Protector P500S

Solar Wirefree Alarm System

FOREWORD

Your decision to purchase a Protector P500S Wirefree
Alarm System represents a major and sensible step
towards total protection of your premises, its contents
and its occupants.

The Protector P500S Wirefree Alarm System complies
with the requirements of BS6799 Class 1, 2 & 3 for
Wire-free Alarms. All components are designed and
manufactured to provide a high standard of security
protection and long, reliable service. In addition, the
radio devices are tested and approved by the Radio
Regulatory division of the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) to ensure that they will not interfere with
other radio equipment. No radio licence is required,
however, the approved radio frequency is not protected
from interference and may be withdrawn from use at
any time subject to the DTI giving users an appropriate
notice period.

The Protector P500S Wirefree Alarm System is
purposely designed for installation by non-experienced
people using only conventional domestic tools.
However, it is essential that the installer reads and fully
understands the advice and procedures contained in
this manual before proceeding with the installation.
This manual should be retained for future reference.

During installation, it is also important that the
procedures are followed in sequence.

IMPORTANT NOTE

All components, with the exception of the External
Solar Siren are only suitable for internal use.

SYSTEM SECURITY

This system has been designed to both detect intruders
and act as a strong deterrent to would-be intruders.
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 windows and door locks.

The system is operated by entering an Access Code at
the Control Unit keypad. Protection is provided within
the system to prevent anyone trying to establish your
Access Code by randomly pressing keys on the
keypad. If 16 random keys are pressed the Control Unit
will lock out and ‘Bleep’ for 15 seconds. If this occurs
3 times without a valid code being entered, a Full Alarm
will occur.

LOCATION

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

1. Ensure that the Control Unit is within a protected area
with the system Armed, ie: an intruder cannot reach
the Control Unit without opening a protected door or
being detected by a movement detector.

2. The position selected must be within reach of a 13A
socket.

3. The Control Unit should be close to the entry/exit
door but not visible from the door or windows.

4. Do not locate the Control Unit closer than 1 metre to
any large metallic object eg: mirrors, radiators, fridge­freezers, etc.

5. Locate the Control Unit in an easily accessible
position, between 1.5 and 2 metres above floor level
and in a position where it will be seen each day.

INSTALLATION

1. Undo the two front cover retaining screws and
hinge the Control Unit cover down.

2. Using the paper template mark the four fixing
holes, ensuring that the template is level. Note that
the bottom fixings are keyhole type, so the holes
should be marked through the top of the keyhole
and that the bottom left hand fixing is behind the
siren transmitter module.

3. Drill the four fixing holes & fully insert the plastic
wall plugs supplied.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Do not drill the fixing holes with the Control Unit in
position, as the resulting dust could seriously affect
the system electronics and invalidate the guarantee.

4. Insert the two lower screws almost fully in, slide the
Control Unit lower keyhole slots over the screws &
push down into position. Insert the top two screws
& tighten all screws fully ensuring that the unit is
fitted flush & firmly to the wall.

Be careful when fitting the bottom right-hand screw
not to damage the ribbon cable and ensure that the

control unit sounder plug is plugged into the socket at
the bottom right.

SETTING THE SYSTEM HOUSE CODE

In order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to
activate or disarm your system, you must set your
system to accept encrypted radio signals only
from your own Detectors. This is done by setting a
series of miniature switches in the Control Unit and
Detectors to a special combination selected by
yourself. (Similar to setting a combination lock).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In order for all detectors to communicate with the
Control Unit, it is essential that the same House Code

is used for all components (except the Solar Siren).
To set the system House Code proceed as follows.

Using a small screw driver or ball-point pen, set the first
eight miniature switches (numbered 1-8) on the House
Code switch block in any random combination of either
‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. Take note of the combination selected,
as it will be required when setting the Detectors, (and
other accessories, when purchased).

DO NOT set or adjust the miniature switches on the
Solar Siren transmitter at this stage.

