System Arming

The system has a ‘Full Arm’ and a ‘Part-Arm’ mode.

‘Full Arm’ will arm all zones while the ‘Part-Arm’ mode
w

ill only arm the zones that are enabled for ‘Part-Arm’.

F

or example:

The system could be set 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 set 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 set
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 set as Instant allowing
them to initiate an alarm immediately a Detector on
these zones are triggered.

Delay Armed zones will not become fully armed until
after the Exit delay period has expired. When a
D

etector on a Delay Armed zone is triggered, an alarm
condition will not be triggered until after the Entry
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 will immediately initiate an alarm
as soon as the zone is triggered.

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 in the armed mode. 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.

Tamper Protection

All system devices (except Remote Control Units)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorized 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 even if the system is Disarmed
(unless the system is in Test or Programming modes).

Voice Dialler

This system incorporates a telephone voice dialler
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 Dialler is enabled and an alarm condition
occurs, the system will call for help using your pre­recorded alarm message and up to four telephone
numbers. When the telephone voice dialler is activated
it will call the first enabled number in the dialing

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 also on some Solar Siren models. 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 you are planning to operate the Jamming
Detection feature we recommend that you wait at least
30 days before activating this feature, this will allow
time for you to become familiar with the operation of
your system.

Battery Monitoring

All devices powered by non-rechargeable batteries
incorporate a battery level monitoring feature which
warns when the battery status is low.

In addition the Control Panel will also indicate a low
battery status on any PIR Detector or Magnetic
Contact Detector on the System.

Batteries on any device indicating a low battery status
must be replaced immediately.

System House Code

In order to prevent any unauthorized attempt to
operate or disarm your system, you must set your
system to accept radio signals only from your own
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 set
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 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 example below shows a typical property
incorporating the suggested positions for the
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 at any time to
provide even greater protection by fitting additional
devices to meet your personal security needs.

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 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.

Important: Do not drill the fixing holes with the
Control Panel in position; as the resulting dust and
vibration may damage the Control Panel’s internal
components and invalidate the guarantee.

Setting the Remote Control

1.

Remove the front cover by undoing the small
screw on the rear of the Remote Control.

2.

Located above the battery is a row of 8 DIP
switches. Select and record a random combination
of ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ positions for the DIP switches.
This will be the system House Code that enables
all elements of your transmitters 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
+v terminal faces upwards away from the PCB.

5.

Replace the front cover and fixing screw.

Passive Infrared (PIR)
Movement Detectors

PIR Detectors are designed to detect movement in
a protected area by detecting changes in infra-red
radiation levels caused, for example, when a person
moves within or across the devices field of vision.

I

f movement is detected an alarm signal will be

g

enerated, (if the system and alarm zone is armed).

N

ote: PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so

e

nsure that pets are not permitted access to areas

f

itted with Passive Infra Red Detectors when the

s

ystem is armed.

A

ny number of PIR Detectors can be used with your
s

ystem, providing they are all coded with the system

H

ouse Code and are mounted within effective radio
r

ange of the Control Panel.

The PIR Detector is powered by a PP3 Alkaline
battery which under normal conditions will have an
expected life in excess of 1 year. When the battery
level drops, with the PIR Detector in normal operation
mode and the battery cover fitted, the LED behind
the detection window will flash. When this occurs
the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.

Choosing a position for the
PIR Detector

The recommended position for a PIR Detector is in
the corner of a room mounted at a height between
2 and 2.5m. At this height, the PIR Detector will
have a maximum range of up to 12m with a field of
view of 110°.

The Position of the PCB inside the PIR Detector can
be set to 5 different positions to adjust the range of
the detection pattern created by the PIR Detector.
Setting the PCB in position 3 will reduce the range to
approximately 9m, with position 1 providing a range of
approximately 6m. The recommended position setting
for the PCB is in position 5.

hen considering and deciding upon the mounting

p

osition for the PIR Detector the following points

s

hould be considered to ensure trouble free operation:

1.

