2. Introduction

The Wirefree Burglar Alarm System 1000 can provide protection for flats and detached family houses. It is
simple to install and to operate. The alarm system is armed with a wirefree remote keyfob on exit from
your property and disarmed on return. If, during this time, a movement is detected by the PIR, the siren
will be activated for two minutes. The siren is installed on the outer wall of the building. The control
panel is contained in the siren, so no wiring is needed. Solar cells convert the sun’s energy into electrical
power, while batteries provide power for the system at night or on overcast days.

4. Safety Notes

• The PIRs must not come into contact with rain or humidity. They are suited for indoor use only.

• Before drilling, make sure that there are no electric cables hidden in the wall.

• As the siren is very loud, ensure that it is not operated close to a person’s ear (especially a child’s ear).

• Do not mount the control panel close to metal fittings or other objects which may disturb radio

signal transmission.

• Do not install any damaged units (e.g. by shipping damage). If in doubt, ask your customers service
or supplier. Repairs should be carried out by qualified persons or your customers service only.

• To clean the components, use a dry or moistened cloth. Do not dip the components into water.

• If the alarm system is not operated for a longer period of time, the batteries should be removed.

• Do not let children play with the components, and keep pets off the devices. Make sure that children

do not take individual parts into their mouth.

• Please read the battery safety notes carefully (see section 15.4).

Do not dispose of packaging material, used batteries or products as household waste. Please
use your recycling system. Details are available from your local authority.

5. Declaration of Conformity

Indexa GmbH declares the Wirefree Burglar Alarm SYSTEM 1000
complies with the standards of 1999/5/EG.

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 2

6. How the System Works

The keyfob sends an RF signal which activates or deactivates the siren. In the armed state, when a PIR
senses a movement in its detection path, it sends an RF signal to the siren to activate. The siren then
sounds for two minutes, and the system is in the armed state again. The system may be deactivated at
any time with the keyfob. Always deactivate the system before entering your property.

A delay of 10 seconds enables you to activate or deactivate the system inside your property.

7. Planning your System

Before installing the components, you should plan their positions and check the function of the
components in these positions.

Fig. 2 shows an example:

fig. 2

Important points to consider:

- Do not mount the siren close to metal fittings such as metal downpipes or satellite dishes which may
affect radio signal transmission.

- The siren should be mounted at an outer wall, preferably in south direction, as this is where the solar
cells work best. Otherwise it can be mounted in east or west direction. North direction will work too,
but in this case the batteries will be used more. The solar cells also provide power when the sky is
cloudy. However, you should make sure that the solar cells are not placed in the shade of trees, walls
or roofs. Remember that the sun is in a lower position in the winter than in the summer.

- An anti-tamper switch protects the siren against tampering. However, you should install the siren as
high as possible to make tampering more difficult.

- The siren is for outdoor use, but it should be protected from direct rain.

- The siren should be installed at a place where it can reach the radio signals transmitted by the keyfob.

You should also be able to hear the bleeping sounds of the siren.

- Your property is monitored by PIR sensors located indoors. High security is not necessarily achieved by
a great number of sensors, but by reasonably installing them in key positions. Choose areas that will
probably be entered by a burglar, such as corridors, staircases or entrances.

- The PIRs must be fitted in radio range of the siren. The outdoor range is up to maximum 30m. This
range is reduced by walls and ceilings (especially reinforced concrete) as well as other sources of
interference, e.g. radio transmission from other devices in the frequency range of 433MHz such as
radio headsets. As such disturbances may change within a longer period of time, we recommend that
you install the PIRs within the maximum radio range. Whenever possible, locate the sensors as close
to the siren as you can.

- The PIRs react to warm moving bodies, e.g. a person’s movement within their detection range (up to
approx. 8m at 90° and a height of approx. 2,3m; see fig.3).

- A room can best be monitored, it the PIR is located in one of the corners.

- As the PIR reacts to warmth, it should not be positioned near a heat source such as radiators, air

conditioning, windows, stoves, fax machines or in draughty areas.

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 3

- Pets may also trigger an alarm. When the system is armed, keep pets out of areas protected by PIR
sensors. If this is not possible, install the PIR upside down so that there is an area beneath the rays
left for the pet. In this case it is neccessary to check the detection range especially thoroughly.

