INTRODUCTION
& OVERVIEW

The RE5000S Alarm System is designed to allow
flexibility in configuring and using the system. The
Detectors can be set to operate on any one of 6
Zones, to give an instant alarm or a variable timed
entry delay. There is no limit to the number of
detectors per Zone.

A normally closed, hard-wired Zone input is also
available on Zone 6.

Part Arm allows only selected detection Zones to
be armed. For example, for night time protection
you can ‘Arm’ the downstairs areas, garage and
outbuildings, whilst allowing you free access to the
upstairs areas without activating your alarm.

The Control Unit is programmed and operated via
its integral keypad. A Main User Access Code
allows general operation (Arming/Disarming) and full
access to the programming menu, whilst a Second
User Access Code allows Arming/Disarming only
and may therefore be entrusted to children,
neighbours or guests.

Separate wireless zone inputs and wired output
facilities are available for Medical Alert and Fire
Alarm, and a multicore cable connection is supplied
to allow full system status outputs to a security
dialler or communicator.

The Control Unit also incorporates a sophisticated
Jamming Detection Circuit with Jamming Counter
and pre-alarm indication.

A Zoneable Door-Chime, Quick Arm Operation and
Walk Test Facilities are also selectable via the
Control Unit.

The RE5000S Wireless Intruder Alarm package
contains all the components necessary to install
a complete Intruder Alarm System within your
premises. You can increase your protection by
adding additional Wireless Passive Infra Red
Detectors and Wireless Magnetic Contact Detectors
either at the time of initial installation or at a future
date. You may also wish to purchase additional

Remote Control Unit(s) for use by other members of
your household. Full details of other accessories to
extend your system are given on pages 27 and 28.

The items included in your RE5000S package are
shown opposite:-

For even greater protection you can install as
many PIR’s and Magnetic Contact Detectors as
and when you require. The RE5000S Alarm System

is designed to give you protection for a two
bedroomed house. Just add additional detectors
where further protection is needed.

PLANNING AND EXTENDING YOUR WIRELESS
ALARM SYSTEM

PART ARM

Protect either all of your home or just the areas you
choose. For example, for night time protection you
can have downstairs plus the garage and shed ‘ON’
whilst upstairs is ‘OFF’. This allows you to occupy
upstairs areas without activating your alarm.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

Before attempting to install your RE5000S Wireless
Alarm System it is important to study your security
requirements and plan your installation, including
Zoning and Entry/Exit routes.

Each property will have its own layout, the
diagram shown is intended as a guide.

CONTROL UNIT

INDICATORS AND KEYPAD

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, or fused connection unit.

Note: Ensure that the adaptor will not be
removed from the socket or accidentally switched
off, when the system is in use.

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,
fridge-freezers, 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

Remove the fixing bracket securing screw and slide
the fixing bracket off of the keyhole slots at the top
of the Control Unit. Hold the fixing bracket level in
position on the wall and mark the 3 fixing bracket
holes on the wall. Drill 3 x 4mm diameter fixing holes;
fully insert the plastic wall plugs supplied and secure
the bracket to the wall using the three fixing screws.

An in-line DC Mains Adaptor and Cable are supplied
with the Control Unit. To connect the Mains Adaptor

proceed as below:

1. Select a suitable location for the Mains Adaptor
(eg: a mains supply cupboard). Using the adaptor
fixing bracket as a template, mark and drill 2 x
4mm diameter holes, insert the wall plugs and
secure the adaptor to the wall using the fixing
bracket and double sided tape.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover and back­up battery. Lead the adaptor DC output cable
along the Cable Channel in the rear of the Control
Unit and plug the jack plug into the jack socket in
the battery compartment.

3. Plug the 13A plug into a local socket. Alternatively,
the plug can be removed and the mains lead
connected to a fused connection unit (fused 3
amps) as follows:-

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

NEUTRAL = Blue

LIVE = Brown

If the colours of the wires in the mains lead do
not correspond with the markings identifying

6 RE5000S Professional Alarm System

Rear view of Control Unit/Fixing Bracket

View inside Terminal/Battery Compartment

the terminals on your equipment proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured Red. The wire coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured Black.

The power supply adaptor is double insulated and
does not require an Earth ( ) connection.

If you use a 13 amp fused connection unit or
another plug, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

MAINS ELECTRICITY CAN KILL. -

If you are in any
doubt about connecting the Mains Adaptor to your
power supply we recommend that you consult a
qualified electrician. All works must be carried out in
accordance with the IEE Regulations.

4. The green power indicator will illuminate
steadily, indicating that the Control Unit is powered
from the mains supply. (It is normal for the Mains
Adaptor to appear warm to the touch when in use).

The Control Unit incorporates a ‘Non Volatile
Memory’, which will memorise all settings indefinitely
even when all power has been removed. To enable
this facility to operate, the memory link must be set to
the ‘ON’ position.