Do not locate the PIR Detector facing a window or
where it is exposed to or facing direct sunlight.
PIR Detectors are not suitable for use in
conservatories.

2. Do not locate the PIR Detector where it is exposed
to ventilators.

3. Do not locate the Detector directly above a heat
source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).

4. Where possible, mount the PIR Detector in the
corner of the room so that the logical path of an
intruder would cut across the fan detection
pattern. PIR Detectors respond more effectively to
movement across the device than to movement
directly towards it.

5. Do not locate the PIR Detector in a position where
it is subject to excessive vibration.

6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR
Detector is within effective range of the Control
Panel. It is recommended that prior to installation
the Detector is set and tested with the Control
Panel in Walk Test mode to ensure that they are
within effective range.

Note: When the system is Armed, pets should not be
allowed into an area protected by a PIR Detector as
their movement would trigger the PIR Detector and
trigger an alarm.

Note: DO NOT fix the PIR Detector to metalwork or
locate the unit within 1m of metalwork (i.e. radiators,
water pipes, etc) as this could affect the radio range of
the Device.

Installing and configuring the
PIR Movement Detectors

Ensure that the Control Panel is in Test mode.

1.

Undo and remove the fixing screw from the
bottom edge of the PIR Detector. Carefully pull the
bottom edge of the Detector away from the rear
cover and then slide down to release the top clips.

2. Carefully drill out the required mounting holes in the
rear cover using a 3mm drill according to whether
the unit is being mounted in a corner or against a
flat wall.

3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the
positions of the fixing holes on the wall.

4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm
No. 4 screws and 25mm wall plugs, (a 5mm hole
will be required for the wall plugs). Do not over­tighten the fixing screws as this may distort or
damage the cover.

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

5. Set the House Code for the PIR Detector by setting
DIP switches 1-8 of SW2 to the same ON/OFF
combination as the House Code DIP switches in all
other system devices.

6. Set the alarm zone which the Detector will operate
on by setting DIP switches 1-3 of SW3 as follows:

7

. DIP4 of SW3 is used to set the PIR Detector for

walk test mode, which allows the operation of the
Detector to be checked during installation without
triggering a Full Alarm.

. The PIR Detector incorporates a sensitivity feature

d

esigned to compensate for situations where the

D

etector may be affected by environmental

c

hanges, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc). This

f

eature is called “Detection Sensitivity” and may be

s

et to Standard or High Sensitivity.

N

ote: The higher the sensitivity the less movement

w

ill be necessary before the PIR Detector will

trigger the alarm.

The recommended setting is Standard Sensitivity.
If set to High Sensitivity, in some cases, extreme
environmental problems could cause unattributed
false alarms. If this is experienced it may be
necessary to reset the PIR Detector to Standard
Sensitivity.

Set the required detection sensitivity using DIP 5 of
SW3 as follows:

9. Connect the PP3 Alkaline battery to the battery clip.

Note: When the 9V Alkaline battery is connected
the LED behind the lens will rapidly flash for
approximately 2-3 minutes until the PIR Detector
has warmed up and stabilized. The LED will then
stop flashing and turn OFF.

10. Check that the PIR Detector PCB is located and set
in the correct position to give the detection zone
pattern required.

To adjust the PCB position, simply slide it up or
down ensuring that the location legs are aligned
with the required position number marked on the
board.

1. Refit the PIR Detector to the rear cover by offering
t

he PIR Detector up to the rear cover and locate the

c

lips in the top edge into the rear cover. Push the

l

ower edge of the PIR Detector into place and refit

t

he fixing screw in the bottom edge of the PIR

D

etector to secure in position. Do not over-tighten

t

he fixing screws as this may damage the casing.

Testing the PIR Detectors

Ensure that the system is in Test mode.

Ensure that the PIR Detector is set in Walk Test mode,
(i.e. DIP 4 of SW3 ON) and mounted in position on the
wall. Allow 2-3 minutes for the

PIR

Detector to stabilize

before commencing testing.

