Kit Contents & System Overview

Control Unit (CU) x 1

The CU plugs directly into a suitable mains
power socket.

When an accessory is triggered, the built-in
siren will sound and the strobe light will flash
to alert you of intrusion into the protected area
and deter intruders.

Pet Friendly PIR Motion Sensor x 1

The Sensor incorporates fuzzy logic to minimize
false alarms from unwanted heat sources. With
the power saving feature, the Sensor will enter
into sleep mode after the second activation within
a 3 minute period, thereby saving power.

The Sensor features pet immunity for small
animals up to 25 kgs.

Wireless Door/Window Sensor x 1

The Door/Window Sensor can be fitted to doors, windows

and any other objects that open and close. The Contact

transmits signals to the Control Unit when the Magnet

mounted adjacent to the Contact is moved away.

Contact Magnet

Keyfob Remote Control x 2

The Remote Control is compact and includes a clip for

attaching to a key-chain/fob. The Remote Control is used

to arm, disarm and part-arm the system, and also to trigger

an emergency alarm (SOS).

PIR Motion Sensor Bracket x 1 Double-sided tape for

Control Unit Operation

Control Unit (CU)

Power/Learn Button Strobe Light

Power On

The Control Unit is set to ‘off’ by default.

To enable the Control Unit, plug the unit into a suitable power outlet and

press the power/learn button, it will beep once indicating that it is enabled.

Power Off

To turn the Control Unit ‘off’ press the power button once. Then press and hold

Setting Entry and Exit Delays

The Sensors should be set in single delay zone before using this function.

Please refer to ‘Grouping Sensors’ on page 10.

Entry Delay (Alarm Delay)

When the Sensors which have been set to single delay zone are triggered, the

Control Unit will alarm after the delay time. If the Sensors that are set to normal

zone or home mode zone are triggered, the Control Unit will alarm immediately.

Press the connect button twice = 15 second delay

Press the connect button three times = 30 second delay

Press the connect button four times = function disabled

Note: Press the button on the Remote Control twice, the system switches to armed

status immediately. For single delay, refer to page 10.

Exit Delay (Arm Delay)

The whole alarm system enters armed status after the delay time.

Connecting and Deleting Accessories

Accessories need to be paired to the Control Unit so that it can receive signals

from them, and sound the alarm. The kit accessories are pre-learnt to the

Control Unit and are ready for use. If the Control Unit does not sound when

the Sensors are triggered, please pair them again. Accessories purchased

separately must be paired to the Control Unit before use.

Pairing a Remote Control

(1) Press the power/learn button on the Control Unit

The Control Unit will beep once, 3 seconds later it will beep once again and

the strobe will flash, the Control Unit is now ready for pairing.

(2) Press any button on the Remote Control

Press any button on the Remote Control, the Control Unit will beep once

indicating successful pairing.

Note: if the Control Unit beeps twice, it indicates that the Remote Control has been paired before.

7

Pairing a Door/Window Sensor

(1) Press the power/learn button on the Control Unit

The Control Unit will beep once, 3 seconds later it will beep once again and

the strobe will flash, the Control Unit is now ready for pairing.

(2) Separate the Transmitter and Magnet

Make sure that the triangle marks on the Transmitter and Magnet are facing

each other and less than 1cm apart, then separate them to more than 2cm

apart. The Control Unit will beep once to indicate successful pairing.

Note: if the Control Unit beeps twice, it indicates that the Door/Window Sensor has been paired

before.

< 1cm

Pairing a PIR Motion Sensor

(1) Press the power/learn button on the Control Unit

The Control Unit will beep once, 3 seconds later it will beep once again and

the strobe will flash, the Control Unit is now ready for pairing.

(2) Press the test button on the PIR Motion Sensor

Press the test button at the back of the PIR Motion Sensor. The Control Unit

will beep once, indicating successful pairing.

Note: if the Control Unit beeps twice, it indicates that the PIR Motion Sensor has been paired before.

Deleting Accessories

To disconnect accessories from the Control Unit, press and hold the

power/learn button on the Control Unit for 6 seconds. The Control Unit will

beep once and the strobe flash twice, indicating that all the accessories have

been deleted

Grouping Sensors

Each Sensor can be set to a different mode. Four different modes can be selected;

Home Mode. Normal Mode, Single Delay Mode or 24-hour Mode.

Important:

(1) Determine which Mode each Sensor should be set to prior to commencing

installation.

(2) If you change the Mode a Sensor is set to, re-register the Sensor to the Control

Unit.

The diagrams below show the four different Mode Settings that can be set up to

each Sensor.

Inside the Sensor are 3 ‘bridges’. The configuration of the bridges will dictate the

Mode that the Sensor is set to. To change the Mode, simply re-position the ‘bridges’

by lifting them up and away from the pins and then push them down onto the pins

in the relevant position required.

Home Mode Normal Mode Single Delay Mode

(delay time)

24-hour Mode

Normal Mode: The supplied Door/Window Sensor is by default set to Normal Mode