- How quick a movement is detected depends also on the ambient temperature. A movement can be
detected more quickly in a cold environment.

- Movements that are at right angles to the PIR are detected more quickly than movements towards
the PIR. Install the PIRs in positions where a burglar would pass the PIR at right angles.

8. Accessories

The kit contains two PIRs and a wirefree remote keyfob. The system can easily be expanded by adding
additional PIRs. Additional keyfobs are also available. You can protect doors and windows with the door
contacts available as accessories. Accessory components must be adjusted to the codes of the original
system before use. This system will not work with wirefree accessories from other wirefree alarm systems
(see section 19 and 21).

9. Coding

For your security, each system is factory preset to an individual code. On the keyfob and PIRs are labels
with a row of numbers comprising of “0” and “1”. It is important that all the components have the same
identical row of numbers.This number is called the house code.

Please note your house code here:

Should you wish to expand your alarm system, you need this house code. If the numbers on the
components are not identical, please ask your supplier.

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 4

10. Fitting the Batteries

We recommend you to use good quality alkaline batteries (e.g. Duracell).

10.1. Keyfob

The keyfob is supplied with a 12V battery. Lightly
loosen the screw at the back side of the casing, and
pull out the transit battery protective tab. Retighten
the screw.
Press either the “ON” or “OFF” button to check that
the LED lights. If the LED does not light, the battery
may need replacing.

10.2 Siren

Remove the cover by releasing the six screws (see fig. 5). Switch the Power On/Off switch to the OFF
position. Check that the anti-tamper jump link covers both pins. (Factory set to cover both pins: anti­tamper circuit disabled.)
Insert six D-cell alkaline batteries (typeLR 20 or MN 1300) in the compartments so they face the same
direction and have the same polarity.
Now the siren must learn the house code from the keyfob. Turn the Power On/Off switch on the keyfob to
ON. The LED illuminates for 20 seconds, signalling the self-learn period.
Press the Power On/Off button on the keyfob within the 20 seconds.Two bleeps are heard, and the LED
goes out to confirm that the siren has learned the house code.
The siren can be operated with six or three batteries. If you use only three batteries, their operational life
is reduced accordingly. The batteries must be located in matched terminals, i.e. AAA or BBB.

fig. 5 fig. 6

10.3 PIR Sensors

Remove the screw to release the back casing. Place a 9V alkaline battery in the connector. Make sure that
both links are covered, so the PIR is in the test mode.

fig. 7 fig. 8

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 5

11. Checking the Components

11.1 Keyfob

To arm the siren, press the ON button on the keyfob once. The siren emits a bleep, and the LED flashes
once. If the siren does not react, keep a minimum distance of 1m to the keyfob and press the ON button
once more.
To disarm the siren, press the OFF button on the keyfob. The siren bleeps twice, and the LED flashes.

11.2 Panic Alarm

The system has a panic alarm facility. Hold the keyfob ON or OFF button down for at least 3 seconds. The
siren will sound for 15 seconds. After this, the siren stops automatically. The siren cannot be silenced with
the keyfob if the panic alarm is activated.

WARNING: The siren is loud. Take precautions to prevent damage to your hearing.

11.3 PIR Sensors

First check the radio link to the siren. Place a
PIR sensor on a table or on the floor, and
wave a hand in front of the lens. The LED
behind the lens will flash (if the LED and the
power saver jump link are still covered). The
LED on the bottom of the siren should also
flash once.
Check that the PIR sensors activate the alarm.
To arm the siren, press the ON button on the
keyfob. The siren emits a bleep, and the LED
flashes once. After 10 seconds the siren emits
a second bleep. Now the system is armed!
Repeat the test with the PIR sensor, the siren

fig. 9

should trigger an alarm after 10 seconds.
To silence and to disarm the siren, press the
OFF button on the keyfob. The siren bleeps
five times, and the LED flashes once.