SETTING THE ENTRY/EXIT DELAY TONE

Your alarm system has an adjustable delay timer which
delays activation of the system after you have Armed it
to allow time to close the exit door on leaving, and to
Disarm the system on entry. Setting of the entry/exit
delay timer is explained later in this manual. During the
entry/exit delay time, the Control Unit sounder will emit
either a continuous tone or two short ‘bleep' tones at the
beginning of the delay time and two at the end (Semi­Silent) depending on the setting of the miniature switch
number 9 on the Control Unit House Code switch block.
Set switch number 9 to ‘ON’ for the ‘Semi-Silent’ short
‘Bleep’ tone, or to ‘OFF’ for a continuous tone.

JAMMING DETECTION

In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the radio
channel used with your alarm system a special jamming
detection circuit is incorporated into the Control Unit. If
this feature is selected, and the radio channel is jammed
continuously for 30 seconds, when the system is Armed
or Part Armed, the Control Unit 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 on the Tamper Zone.

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 Detect function ‘ON’ permanently. To select
the Jamming Detect function simply set the J.D. Link on
the Control Unit PCB to ‘ON’

INITIAL POWER UP

MAINS ADAPTOR

A DC Mains Adaptor and Cable is supplied with the
equipment. To fit the Mains Adaptor, proceed as follows:

1. Lead the cable along the cable track or pass the
cable through the knockout in the rear of the casing.

2. Plug the jack plug into the jack socket on the printed
circuit board as shown below. Close the Control Unit
cover and hold it firmly closed whilst securing the
two retaining screws.

Note: Leave the cover open if the optional back-up
battery is to be fitted.

3. Plug the adaptor into a 13A socket.

4. The Control Unit will emit a continuous bleep
while the four indicator lights illuminate sequentially
for 2 seconds.

5. The green power indicator will now illuminate steady,
indicating that the Control Unit is powered from the
mains supply. (It is normal for the adaptor to appear
warm to the touch when in use).

OPTIONAL BACK-UP BATTERY

The Control Unit has provision for an optional 1.2Ahr
rechargeable back-up battery. The purpose of the
battery is to supply emergency power to the Control Unit
in the event of a failure of the mains supply. The back­up battery is capable of providing emergency power to
the Control Unit for a period of approx. 8 hours and will
automatically recharge on restoration of the supply. The
system will operate normally under mains supply only.
However, for additional protection we recommend that
the optional back-up battery is fitted.

powered by battery only.

3. Close the Control Unit cover and hold it firmly closed
whilst securing the two retaining screws.

SETTING YOUR ACCESS
CODE

The Control Unit is supplied with a preset Access
Code of .

However, for security reasons, it is essential that you
immediately change the Access Code to another four­digit number which only you and other occupants of
the premises know (usually a number with a personal
significance is easier to remember).

IMPORTANT NOTE

If the Control Unit is powered down, (eg no
mains or battery) the Access Code will return to

and you will have to re-programme

it again to your own Access Code. If you should forget
your Access Code, you will need to completely power
down the control unit and then re-apply power to the
Control Unit. However, you may change the Access
Code at any time using the following procedure (except
when in Test mode).

To change your Access Code, open the hinged
keypad cover.

1. Press

2. Enter

or your current Access

Code if applicable.

3. Press

4. Enter new Access Code

5. Press

6. The Control Unit Siren will emit two rapid ‘bleeps’
to indicate acknowledgment of new Access Code.

7. From now on, only the new Access Code will
operate the system.

Note: Do not pause more than 5 seconds between
pressing keys, otherwise the code change will not be
accepted and you will need to start the programming
sequence again from the beginning.

SETTING THE CONTROL
UNIT TO TEST MODE

Before installing the Passive Infra Red or Magnetic
Contact Detectors you should set the Control Unit to
Test mode. This will help to ensure that the correct
House Code is used and to establish the radio range.

1. Enter at the keypad.

2. The system is now in Test mode.

3. The yellow indicator light will be illuminated.

4. When a Detector is operated, the Control Unit will
sound for 3 seconds and the red Alarm Activated
light will illuminate and indicate the zone of operation.

The Control Unit should be left in Test mode whilst the
detectors and other accessories are set up and
installed. However, if you wish to exit the Test mode,

enter at the Control Unit to

revert to normal, Disarmed mode.

