3W keypad features some exceptions
regarding the wireless communication. For more details on EKB3W keypad wireless communication and back-light
timeout, please refer to 3.3.1. Sleep mode, how to wake up EKB3W and view system alarms or faults.
Wireless signal status monitoring
If the wireless signal is lost due to poor signal strength or low battery power on a certain wireless device and does
not restore within 1-hour period, the system will cause an alarm. This event is identied as Wireless Signal Loss.
By default, indicated as No wireless signal from wless-dev wless-id Tamper x in the SMS text message (wless-dev
= wireless device model; wless-id = 8-character wireless device ID code; x = tamper number). The user will also
be notied by SMS text message as soon as the wireless signal is restored. The default 1-hour period for wireless
signal loss detection is a EN 50131-1 Grade 2 requirement.
In addition, ELDES Conguration Tool software indicates a timer of the last Test Time signal delivered by a paired

and unpaired wireless device. The software will also warn you if the delivery of the Test Time signal is delayed for
a time period 3 times longer than the Test Time period of a paired wireless device. In case the Test Time signal
delivery of an unpaired wireless device is delayed for more than 1,5 minute, a warning will follow and the icon of
such wireless device will be removed from the software’s interface in 10 seconds.