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 6

12. Installation

12.1 Checking the Function of the System at the Place of Installation

Before installing the PIRs and the siren, repeat the steps described in section 11.3 with the components in
the positions where you want to install them (see “Planning your System”). Hold the components
provisionally in the intended positions, and check the detection range of the PIRs and the radio link to the
siren. If necessary, change the locations. If the system operates correctly, you can continue with the
installation.

12.2 Setting the PIR Sensors to Operating Mode

If you leave the LED operational jump link fitted (it
connects both pins), the LED behind the lens flashes
when the PIR sensor detects a warm moving body. This
is only important when you are installing the PIR. It
helps you to test the detection range at the place of
installation. If you are content with the installation, you
should remove the LED operational jump link and store
it by replacing it on one of the pins. Now the LED does
not flash, and battery power is saved.
When operating the system, you should also move the
power saver jump link from covering both pins, to
covering only one pin. The PIR will send a signal to the
siren when it is triggered, whether the system is armed
or not. Removing the power saver link provides an off­period of approx. five minutes between two radio

fig. 10

12.3 Installation of the PIR sensors

fig. 11

The PIRs can be fixed to the wall with self-adhesive pads
supplied or with screws. Ensure that the casing screw is at the
bottom. If screwing to a flat wall, use the two predetermined
breaking points at the top and the bottom of the back casing. If
screwing to a corner, use the two predetermined breaking
points on the right and on the left of the back casing.

signals to save battery power. If you want to test your
system, you have to wait five minutes to avoid the
effects of the off-period.
After having installed and checked the PIR
sensors, you should remove both power saving
links in the PIR sensor. Otherwise
the batteries will be discharged too quickly.

Break through the holes, and use the back casing as a
template to mark the position for the fixing holes. Warning:
Before drilling, make sure that there are no electric cables
hidden in the wall. Drill the holes and use the masonry plugs
and screws supplied to fix the back casing to the wall. Clip the
PIR to the back casing and secure it with the casing screw.
When using self-adhesive pads, stick them to the back side of
the casing and press the PIRs firmly to the mounting surface.

fig. 12

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 7

12.4 Setting the Siren to Operating Mode

The anti-tamper jump link is factory set in disable mode
with the jump link covering both pins.
If the siren is installed to an even surface, the anti-tamper
spring jump link is pressed down. If the siren is forced
from ist mounting, the anti-tamper switch will trigger an
alarm. If you want to enable the anti-tamper jump link,
make sure the switch stays pressed when the siren is
installed (check when the siren is mounted to uneven
surfaces). Remove the link from both pins and replace it
covering one pin.

With the battery fitted, the siren will sound. Press the OFF
button on the keyfob to silence the alarm. The LED lights
and the siren bleeps five times.
Now fix the cover using the six screws supplied. Do not
press the anti-tamper spring down otherwise it will reset
the alarm to activate. If this happens, press the OFF
button on the keyfob.

12.5 Installing the Siren

Use the template supplied (section 22), and mark the
positions for the four fixing holes. Check by the template
that the anti-tamper spring will not be positioned over a
hollow in the mounting surface. If it does, change the
fixing location or disable the anti-tamper switch by
covering both pins with the link.
Drill the four holes to a depth of 25mm and insert the
masonry plugs. Warning: Before drilling make sure that
there are no electric cables hidden in the wall. Drop the
four fixing screws supplied through the holes in the siren
and keep them in place with tape before you climb the
ladder. (This will help you find the location of the fixing
holes).
With the LED at the bottom, align the siren with the drilled
holes and secure it to the wall with the four fixing screws.
Fit the weatherproof caps over the screw holes.
WARNING: If the anti-tamper switch is enabled, do not lift
the siren off the mounting surface, otherwise the siren will
sound.

14. Anti-Jamming

The System is fitted with an anti-jamming circuit. If it receives an unwanted radio signal for more than 30
seconds, it will trigger the siren for 15 seconds and then revert back to the previous status. The anti­jamming circuit is factory set in disable mode. If you wish to enable the anti-jamming circuit, cover both
pins of LINK 1 (factory set, the link covers only one pin). If the anti-jamming circuit often triggers an
alarm, you probably live in an area with strong radio interferences. In this case you should disable the
anti-jamming circuit by removing LINK 1 and replace it by covering only one pin.

