FOREWORD

This Wirefree Alarm System has been designed to
meet with the requirements of BS6799 Class 1 for
Wireless Alarms. All components are designed and
manufactured to provide a high standard of security
protection and long, reliable service. No radio
operating licence is required for this equipment. The
approved radio frequency is not protected from
interference, this frequency may also be used by other
systems and equipment. The radio devices in this
system have been tested by an independent
accredited test laboratory for conformity with the
R&TTE Directive for radio equipment.

The system is designed for ease of installation using
only conventional domestic tools. However, it is
essential that the installer reads and fully understands
the advice and procedures contained in this manual
and plans the system before proceeding with the
installation.

During installation, it is important that the procedures
described in this manual are followed in sequence.

This manual should be retained in a safe place for
future reference.

IMPORTANT

All components, with the exception of the External
Solar Siren are suitable for mounting in dry interior
locations only.

Tools and Equipment Required:

Small Spirit Level
Bradawl

LOCAL AUTHORITY REGULATIONS

Depending on your location within the country, you
may be required, by law, to notify the Local Authorities
and Police of your new alarm installation.

Local Authority requirements differ from area to area,
therefore, we recommend that you contact your Local
Borough Environmental Officer to obtain full details of
your area's requirements.

SYSTEM SECURITY

This system has been designed to both detect
intruders and act as a strong deterrent to would-be
intruders when installed correctly.

Please remember that given adequate knowledge and
time it is possible to overcome any alarm system and
we therefore recommend that an Intruder Alarm is
used in conjunction with good physical protection
such as security window and door locks.

All units in the system are encoded to operate
together using an 8 bit House Code which is
configured by the user/installer to provide the unique
identification code for your installation. The system
House Code can be changed at any time by the user.

IMPORTANT: All units forming part of your alarm
system must be set to the same House Code.

The system is operated from the Control Panel or one
or more Remote Control units (available as an
upgrade accessory). Care should be taken to ensure
that the User Access code for the Control Panel does
not become known to other people or any Remote
Control Unit(s) are not lost, as this will compromise
the security of your system. In either event the
system house code and User Access code should be
changed as soon as possible.

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
electricity cables and water pipes, the use of a
cable/pipe locater maybe advisable if in doubt.

When using ladders, ensure that they are positioned
on a firm stable surface at the correct angle and
suitably secured before use.

The use of ear defenders is advisable when working in
close proximity to the Siren due to the high sound
level produced by this device.

SYSTEM ARMING

The system has a full ‘Arm’ and a ‘Part-Arm’ mode.
Full ARM will arm all zones while the ‘Part-Arm’
mode will only arm the zones that are enabled for
‘Part-Arm’.

For example:

The system could be configured such that during night
time, ‘Part-Arm’ would arm only zones protecting the
lower floor and outbuildings, leaving the upper floor
free for movement without triggering the alarm.

However, when the property is left un-occupied,
the full ‘Arm’ mode will arm all zones to protect the
entire property, (i.e. upper and lower floors and
outbuildings).

ZONES

The system incorporates 6 wirefree Alarm Zones for
the connection of the system detectors that are
used to independently monitor different areas of the
property. In addition to standard intruder protection,
each zone may also be configured to operate in one of
three other modes:

- ‘Personal Attack’ mode provides 24 hour monitoring

of any Personal Attack (PA) switches incorporated
into the system.

- ‘24-hour Intruder’ mode provides 24 hour intruder

protection for areas where continuous monitoring is
required, (e.g. gun cupboards).

- ‘Fire’ mode provides 24 hour monitoring of any

Fire/Smoke detectors incorporated into the system.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAY

Each zone can be programmed to be Armed in either
Instant or Delay mode.

Usually the zone covering the main entrance door and
the route to and from the Control Panel would be
configured in Delay mode. This allows time for the user
to exit the property after setting the system at the
Control Panel or to Disarm the system before an alarm
condition is triggered when re-entering the property.
The remaining zones would be configured as Instant
allowing them to initiate an alarm immediately a
detector on the zone is triggered.

Delay Armed zones will not become fully armed until
after the Entry/Exit delay period has expired. When a
detector on a Delay Armed zone is triggered, an alarm
condition will not be triggered until after the Entry/Exit
period has elapsed. If the system is not disarmed
during the delay period, an alarm condition will occur
when the delay period expires.

Instant Armed zones are immediately able to initiate
an alarm as soon as the system begins to arm.

