Testing Phone Numbers:
After you have programmed all the phone numbers, you should verify you have
programmed the phone numbers correctly. This can be done by triggering the
alarm silently by entering the duress password, so it dials to the programmed
phone numbers without sounding the alarm.
Note:
You must inform the recipients of the programmed phone numbers, so they know
what to expect when they receive the phone call from the control panel during an
emergency. These recipients should know the password to your control panel if
you expect them to have remote access of your control panel. For more information regarding receiving the emergency call, please refer to page 23.
1. Press [Arm], you should hear beeping from the control panel.
2. Press [3838]. Beeping will stop, and the control panel will start to dial the first number.
3. The called party should receive the call. Pick up the call and say “Hello”, an
emergency message “System Panic” will be played. If the programmed phone
doesn’t ring, ensure the phone number is programmed correctly, or reprogram
this phone number again.
4. After the emergency message has been played for several times (depending on
how many times it was programmed), the called party will hear “Enter Password”.
5. Enter either the master password or secondary password. If the correct
password is accepted, you will hear “Password Accepted”, otherwise, you will
hear “Password Failure”.
6. Press [0][#] on the telephone to hang up.
7. The control panel will start to dial the next programmed phone number.
Note:
- Refer to page 23 [Receiving the Emergency Call] for more info on how to react
to an emergency call.
- The password is treated as a confirmation of the emergency message. Once a
valid password is entered, the control panel will not call that number again, it
will proceed to the next number.
- If any one of the called parties disarms the control panel, the control panel will
not continue to dial the remaining phone numbers.
- After calling all the programmed phone numbers, the control panel will be back
to the previous operation mode.

INSTALLATION
Installing Door / Window Sensors
Window / Door Sensor is used to monitor doors or windows that
open and close. When these doors / windows are open or
closed, the sensors will transmit a signal to the control panel to
notify the user. These sensors consist of 2 parts, one is the
transmitter, the other is the magnet.
Before installing the sensor, remove the battery isolator by pulling out the yellow
tab. Once the isolator is removed, the corresponding zone LED on the control
panel will flash and buzzer will beep. If the magnetic contact is closed, the
beeping will stop.
Note:
- Both Window/Door Sensors have been programmed at the factory. They are
Zone 1 Sensor 1 and Zone 2 Sensor 1. Trigger the sensor and listen to the
beeping and zone LED to determine which one is zone 1 and which is zone 2.
Mounting the Sensor
The transmitters should be mounted on the door frame or window frame by
double sided tape. The magnet should be mounted on the door or window by
either double sided tape or screws. Make sure the magnet is aligned with the
red marking on the transmitter. If the surface of the frame is flat enough, doublesided foam tape is sufficient, otherwise, it is recommended to screw the
mounting plate to the frame, then apply double sided tape. After mounting the
sensor, if the AAA+ logo is inverted, remove the front cover and rotate it so the
AAA+ logo is in the upright position.

sensor to the interior side of the door / window to avoid being damaged or
stolen by non-intended users.
Installing Motion Sensor
The motion sensor is most suitable for guarding a large area such as living room,
family room, or bedroom. It can also be used to monitor a hallway or stairway.
Insert Battery
Undo the screw on the back of the motion sensor and
remove the battery cover. Connect a 9V alkaline battery
to the battery connector. Please note the polarity.
If you are planning to install the motion sensor outdoor,
you should reduce the sensitivity by placing the jumper
at location “2”.
For indoor application, if you want to reduce the
sensitivity, you can change the jumper setting to
“2” as well.
Sensitivity
Jumper Location 1High Sensitivity
Jumper Location 2Low Sensitivity
Caution:
Depending on the environment, if you experience a false trigger when the motion
sensor is placed outdoors, you should relocate it or even place it indoors. Wind
blowing at a tree, or direct sunshine could cause a false trigger. Therefore, if the
location at where the motion sensor is mounted could cause a false trigger, you
should change the mounting location for such sensor.

–13–
INSTALLATION
For outdoor monitoring, please refer to page 30 to program the motion sensor
to Alert Zone.
You may now close the battery cover and
re-insert the screw.
Mount the ball-head joint on the wall with
screws provided. Slide the back of the
sensor into the ball-head joint. The
mounting angle can be adjusted.
Testing
Walk test should be performed after the motion sensor is
mounted. Walk in the detected area, if motion is detected, a
red light inside the sensor will glow. If the red light does not
glow, motion has not been detected and you may need to
re-position the sensor. Ensure you walk test all the locations
that you would like the motion sensor to cover.
Note:
- Perform the walk test after you have inserted the
battery for more than 1 minute.
- Before performing the walk test, the sensor should
not detect any motion.
- After motion is detected once, the sensor will not
be triggered unless no motion is detected for 20
seconds. Therefore, wait for at least 20 seconds
during walk testing between 2 activations.