SETTING THE EXIT, ENTRY
AND AUTO STOP TIMERS

EXIT TIME

When you arm the system, by entering your Access
Code at the Control Unit keypad, the system will
ignore Detectors for a preset delay time to allow you
to leave the premises. During the delay period (Full
Arm or Part Arm), the Control Unit sounder will emit
either two short bleeps at the beginning and two short
bleeps at the end of the delay period (Semi-Silent
Mode) or a continuous tone throughout the delay
period, depending on the setting of miniature switch 9
in the Control Unit as previously described.

WIREFREE PASSIVE INFRA
RED DETECTORS(PIR's)

Two Passive Infra Red Detectors are supplied in the
standard package. However, additional Passive Infra
Red Detectors can be purchased separately, if required.
Passive Infra Red Detectors are designed to detect
movement within a protected area. The Detector
element detects differences in Infra Red radiation when a
person moves within the protected area. If movement is
detected, a radio signal is transmitted to the Control Unit
to activate the alarm.

The recommended position for a Passive Infra Red
Detector is in the corner of a room mounted between 2
and 2.5 metres from the floor. At this height, the detector
will detect movement up to 6 metres at 110° and 12
metres at 60° depending on adjustment. Also, in this
position, the 110°/60° fan-shaped detection patterns can
normally offer greater protection than mounting on a flat
wall. Before selecting a position for a Passive Infra Red
detector the following points should be noted:

1. Do not position Detector facing a window or
direct sunlight. Passive Infra Red Detectors are not
suitable for use in conservatories or draughty areas.

2. Do not position Detector directly above any source
of heat, eg. fire, radiators, boiler etc.

3. Where possible, keep pets out of areas protected
by Passive Infra Red Detectors. If this is not
possible, alternative mounting arrangements or a
special Pet Lens may be required.

4. Where possible, mount the Detector so that the
logical path of an intruder would cut across the fan
patterns rather than directly towards the Detector.

Any number of Passive Infra Red Detectors can be
used with your system, providing they are all coded
with the system House Code and are within the radio
range of the Control Unit. To install and set the
Passive Infra Red Detectors, proceed as follows.

INSTALLING THE WIREFREE PASSIVE
INFRA RED DETECTORS (PIR’s)

1. Remove the battery cover by inserting a coin
under the cover lip and twisting open. Remove the
fixings pack.

2. Remove the screw (in the battery compartment)
holding the wall bracket to the Detector.

3. Slide the bracket up and remove the wall bracket
from the Detector as shown.

4. Hold the wall bracket in position and mark the two
mounting holes. (If corner mounting, drill pilot holes
in the chamfers as shown). Drill two 4mm diameter
holes and insert the plastic wall plugs and screw the
bracket to the wall using the screws supplied.

Note: A special Pet Lens (order code PL1) is
available direct from Response Electronics PLC (Tel
01372 848586) for installation into the Detector at 2.5
metres mounting height to allow for pet movement.
Alternatively, mount the Detector upside down, ie.
with the battery compartment upwards, at a height of
1 metre from the floor. This will shorten the detection
range but allow pets to move about the floor area
without activating the Detector.

View inside PIR Detector battery compartment

SETTING THE WIREFREE PASSIVE
INFRA RED DETECTORS (PIR’s)

ENSURE THAT THE CONTROL UNIT IS STILL IN
TEST MODE.

1. Using a small screwdriver or ball-point pen, set the
miniature switches 1-8 to the same combination of
‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ as the House Code switches in the
Control Unit.

2. If the passive Infra-Red detector has to be active in
the ‘Part Armed’ mode or if activation of the detector
has to be delayed during entry (Part or Full Armed)
set miniature switches 9 and 10 to ‘ON’. Otherwise
set switch 9 ‘ON’ and switch 10 ‘OFF’.

Note: Any other combination of switches 9 and 10
will not operate with your P500S Control Unit.

3. The PIR incorporates an anti false-alarm feature
designed to compensate where the Detector may be

affected by environmental changes, eg. insects, air
temperature, etc. This feature is called ‘Pulse Count’
and may be selected for one or two pulses.