ZONE LOCKOUT

If a detector on an active zone is triggered while the
system is armed, an alarm condition will occur. After
the programmed alarm duration has expired the alarm
will stop and the system will automatically reset.
Subsequent detectors triggered will again initiate an
alarm condition. If a single zone initiates an alarm
condition three times then that zone will be ‘Locked
Out’ and any further alarm signals from that zone will
be ignored until the system is disarmed.

Note: The ‘Zone Lockout’ feature can be disabled if
required.

VOICE DIALLER

This system incorporates a telephone voice dialer which
is used to call for help and/or notify the user that the
system has been triggered and an alarm has occurred.

If the Voice Dialer is enabled and an alarm condition
occurs, the system will call for help using your
recorded alarm message and up to four telephone
numbers. When the telephone voice dialer is
activated it will call the first enabled number in the
dialing sequence and replay the recorded alarm
messages for the configured ‘Play Time’. The
recipient must acknowledge the message by
pressing the button on their telephone keypad.
If the call is unanswered or an acknowledgment
signal is not received then the next active number in
the dialing sequence will be called. The dialer will
continue calling each number in turn until either all
numbers in the sequence have been dialed the set
number of times or the dialing sequence is cancelled
by an acknowledged signal from the recipient.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

TAMPER PROTECTION

All system devices (except any Remote Control Units)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorised attempts to interfere with the
device. Any attempt to remove the battery cover from
any device (except a Remote Control) or to remove the
Solar Siren or Control Panel from the wall will initiate
an alarm condition (unless the system is in Test or
Programming modes), even if the system is Disarmed.

JAMMING DETECTION

In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the
radio channel used by your alarm system, a special
jamming detection function is incorporated into
the Control Panel and Solar Siren. If this feature
is enabled, and the radio channel is jammed
continuously for 30 seconds, when the system is
armed, the Solar Siren will emit a pre-alarm series
of rapid bleeps for 5 seconds. If the jamming
continues for a further 10 seconds or more a full
alarm condition will occur. In addition if the system
is jammed for more than three periods of 10 seconds
in a 5 minute interval, this will also generate a
Full Alarm condition. The jamming detection features
in the Control Panel and Solar Siren operate
independently.

The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to
permanently scan for jamming signals. However, it
is possible that it may detect other local radio
interference operating legally or illegally on the same
frequency. If it is planned to operate the jamming
detection feature we recommend that the system
is monitored for false jamming alarms for at least
2 weeks prior to leaving the Jamming Detection
function permanently enabled.

BATTERY MONITORING

In addition to the battery monitor and low-battery
indicators in each device, the Control Panel will also
indicate a low battery status within any Passive Infra­Red or Magnetic Contact Detector on the system.

SYSTEM HOUSE CODE

In order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to operate
or disarm your system, you must configure your system
to accept radio signals only from your own system
devices. This is done by setting a series of eight
miniature (DIP) switches in all devices (except the

Control Panel) to the same ON/OFF combination
(the House Code) selected by the user/installer. The
Control Panel is then programmed to operate only
with devices set to this House Code. All detectors
and Remote Control Unit(s) must be configured with
the same House Code in order for the system to
operate correctly.

Inside the Siren, Detectors and Remote Control Unit is
a series of 8 DIP switches.

The House Code is set up by moving each of the
8 switches in each device to the same randomly
selected ON/OFF sequence. When setting the DIP
switches, ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ fully into
position. Use the tip of a ballpoint pen or a small
screwdriver to move each switch in turn.

Note: It is recommended that the system House Code
is always reset to a code other than the factory default.

The following example below shows a typical property
incorporating the suggested positions for the External
Siren, Control Panel, PIR and Magnetic Detectors for

optimum security. Use this as a guide for your installation
in conjunction with the recommendations contained in
this manual for planning your intruder alarm system.

Before attempting to install your Alarm System it is
important to study your security requirements and plan
your installation.

The alarm system may be extended to provide even
greater protection by fitting additional PlR Movement
Detectors and Magnetic Contact Detectors as required.

The Remote Control Unit(s) are used to Arm, Part-Arm
and Disarm the system.

The Remote Control Unit also incorporates a Personal
Attack (PA) switch. Activating the PA switch on the
side of the Remote Control will immediately trigger an
alarm (unless the Control Panel is in Test or Program
Modes) even if the system is disarmed. The alarm can
be cancelled by pressing the ’DISARM’ button on the
Remote Control or via the Control Panel.