1. Put the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode by
pressing on the Control Panel.

The Panel will beep and the Zone 1 LED will
illuminate.

2. Walk into and move slowly around the protected
area, each time the PIR Detector senses
movement the LED behind the lens will flash. In
addition, the Control Panel will beep twice to
indicate that the alarm signal has been received
and the appropriate zone LED which the Detector
is set for will illuminate.

Note: In normal operation, the LED will not flash
on movement detection. If necessary re-adjust
the detection pattern by changing the mounting
position of the PCB within the PIR Detector
housing.

3. Reset the PIR Detector into Normal operation
mode by switching DIP 4 of SW3 to the OFF
position and refit in position.

4. Press on the Control Panel to exit Walk Test
mode.

Note: When the PIR Detector is fully installed
i.e. battery cover is refitted; the unit will not detect
movement for approximately 45 seconds after each
activation. (This feature is present to conserve
battery power and maximize the battery life).

Installing and setting the Magnetic
Contact Detectors

Ensure that the system is in Test mode.

1.

Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it
off. (DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever off).

2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and pulling the connector off the printed
circuit board.

3. Mount the Magnetic Contact Detector to the fixed
part of the frame along the opening edge opposite
the hinges using either the double sided adhesive
tape or screws provided.

When fixing the Magnetic Contact Detector with
screws, the top of the Detector is secured with a
keyhole slot over the screw head of the smaller pan
head screw. The bottom is secured using the 12mm
countersunk head screw fitted within the battery
compartment. Carefully drill out the centre of the
fixing screw hole in the battery compartment using
a 3mm drill. Do not over-tighten the fixing screws
as this may distort or damage the casing.

4. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the door/
window opposite the Magnetic Contact Detector
using the two 15mm fixing screws. Ensuring that
the parallel gap between the Magnet and Detector
is less than 10mm and that the arrow on the
Magnet is pointing towards and aligned with the
mark on the top section of the Detector.

5. If an additional wired Magnetic Contact Detector is
required, this should be wired to the terminal block
provided in the battery compartment. The wired
contact should be connected using two core
(24AWG) wire of maximum length 1.5m.

Important: If an additional wired contact is not
connected, then the jumper link SW2 must be fitted for
the Magnetic Contact Detector to operate correctly.

6. Set the House Code for the Magnetic Contact
Detector by setting DIP switches 1-8 to the same
ON/OFF combination as the House Code DIP
switches in all other system devices.

7. Set the alarm zone which the Detector will operate
on with DIP switches 9-11 as follows:

Testing the Magnetic Contact
Detectors

Ensure that the system is in Test mode.

1. Put the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode by
pressing on the Control Panel.

The Panel will beep and the Zone 1 LED will
illuminate.

2. Remove the battery cover from the Magnetic
Contact Detector.

The LED on the Detector will illuminate for approx.
1 second as the battery cover is removed and the
tamper switch is activated. In addition, the Control
Panel will beep twice to indicate that the alarm
signal has been received and the Tamper LED will
illuminate.

3. Open the door/window to remove the magnet from
the Detector.

As the magnet is moved away from the Detector
the LED will illuminate for approximately 1 second
to indicate that the Detector has been triggered.
In addition, the Control Panel will beep twice to
indicate that the alarm signal has been received
and the appropriate zone LED, which the Detector
is set for, will illuminate.

4. If any external Magnetic Contact Detectors are
connected to the Detector, operate these one at a
time. Each time a contact is opened the LED on
the Detector should illuminate for 1 second to
indicate that it has been triggered.

5. Replace the battery cover on the Detector.

6. Press on the Control Panel to exit Walk Test.

External Solar Siren

The Siren and Solar Panel are all encapsulated within
a tough polycarbonate housing. This housing provides
full protection against adverse weather conditions.