the control panel will be in panic mode, and start calling the emergency phone
numbers.
Disarming a triggered control panel
If "System Panic" is announced from the control panel after it has been disarmed,
that means the alarm was triggered when it was in armed mode. Follow the
procedures below to set the control panel back to standby mode.
1. If the alarm was caused by sensor(s), there will be flashing LEDs and
beeping indicating which sensor(s) triggered the alarm. You may want to
check the condition of the triggered sensor(s), the sensor(s) may be damaged
if there were break-ins.
2. You need to reset the sensor manually by triggering it twice, i.e. open and
then close a door / window sensor, or walk in front of the motion sensor. The
LED representing that sensor will stop flashing after it receives the signal
from the sensor.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
Advanced Programming allows users to customize the control panel to react
differently under different conditions. Features such as:
- When a sensor is triggered, the control panel can beep or alarm
- Beeping can be terminated automatically after a fixed period of time for some sensors
- Some sensors can be programmed to beep only, never alarm
- When a door is open, turn lights on
- Program additional sensors and remotes

Beep / Alarm
User can customize the audio warning so that when a sensor is triggered, the
control panel may beep or alarm may sound instantly. Depending on whether the
control panel is armed or disarmed, the audio warning is different.
System Disarmed (Alert Mode)
If a zone is set to “Beep”, the control panel will beep when a sensor is triggered,
until the sensor is deactivated. Motion Sensor activation will not cause any
beeping unless the zone for the motion sensor is programmed as a "Bypass
Zone" (see page 30)
If a zone is set to “Alarm”, alarm will sound instantly when a sensor is triggered.
Alarm will stop when the sensor is deactivated, or reaches a 3-minute time out period.

System Armed (Alarm Mode)
If a zone is set to “Beep”, the control panel will give entry / exit delay.
If a zone is set to “Alarm”, the siren will sound immediately without entry delay
- Alarm Mode (System Armed): If a sensor is triggered (i.e. opening a door) with
the alarm setting on, the siren will sound immediately without entry delay, it is
called “Instant Alarm”. The siren will not stop until the siren timeout or a valid
password is entered. Control panel will call the emergency phone numbers to
notify the users of the alarm situation.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
Auto Mute
When a sensor is triggered in alert mode, audio warning will be emitted, either
beep or alarm. For example, if a door is opened, the beep will not stop until the
door is closed. If the door is open for 2 hours, the beep will go on for 2 hours.
There are times that this is not desired. With the auto mute feature enabled, the
beep will go on for only 20 seconds. After that, even if the sensor remains open,
the beep will stop only the zone LED will flash to indicate the sensor is triggered.
Beep will go on again if the sensor is closed and opened again.
Note: Auto Mute only functions when the control panel is in alert mode (disarmed).
If the control panel is in alarm mode (armed), a triggered sensor will result in
entry delay or instant alarm.
Factory Default: This feature was disabled for all zones at the factory.
To enable auto mute feature, follow the instructions below.

Alert Zone (Bypass Zone)
As explained earlier, the control panel can operate in 2 different modes, 1) Alert
Mode, 2) Alarm Mode. In alarm mode, when a sensor is triggered, the control
panel will either give a 30 seconds entry delay, or siren will sound immediately
(with instant alarm). However, there are sensors that you do not want to trigger
the alarm when the system is armed. Such as an outdoor sensor, or any other
sensors that you only want to give you alert notification. Under such circumstances, zone(s) can be programed to react only when the control panel is in
alert mode, these zones will be automatically bypassed when the control panel
is in alarm mode. These zones can also be considered as "Bypass zones".
It is recommend to enable alert zone if:
- You do not consider the sensors in that zone an emergency
- Sensors in that zone are located outdoors
- When nobody is home, you do not want to know the status of the sensor(s) in
that zone
Factory Default: This feature was disabled for all zones at the factory.

Learn Sensors
You can program up to 10 sensors to the control panel. There are 5 zones on
the control panel, each zone can program up to 2 sensors. Before programming a sensor, you must decide which sensor location (zone number and
sensor number) you would like to program the sensor to. It is strongly recommended that you refer to “Sensor Location Selection Guide” before deciding
which sensor location you would like to program the new sensors to. Some
features you may need to consider are: 1) Beep/Alarm setting, 2) auto mute, 3)

You can program up to 10 sensors to the control panel. There are 5 zones and
maximum 2 sesnors per zone. The 4 features mentioned above are Zone
dependent features meaning both sensors in that zone will operate based on
the setting for that zone. So if you program 2 sensors into one zone, those 2
sensors will react in the sam
example, if you enable the Auto-Mute feature for zone 1, both zone 1 sensor 1,
and zone 1 sensor 2 will have this feature enabled. It is not possible to enable a
zone dependent feature for sensor 1 only, but not sensor 2.
Therefore, the followings are some suggestions of how you should select the
sensor location.