The recommended Pulse Count is one. In cases of
extreme environmental problems or if unattributable
false alarms are experienced, it may be necessary to
select Two Pulse Count detection.

Note: The higher the Pulse Count, the more paces an
intruder will have to move before triggering the alarm.

To select the required pulse count move the switch
on the side of the detector:

UP = Two Pulse Detection

DOWN = One Pulse Detection.

4. Fit the 9 Volt Alkaline battery supplied to the battery
terminals, but do not replace the battery cover.

Note: As soon as the battery is connected, a two
tone Alarm will be emitted from the Control Unit siren
for 3 seconds and the Tamper/PA Zone LED will
illuminate. This confirms that the House Code is
correct and that the Detector is within radio range of
the Control Unit.

5. After the battery has been connected for
approximately 40 seconds, the Infra Red Detector
will become active causing the LED above the
detector window to flash every time movement is
detected. Where Two Pulse Count detection has
been selected, the LED will be dim on the first
detection and brighter on the second.

The Control Unit will also emit a 3 second alarm tone
each time the Detector senses movement and the
appropriate Zone LED indication will be given to
confirm the Zone selected (instant or delay).

6. By walking into the protected area the Detector will now
be triggered each time the Detector senses movement.
If necessary re-adjust the detection distance by angling
the Detector up or down on its wall bracket.

7. Replace the battery cover on the Detector.

Note: When the Detector is fully installed, ie. battery
cover is refitted, the Unit will not detect movement
for approx. 40 seconds after each activation. In
normal operation, with the battery cover on, the red
LED, above the detector window, will NOT illuminate
upon detection of movement.

Leave the Control Unit in Test mode and proceed to
install your remaining Detectors.

number of Magnetic Contact Detectors can be used
with your system, providing they are all coded with the
system House Code and are within radio range of the
Control Unit. Magnetic Contact Detectors can be
fitted to protect doors or windows as required.

To set the House Code and fit the batteries, proceed
as follows:

ENSURE THAT THE CONTROL UNIT IS STILL IN
THE TEST MODE

1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting off.

DO NOT use a screw driver to lever off.

2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and sliding the connectors off of the
printed circuit board.

3 Slide the batteries supplied into the battery holder

ensuring that the positive (+) side is uppermost on
each battery as it is installed.

4. Carefully refit the battery holder into the Detector
ensuring that the spring connectors slide onto
either side of the circuit board.

5 Using a small screwdriver or ball-point pen, set the

miniature switches 1-8 to the same combination of
‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ as the House Code switches in the
Control Unit.

Note: Once the House Code is set, press and release
the detector anti-tamper switch. A 3 second, two
tone alarm will be emitted from the Control Unit
Siren. This confirms that the House Code is correct.

6. If the Magnetic Contact Detector has to be

active in the Part Armed mode, or if activation
of the detector has to be delayed during entry
(Part or Full Armed) set the miniature switches
9 and 10 ‘ON’. Otherwise set switch 9 ‘ON’ and
switch 10 ‘OFF’.

Note: Any other combination of switches 9 and 10
will not operate with your P500S Control Unit.

7. Hold the Contact Detector at the correct position
on the door or window then press and release
the anti-tamper switch. Providing the Detector
is within radio range of the Control Unit, the two

Magnet to the door and the Detector to the door
frame (or vice-versa, if necessary). Ensure that the
arrows on the Magnet and Detector are pointing
towards each other and that the gap between the
Detector and Magnet is less than 5 mm. When
using the screws for mounting the Detector, ensure
that the small countersunk screw is used within the
battery compartment and that the screw is driven
flush with the inside of the casing.

9. Refit the battery holder (the Control Unit will emit a
3 second Tamper Alarm).

10 .Refit the battery cover by placing it over the

batteries and sliding it on.

11 .Test the operation by opening the door/window.

The LED on the Detector will light for approximately
1 second and then extinguish each time the
Magnet is moved away from the Detector, and the
Control Unit will emit a 3 second alarm tone each
time the Detector is operated.

When you have completed installing all your
Detectors, take the Control Unit out of Test mode

by entering

at the Control Unit.