Any number of Remote Control Units can be used with
your system, providing they are all coded with the
system House Code (DIP switch settings).

The Remote Control is powered by a CR2032 type
Lithium cell which under normal conditions will have an
expected life in excess of 1 year. Under normal battery
conditions the LED on the Remote Control will only
illuminate when a button is pressed. However, under
low-battery conditions this LED will continue to flash
after the button has been released. When this occurs
the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.

CONFIGURING THE REMOTE
CONTROL

1.

Remove the rear cover by undoing the small screw
on the rear of the Remote Control and keeping it
safe for later.

2.

Select and record (in the Alarm Record section of
this manual) a random combination of ‘ON’ and
‘OFF’ positions for the DIP switches. This will
become the system House Code that enables all
devices to communicate with the Control Panel.

IMPORTANT:

The House Code for your system

should be changed from the factory default setting.

3.

Ensure that the Jumper Link located immediately
below the House Code DIP switches is fitted in
position for use with this alarm system.

4.

Insert the battery under the clip ensuring that the

+ terminal faces upwards away from the Circuit

Board.

5. Replace the rear cover and fixing screw. Do not over
tighten the screw as this could damage the thread.

Testing the Remote Control:

6. Press the button. The Transmit LED should
illuminate while the button is pressed and
extinguish within 1 second of releasing the button.

7. Press the and buttons in turn to
ensure that the Transmit LED illuminates as before.

POSITIONING THE CONTROL PANEL

When choosing a suitable location for the Control
Panel, the following points should be considered.

1.

The Control Panel should be located in a position
out of sight of potential intruders and in a safe
location, but easily accessible for system
operation.

2.

The Control Panel should be mounted on a sound
flat surface to ensure that the rear tamper switch
on the Control Panel is closed when the Panel is
mounted. The Control Panel should be mounted at
a convenient height of between 1.5 and 2m and in
a position where it will be seen each day.

Note: If small children are in the household, a
further consideration should be given to keeping
the units out of their reach.

3.

It is recommended that the Control Panel should
be positioned such that the Exit/Entry tone
(emitted by the Control Panel) can be heard from
outside the property.

4.

The Control Panel should be mounted within a
protected area so that any intruder cannot reach
the Control Panel without opening a protected door
or passing through an area protected by a PIR
movement detector when the system is armed.

5.

The Control Panel must be located within reach of
a mains socket.

6.

If the telephone voice dialler is to be used then the
Control Panel will need connecting to a convenient
telephone point.

7.

Do not locate the Control Unit closer than 1m to any
large metallic object, (e.g. mirrors, radiators, etc) as
this may affect the radio range of the Control Panel.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL

1. Undo the two captive fixing screws on top of the
panel and open the cover. The cover is hinged along
the bottom edge.

2. Unclip and remove the two back-up batteries on
either side of the panel.

3. Hold the Control Panel in position on the wall and
mark the positions of the four fixing holes. Remove
the Panel and drill four 5mm holes and fit the 25mm
Wall Plugs.

Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product are
not suitable for plasterboard walls, if mounting the
Control Panel onto plasterboard use proprietary
wall plugs.

components and invalidate the guarantee.

4. Fit two 18mm No.4 screws into the top holes until
almost fully home and hang the Control panel over
these screws using the two keyhole slots in the top
corners of the panel casing.

5. Route the cable from the Power Supply Unit up
behind and on the right hand side of the Control
Panel and connect the plug to the DC power socket
in the panel. Ensuring that the cable is not trapped
between the panel and the wall.

6. Fix the Panel to the wall using two 18mm No.4
screws in the lower two fixing holes in the panel and
tighten the upper fixing screws until they just grip
the casing. Do not over tighten the fixing screws as
this could damage or distort the casing.

7. Ensure that the "Reset" and the "Hard-Wired Siren
tamper detect" jumper links are set in the OFF
position.

8. Connect battery leads to both back-up batteries
and refit batteries.

Battery 1 (left): Red lead to +ve battery terminal

Blue lead to –ve battery terminal

Battery 2 (right): Blue lead to +ve battery terminal

Black lead to –ve battery terminal

IMPORTANT: Take care when connecting battery
leads to the batteries as connecting incorrectly
could damage the batteries or the Control Panel.

Note: The Power LED may flash to indicate that the
unit is being operated from the back-up batteries
and that mains supply is not present.

9. Close the lid of the Control Panel and tighten the
captive fixing screws.

10.

Plug in and switch ON the Power Supply Unit, (the