An LED/Strobe unit is built into the siren to act as a
visible deterrent/indication that the system is active.
The Strobe LEDs will slowly and alternately flash
whether the system is armed or disarmed. However,
during an alarm condition the Strobe LEDs will flash
rapidly.

An integral anti-tamper switch provides additional
security protection to the Solar Siren and will
immediately generate a full alarm should any
unauthorized attempt be made to interfere with and
remove the Solar Siren cover.

The Solar Siren is powered by a high capacity battery.
A Solar Panel mounted on the top of the housing
charges the battery during daylight hours. During
darkness, only a small amount of energy is required to
operate the Solar Siren unit.

An Alkaline 9V PP3 battery is supplied in the Solar
Siren to boost the initial power to the unit when the
system is first activated until the Solar Panel charges
the main battery.

Positioning the Solar Siren

The Solar Siren should be located in a prominent
position so that it can be easily seen and heard. The
Solar Siren should be mounted on a sound flat surface
so that the rear tamper switch is not activated when
mounted. Ensure that the tamper switch does not fall
into the recess between brick courses as this could
prevent the switch from closing and give a permanent
tamper signal.

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. If the Solar Siren
is to be mounted below the eaves, it should be
positioned a distance of at least 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.

ESC

The Solar Siren contains a sophisticated radio
receiver. However, reception of radio signals can be
affected by the presence of metallic objects within the
vicinity of the Solar Siren. It is therefore important to
mount the Solar Siren a minimum distance of 1m
away from any external or internal metalwork, (i.e.
drainpipes, gutters, radiators, mirrors etc).

Ensure that the position selected for the Solar Siren
is within effective range of the Control Panel, (refer to
“Testing the Control Panel & Remote Control”).

Installing the Solar Siren

1. Remove the fixing screw from the bottom edge of
the Solar Siren Siren housing and carefully hinge off
the front cover. All electronic components are
housed within the front cover.

2. Hold the mounting plate in position and mark the
positions of the four mounting holes (a spirit level
placed on the casing will ensure a perfect level).
Drill four 6mm holes and fit the wall plugs.

3. Fit the two 30mm fixing screws in the top holes
leaving approx. 10mm of the screw protruding.

4. Fit the top keyhole slots of the mounting plate over
the screw heads. Adjust the mounting plate and
adjust the screws until they form a neat fit with the
mounting plate with minimal movement

5. Secure the mounting plate in position using the two
25mm fixing screws in the bottom fixing holes.

6.

Ensure that the Siren’s main configuration switch
on the LED Indicator board is set to "Siren".

Setting the Solar Siren

Ensure that the Solar Siren main configuration switch
if fitted on the LED strobe board is set to “SIREN” for
use with this alarm system.

Undo the 3 screws holding the DIP Switch cover in
place and remove the cover.

House Code

Under the corner cover you will find a series of 9 DIP
switches.

DIP switches 1-8 are used to set the House Code for
the siren and must be set to the same ON/OFF
combination as all other system devices.

Note: When the Solar Siren is viewed as shown above
(Solar panel at top) the DIP switches are ‘upside down’.

Alarm Duration Limit

If required the maximum length of time that the
External Solar Siren will sound for when activated
under an alarm condition may be limited to 3 minutes
using DIP switch 9 as follows:

OFF 3 minute limit
ON 10 minutes or same as programmed

setting on Control Panel.

Beep Disable

The Solar Siren will acknowledge Disarm signals from
the Remote Control by beeping twice. It is possible to
disable the beeps if required by removing the jumper
link P2 on the circuit board.

Siren Disable

If for any reason you need to disable the Siren, remove
jumper link P3 on the circuit board. This will prevent
the Siren from sounding during an alarm condition.
However, the Siren will still beep to acknowledge
signals from the Remote Control, (provided the beep
feature is not disabled).

O

nce you have completed configuring the Solar Siren,

r

efit the DIP switch cover and replace the three cover

f

ixing screws. Do not over tighten the screw as this

c

ould damage the thread.