EXTERNAL SOLAR SIREN

The Solar Siren Unit should be fitted to the outside of
the building in a position that is clearly visible and at a
height which is relatively inaccessible to an intruder.

The Solar Siren incorporates a solar panel which will
maintain a charge to the integral 6 Volt 1.2Ahr sealed
lead acid rechargeable battery during daylight hours.
During the night, a negligible amount of energy is
released by the rechargeable battery to operate the
Siren. The Solar Siren is self maintainable during
darkness and long winter periods.

LOCATION

To provide the optimum amount on daylight to the
Solar Panel, you should ideally mount the Solar Siren
on a south facing wall. However, an easterly or
westerly position will suffice.

Although the Solar Siren is designed to work on any
aspect wall, for optimum performance you should
refrain from siting the Unit on a north facing wall
where possible. Shadows cast by neighbouring
walls, trees and roof overhangs should also be
avoided. Where applicable, the Solar Siren should be
positioned a minimum of twice the width of the eaves
overhang below the eaves. Remember that in winter
the sun is lower in the sky and you should avoid
winter shadows where possible.

the Solar Siren. It is therefore important to mount the
Solar Siren a minimum distance of 1m radius away
from any external or internal metalwork, ie. external
drain pipes, gutters and internal radiators, mirrors etc.

INSTALLATION

Remove the holding screw from the base of the housing
and carefully hinge off the front cover. All electronic
components are housed within the front cover.

Use the rear back-plate as a template to mark the
position of the four fixing holes on the external wall. Drill
four 5mm diameter holes and insert the plastic wall plugs.
Mount the back-plate using the four screws provided.

SETTINGS

Undo the three screws holding the miniature switch
cover in place and remove the cover.

SIREN CODE

Under the cover you will find a series of two position
miniature dip switches.

Using a ball-point pen set the miniature dip switches
1-8 to a random sequence of ‘ON’s’ and ‘OFF’s’.
Make a note of the Siren Code miniature switch
settings as this will be needed when setting the siren
transmitter in the Control Unit.

DO NOT SET THE “SIREN CODE” TO THE “HOUSE
CODE” USED IN THE DETECTORS.

Note: When the Solar Siren is viewed as shown above

the miniature switches are ‘upside down’.

ALARM DURATION

This is the maximum length of time that the Solar Siren
alarm will sound for, following activation. Alarm duration
can be set for either 3 or 15 minutes. Set

miniature

switch 9 ‘OFF’ for 3 minutes or ‘ON’ for 15 minutes.

Refit the miniature switch cover securely.

Note: Following activation into alarm condition the
Solar Siren will continue to sound until either the Control
Unit is Disarmed, or the Control Unit Auto Stop time
expires, or until the Solar Siren Alarm Duration Time
expires; whichever occurs first.

INITIAL POWER-UP

Once you have completed setting your Siren Code and
Alarm Duration Time, connect the 9 Volt PP3 initial
Power-up Battery to the clip-on connectors. Connect
the Rechargeable Battery to the charging leads red to
red (+) and black to black (-).

Hinge the front cover locating tabs over the top edge of
the back-plate, push the base of the Siren cover into
place and secure with the lower fixing screw.

The installation of your Solar Siren is now complete.

Note: Once the batteries have been connected, the
Unit will be operational and it is important that the Solar
Panel receives sufficient light to maintain the battery
charge. Also, the Unit should not be repeatedly set into
alarm during installation/testing as this could rapidly
drain the battery.

SETTING THE SOLAR
SIREN TRANSMITTER
MODULE

A small radio transmitter is incorporated within the
Control Unit to operate and control the external Solar
Siren.

To set the transmitter and operate the Solar Siren
proceed as follows:

1. Turn the Control Unit ‘OFF’ by entering

at the Control Unit keypad. The green Power
indicator light will extinguish.

2. With the Control Unit in ‘OFF’ mode, undo the
cover retaining screws and hinge the Control Unit
front cover down.

3. Set the miniature dip switches 1-8 on the Siren
transmitter module (at the bottom of the Control
Unit) to the same sequence of ‘ON’s and ‘OFF’s as
set in the Solar Siren (the “Siren Code”).