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 9

15. Changing the Batteries

15.1 Keyfob

When the LED on the keyfob does not light when you press the
ON/OFF buttons, the battery may need replacing. Remove the
fixing screw and separate the casing. Ensure the replacement
battery (12V, type 23 A) is correctly fitted (check for polarity),
and replace the case. Take care not to lose the chain retaining
pin.

fig. 19

15.2 PIR Sensors

If a red LED flashes behind the lens, the batteries need replacing. We recommend that you check the
batteries every six months and, if necessary, replace them (9V alkaline batteries). Note: Make sure that the
two links inside the PIRs cover only one pin (see section 12.2).

15.3 Siren

When the siren is operated normally, the LED flashes after each command. If the LED does not flash, the
batteries need to be replaced. The operational life of the batteries in the siren depends on the type of the
batteries, their use and the light conditions for the solar cells. Replace the batteries by six alkaline mono
cells of good quality.

15.4 Battery Safety Notes

- Use only alkaline batteries of good quality. Do not use rechargeable batteries because of their self­discharge.

- Never insert old and new batteries together. (Always replace all batteries at the same time.)

- Use only batteries of the same type.

- Check that the batteries are correctly fitted regarding their polarity.

- Always remove old or used batteries from the components.

- Opening or burning batteries is highly dangerous.

- Never let children play with batteries. Swallowing batteries can lead to serious health problems.

- Do not short the battery poles.

System1000_GB_130705.doc Page 10

16. Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Alarm sounds for no apparent reason. - Check that the batteries in the PIRs and the door contact

are correctly fitted and tightly connected.

When the batteries are almost empty, the
following may occur: If your are at home and the
PIR sensor detects your movements, the system
will become armed and the siren will sound. This
happens even though you have not armed the
system.

- If this happens, replace the batteries in the PIR sensors.
Check that the links have been removed (see section

12.2).

- The anti-tamper switch on the siren may be not fully
depressed. Place something underneath the switch,
reposition the siren or disable the anti-tamper spring
(see section 12.4).

- The anti-jamming circuit reacts to radio interferences.
Remove LINK 1 (see section 14).

The siren does not react to commands
transmitted by the keyfob.

The siren does not trigger an alarm. - Check arming by pressing the ON button.

- Check or change the keyfob battery.

- The distance between keyfob and siren is either too

short or too long.

- Consider that the PIRs have an off-period of 5 minutes.
Enter the detection range after 5 minutes.

- Consider the delay when entering or leaving your
property.

- Check or change the batteries in the siren.

- Check or change the batteries in the keyfob.

- The distance between the PIR or the keyfob and the

siren is too long. Shorten the distance.

- The radio link is disturbed.

17. Maintenance

We recommend that you check the batteries in the PIRs every six months and, if necessary, replace them.
The batteries can be checked by arming the system and triggering the sensor (remember the off-period of
the PIR). The siren should sound.
If the siren does not react or the siren tones are too faint, the batteries in the siren need replacing. We
recommend that you check the batteries in the siren every year.
The casing can be cleaned with a dry or moistened cloth. We recommend that you clean the cover of the
solar panel in the siren at least once a year.

21.3 Checking the Function

Place the door contact and the magnet so that the
arrows are facing towards each other. Arm the
system by pressing the ON button on the keyfob. The
siren bleeps once, and the LED flashes. After ten
seconds, the siren bleeps once again. Now the system
is armed. Pull the magnet away from the door
contact. The LED is green, and the siren should
trigger an alarm after an entry delay of ten seconds.
If the siren does not sound, check the battery and the
code. To silence the alarm and to disarm the system,
press the OFF button on the keyfob. Before installing
the door contact, also check the function in the
position where you want to install it.

21.4 Installation

The magnet is fixed to the door or window and the door contact to the door- or window frame (or vice
versa; this does not affect the function of the door contact). The parts can be installed on the right or left
side of a door or window; this does not affect the function either.
Advice: Installing the door contact on the bottom side of a window allows you to open the window at
the top without an alarm being triggered.
The two arrows can help you to bring the magnet and the door contact into line. The distance between
magnet and door contact should not exceed 5 mm.