Initial Power-Up of the Solar Siren

1. Connect the 9V PP3 initial power battery to the
battery clip.

Connect the rechargeable battery to the charging
leads. Connect the Red lead to the Red (+) terminal
and the Black lead to the Black (-) terminals.

Note: Once the batteries have been connected, the
Siren will be operational and it is important that the
Solar panel receives sufficient light to maintain the
battery charge. The Siren should not be operated
repeatedly during installation and testing, as this
will rapidly drain the battery. It is recommended
that the Siren be left for at least a day in order to
charge the battery before the system is armed.

2. Press the anti-tamper switch, the LEDs will flash
together to indicate that the unit is operational.

3. Hinge the front cover locating tabs over the top
edge of the back plate and carefully push the base
of the siren cover into place. Secure the siren
cover in place by refitting the fixing screw in the
bottom edge of the cover. Do not over tighten the
screw as this could damage the thread.

Important: Ensure that the rear tamper switch is
closed when you fit the siren cover to the back plate
(i.e. listen for the switch to click). If the switch does
not close this will prevent the Solar Siren from
operating correctly.

4. The fitting of the Solar Siren is now complete.

Siren Service Mode

The Solar Siren includes a Service Mode facility
which prevents the Siren’s tamper switch from
triggering an alarm whilst it is removed from the wall
for maintenance or to change the batteries. After
changing the batteries and refitting in position, the
Solar Siren must be put back into Operating Mode,
otherwise it will not sound in the event of an alarm.

Service Mode: Press and hold the button
on the Remote Control.

The Siren will produce two short beeps/LED

When leaving the premises, the system should be
Armed. However, before doing so, check that all
windows are closed and locked, all protected doors
are closed and PIR Detectors are not obstructed.
Ensure that pets are restricted to areas not protected
by PIR Detectors.

The system has two armed modes, ARM and PART­ARM. The Part-Arm facility allows for selected zones
to be left in a Disarmed state while the remainder of
the system is Armed.

When the system is Armed (in either mode) the Zone
LEDs for all active zones will illuminate for a few
seconds, in addition the appropriate Arming Mode
LED will flash. All active zones set as INSTANT will
immediately be fully Armed. If enabled the System
Exit delay will start and the Control Panel will start
beeping with the beep rate increasing in steps as the
delay expires. At the end of the Exit period all active
zones set to DELAY will be fully Armed. By this time
the user must have left the property and closed the
final protected door.

If while the system is armed a Detector on an INSTANT
zone is triggered then this will immediately initiate a
Full Alarm condition with both Control Panel and Siren
sounding. However, if a Detector on a DELAY zone is
triggered, if enabled, the Entry Delay will start and the
Control Panel will start beeping with the beep rate
increasing in steps as the delay expires. If the system
has not been Disarmed when the Entry Delay expires
a Full Alarm condition will be initiated. If a Full Alarm
condition occurs the appropriate zone LED that
triggered the alarm will flash to indicate which zone
the alarm was triggered from. If an alarm condition
occurs, the zone that triggered the alarm will be
indicated by the appropriate zone LED on the Control
Panel being illuminated.

At the end of the programmed alarm duration the Siren
and Control Panel alarms will stop and the system will
automatically re-Arm itself, (subject to the conditions
of the Zone Lockout feature).

Note: The Solar Siren will shut down either after the
programmed alarm duration or after 3 minutes, if the 3
minute limit has been enabled on the Solar Siren.

Disarming the System

The system can be disarmed using either the Remote
Control or the Control Panel as follows:

Remote Control:

P

ress the button.

T

he Control Panel will acknowledge the signal by

b

eeping.

T

he Siren will also acknowledge the Disarm signal

beeping twice unless beep disable has been set.

Control Panel:

Press the ‘Disarm’ key, followed by the current User
Access code followed by the ‘Enter’ button

The Control Panel will acknowledge the signal by
beeping.