DO NOT SET TO THE “HOUSE CODE” USED IN
THE DETECTORS

4. Close the Control Unit front cover and secure the
two retaining screws.

5. Turn the Control back ‘ON’ by entering

at the Control Unit keypad.

Note: Once the system has been installed, setting the
Control Unit to the ‘Test Mode’ will prevent the external
Siren from activating during testing. This will allow you
to test the system without causing unnecessary
disturbance.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

FULLY ARMING THE SYSTEM

When leaving the premises, the system must be Fully
Armed. However, before doing so, check that all
windows are closed and locked, all protected doors
are closed, and Passive Infra-Red Detectors are not
obstructed. Ensure that pets are restricted to areas
not protected by Passive Infra-Red Detectors, or that
suitable precautions have been taken to allow for pets.
To Fully Arm the system, hinge open the keypad cover,

and enter on the keypad

then close the keypad cover. If the system exit tone has
been set for ‘continuous’ the Control Unit Sounder will
emit a continuous tone for the duration of the preset exit
time, arming automatically when the exit time expires.

If the system exit tone has been set for ‘Semi Silent’,
the control unit sounder will emit two short bleep
tones when the button is pressed and two short
bleep tones on expiry of the exit time.

All occupants must leave the premises before the exit
time has expired. If for any reason you are unable to
leave the premises before the exit time has expired,
you will need to Disarm the system, then re-arm.

Failure to do so will cause a Full Alarm if any protected
door is opened or movement is detected by a Passive
Infra-Red Detector.

Note: When Fully Armed, the Control Unit top green
light will be constantly illuminated. (Refer to page 3).

PART ARMING THE SYSTEM

If you are remaining in the premises, you may Arm
only the PIR Detectors, and Magnetic Contact
Detectors with miniature switches 9 and 10 set to
‘ON’, by selecting ‘Part Arm’. This will permit free
access to areas where the Detectors are NOT set to
operate on Part Arm.

To Part Arm the system hinge open the keypad cover,
and enter on the keypad,

then close the keypad cover.

The exit tone emitted when the button is pressed
will be the same as when fully arming the system
and is dependant on the setting of miniature switch
number 9 in the Control Unit. The system will set on
‘Part Arm’ on expiry of the preset exit time.

All occupants must leave any protected areas before
expiry of the exit time. If for any reason you are unable
to leave the protected areas within the exit time, you
will need to disarm the system then re-arm. Failure to
do so will cause a Full Alarm if any protected door is
opened or movement is detected by a Passive Infra
Red Detector set to operate in Part Arm.

Note: When set on ‘Part Arm’ the Control Unit top
green light will be flashing. (See page 3).

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

Upon entering the premises or protected area, the
entry tone will be emitted from the control unit sounder
(Continuous or Semi-Silent).

You should proceed immediately to the Control Unit and
enter to disarm the system.

DISARMING AFTER AN ALARM
ACTIVATION

A Full Alarm condition (Control Unit Siren and External
Siren operating), will be initiated following any intrusion or
Tamper/Personal Attack Activation. This condition will
continue until expiry of the preset alarm ‘Auto Stop’ time,
whereby the External Siren and Control Unit Siren will
cease. The Control Unit will now immediately re-arm
itself. In the event of a further intrusion/activation the
control unit will once again initiate a Full Alarm condition,
and the above process is repeated.

If a Full Alarm condition is initiated accidently,

the alarm can by stopped immediately by
entering at the Control Unit.

CONTROL UNIT OFF/ON MODE

To prevent the alarm from being activated when either
opening the Control Unit or removing a battery cover
from a Detector, it is necessary to first enter the Control
Unit

OFF/ON code:

The green ‘Power On’ indicator will now extinguish.
When you have completed your alterations, turn the
control unit back ‘ON’ by re-entering the OFF/ON
code as above. The green ‘Power On’ indicator will
now illuminate and the system is ready for operation.

PERSONAL ATTACK ALARM

A Full Alarm condition can be initiated by the user at
any time (system armed or disarmed) in the event of
threat or danger. To initiate an alarm press and hold

and buttons on the Control Unit keypad

for more than 2 seconds.

The Control Unit Siren will emit a two tone ‘Tamper’
warning and the External Siren will operate. To cancel
the alarm enter

at the Control Unit.

BATTERY MONITORING

The system will continuously monitor the battery
condition of all PIR & Magnetic Contact Detectors. If the
voltage level of any battery falls unacceptably low a radio
signal will automatically be transmitted to the Control
Unit and the yellow ‘Low Battery’ light will flash.

To identify a PIR Detector with a low battery, leave each
protected area for at least 40 seconds. If, when you re­enter the area the PIR LED flashes on detection of
movement, this indicates a low battery.

The batteries in the Magnetic Contact Detectors can be
checked by operating the Detector (opening and closing
the protected door/window) and observing the LED on
the detector. If the LED is dim or does not illuminate the
battery needs to be replaced.

Protector P500S 15

In the event of a low battery condition, turn the Control
Unit ‘OFF’ using the OFF/ON code. Replace the battery
as required and turn the Control Unit back ‘ON’.

Note: When replacing PIR Detector batteries, fit a PP3
alkaline type. Rechargeable batteries should NOT be fitted.

For areas subject to seasonal low ambient temperatures
(eg garages, sheds etc) we recommend the use of PP3
Lithium batteries (Response Electronics Plc order code
3005B) in PIR Detectors.

TESTING THE SYSTEM

You may test your system at any time, however, it is
recommended that the system is tested at regular
intervals not exceeding three months. To set the
Control Unit to Test mode enter

at the Control Unit keypad.

The yellow ‘Test’ light will now illuminate.

Before testing areas protected by Passive Infra Red
Detectors, ensure that the area is completely clear of
occupants, including pets. Wait 40 seconds before
testing areas protected by Passive Infra Red Detectors
and also allow 40 seconds between tests. Where Two
Pulse Detection has been selected, ensure you take two
or three paces within the area to trigger the Detector.

When a Passive Infra Red Detector is activated, or a
protected door or window is opened the Control Unit
will emit a 3 second alarm tone and the associated
Zone LED will indication will be given.

On completion of testing, return to the normal Disarmed
mode of operation by entering

at the Control Unit keypad.

To test the External Siren, press and hold the
and buttons simultaneously on the Control Unit
keypad for more than 2 seconds to initiate a Personal
Attack

alarm. Enter

to stop the

alarm and clear the ‘Alarm Activated’ light.

MAINTENANCE

Your P500S Intruder Alarm system requires very little
maintenance. However, a few simple tasks will ensure
its continued reliability and operation.

CONTROL UNIT

The Control Unit requires no maintenance. If cleaning
is required, wipe the outside of the casing with a
soft damp cloth. Do not use aerosols or sprays or
proprietary cleaners. Do not attempt to clean inside
the Unit or allow water to enter the Unit.

EXTERNAL SOLAR SIREN

1. At least once a year, preferably in the Autumn,
the Solar Panel on the top of the siren housing
should be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth. This
operation will ensure that the Solar Panel receives
all the available light. The cleaning operation can
be combined with the general cleaning of the
outside of the house, windows etc. to reduce
maintenance time.

2. The Solar Siren incorporates tamper protection
for system security. Should you, for any reason,
have to completely power down the Solar Siren
(eg. to move the system to a new premises)
remove the holding screw at the base of the Siren
and hinge off the front cover.

WARNING - THE SIREN WILL SOUND

Disconnect the rechargeable battery and initial
power up battery.

3. The Solar Siren should not be left for long periods
with the batteries connected, unless the Unit is
able to receive sufficient light to maintain the
battery charging circuit. Failure to maintain charge
to the Unit will result in the rechargeable battery
running unacceptably low. Should this occur, the
Unit must be recharged from a 240 Volt AC/7.5 Volt
DC mains adaptor (Response order code S100TR).
When re-powering the Solar Siren fit a new 9 Volt
PP3 leak proof Alkaline Initial Power-Up Battery
to ensure that the Unit receives sufficient power
until the Solar Panel can recharge the main battery
completely.