If the system has been triggered and an alarm
condition has occurred, then the appropriate LED
will be illuminated to indicate which zone(s) have
triggered the alarm. Make a note of the zone(s)
indicated to assist in tracing the cause of the alarm,
before pressing to clear the indication and return
the system to Standby.

Personal Attack (PA) Alarm

A full Alarm condition can be immediately initiated at
any time (whether the system is Armed or Disarmed)
in the event of threat or danger by activating a Panic
Button on either the Remote Control or the Control
Panel.

Remote Control:

Slide the Panic Button upwards.

Control Panel:

Press and hold the button for approximately
3 seconds.

The alarm will continue either for the alarm duration
when the system will automatically reset or until the
system is Disarmed from the Remote Control or
Control Panel.

Tamper

If the battery cover of any device (except a Remote
Control) is removed or if the Solar Siren or Control
Panel are removed from the wall then a Full Alarm
condition will be initiated even if the system is
disarmed. The alarm condition will continue either for
the alarm duration when the system will automatically
reset or until the system is Disarmed from the Remote
Control or Control Panel. The Tamper LED on the
Control Panel will flash to indicate the Tamper Alarm
has been activated.

Note: The Tamper protection facility on the Solar
Siren operates independently of the Control Panel. If
the Tamper on the Siren is activated this will not be
indicated at the Control Panel.

Battery Monitoring

All system devices continuously monitor their battery
condition. The Control Panel also monitors the battery
condition of all PIR and Magnetic Detectors. If the
battery level of any device drops below acceptable
levels then its low battery indication will be activated.

In addition if any PIR or Magnetic Contact Detector
has a low battery status it will be indicated on the
‘LOW BAT’ LED on the Control Panel.

LED Glowing Magnetic Contact
LED Flashing PIR

When a low battery indicator is activated the device
will continue to operate normally for up to 2 weeks
(depending on system use). However, the battery for
that device should be replaced as soon as possible.

Note: Before removing the battery cover on any device
to replace the battery, ensure that the system is put
into Test mode to avoid initiating a Full Alarm condition.

The low battery indication for each system component
is as follows:

Remote Control:

When the Remote Control is operated under low
battery conditions the transmit LED will continue to
flash after the button has been released.

Under normal battery conditions the LED will extinguish
when the button is released.

IR Movement Detector:

Under low battery conditions the LED behind the
Detector lens will flash when movement is detected to
indicate that the battery needs to be replaced.

Under normal battery conditions the LED does not
illuminate unless the PIR Detector is in Walk Test mode.

Magnetic Contact Detector:

Under low battery conditions, when the Detector is
activated, the transmit LED will be illuminated for
approximately 1 second as the door/window is opened.

Under normal battery conditions the LED will not
illuminate as the Detector is operated, (unless the
Detector is in Test Mode with the battery cover
removed).

Maintenance

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

Important: Should you, for any reason, have to
completely power-down the system (e.g. to move the
system to new premises) first put the system into Test
mode before removing the Control Panel cover and
disconnecting the power supply and back-up
batteries. To power-down the Solar Siren, undo the
fixing screw on the bottom edge and remove the front
cover. As the cover is removed the Siren’s Tamper
switch will activate, immediately cancel the alarm
using the Remote Control. Disconnect both the
rechargeable battery and initial power-up battery and
ensure that the Solar panel is covered with a light
proof material to prevent it being energized.

Control Panel

The rechargeable batteries have a typical life of 3-4
years and need no maintenance during this period,
provided they are kept charged. The batteries will be
damaged if they are stored in a discharged state for
long periods.

Detectors and Remote Control

The Detectors require very little maintenance. The
batteries should be replaced once a year or when a
low battery status is indicated.

Batteries

Before removing the battery cover on any device or
opening the Control Panel to replace the battery
ensure that the system is put into Test mode to avoid
initiating a Full Alarm condition.

The specifications for replacement batteries are as
follows:

Note: Where applicable only fit PP3 Alkaline type
batteries. Rechargeable batteries should NOT be