In the event that you wish to revert the Control Unit to
factory ‘Default’ settings, remove all power (mains and
back-up battery), set the memory link to ‘OFF’ and
reapply power. In all other circumstances the memory
link should be left ‘ON’ for full system security.

If any hard-wired connections are to be made
at the Control Unit (eg: Zone 6 input, Hard-wired
Siren, Telephone Dialler/Communicator etc) it is
recommended that these are made AFTER the initial
installation and programming of the Control Unit.

BACK-UP BATTERY

The Control Unit has provision for a 1.2 Ahr 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 Back-up 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.

1. To fit the Back-up Battery, connect the battery
leads red to red (+) and black to black (-) and
place the battery into the battery compartment.

2. In the event of a mains failure the green power
indicator will flash, showing that the Control Unit
is powered by battery only.

3. Refit the battery compartment cover. Hook the
Control Unit onto the backplate keyhole fixings, slide
into place and secure using the fixing bracket screw.

Note: If you accidentally trigger the rear anti­tamper switch whilst fitting the control unit enter

to cancel the alarm.

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 Detector(s) and
Remote Control Unit(s). This is done by setting a series of
3 position miniature switches in the Detectors and Remote
Control Unit(s) to a special combination (‘House Code’)
selected by yourself, and programming the Control Unit to
recognise only this House Code combination.

IMPORTANT

In order for all detectors, Remote Control Unit(s) and
accessories to communicate with the Control Unit, it is
essential that the same House Code combination is
used for all components. (Except the Solar Siren &
Strobe and Medical Alert Pendant where fitted).

Inside your Remote Control(s) and Detectors you will find a
series of 3 position miniature switches. Your ‘House Code’
is set by moving each of the first 6 switches (numbered 1-

6) to a random sequence of ‘+’, ‘o’ or ‘–’ settings.

Note: When setting the miniature switches in each item of
equipment, ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ into position,
especially in the centre ‘o’ position. Use the tip of a ball point
pen or a small screw driver to move each switch in turn.

RE5000S Professional Alarm System 7

REMOTE CONTROL(S)

One Remote Control Unit is supplied in the standard
RE5000S package. However, additional Remote
Control Unit(s) can be purchased separately, if
required. The Remote Control Unit(s) are used to Arm
and Disarm the System.

The Remote Control Unit also incorporates a personal
attack button. This sounds the alarm at any time
whether the system is Armed or not. Just press

and the alarm will sound. If this is activated
by mistake you can cancel the alarm by pressing and
releasing the “Disarm” button on the Remote Control.

Any number of Remote Control Unit(s) can be used
with your system, providing they are all coded with
the system ‘House Code’. To set the ‘House Code’
and fit the battery, proceed as follows.

1. Remove the fixing screw from the back of the
Remote Control Unit and carefully separate the
two halves of the unit.

2. Fit the 12 Volt Alkaline battery supplied with the
negative (-) towards the battery spring.

3. Set miniature switches 1-6 to a random combination
of

‘+’, ‘o’ or ‘-’ settings. This is your ‘House Code’.

Make a careful note of the setting of each switch
as this information will be needed when you set
up other items in your system.

Note: miniature switches 7 and 8 do not form part
of the ‘House Code’ and should be set in the

‘-’

position in the Remote Control.

Take care not to touch the printed circuit board or
allow dust or moisture to enter the Remote Control
Unit, as this may damage the electronic components.

4. Reassemble the two halves of the unit and secure
using the fixing screw.

SETTING THE CONTROL
UNIT HOUSE CODE

To enable the Control Unit to receive the radio signals
from your Remote Control(s) and Detectors, the
system ‘House Code’ must be programmed into the
Control Unit’s memory. The Control Unit learns the
system ‘House Code’ from the Remote Control.
Ensure that a battery has been fitted and a ‘House
Code’ has been set in the Remote Control and then
proceed as follows:-

1. Ensure that only the Control Unit’s top green mains
power indicator LED is illuminated.

2. Enter . The

Control
Unit is now in programming Mode. The Full Arm
and Part Arm LED’s will now be illuminated and all
the Zone LED’s will flash.

3.

Enter . The Zone LED’s will extinguish.
(Unless a ‘House Code’ has already been set in
which case the LED’s will indicate the code set).

4. To set the Control Unit ‘House Code’, (or to change
the ‘House Code’ to the new code) simply press the
Disarm (Blue) button on your Remote Control.

8 RE5000S Professional Alarm System

View Inside Remote Control

The Control Unit will acknowledge the signal by
bleeping twice and memorise the ‘House Code’ set
in the Remote Control. The Zone LED’s 1-6 will now
indicate the ‘House Code’ switch setting selected for
each switch 1-6 in the Remote Control as follows:-

‘+’ = LED ‘ON’
‘o’ = LED ‘FLASHING’
‘-’ = LED ‘OFF’

5. Once the ‘House Code’ has been set, press
twice to exit programming mode.

Note: It is possible to manually programme the‘House
Code’ into the Control Unit, if a Remote Control is not
available or not required - Refer to Programmable
Functions - page 15.

SETTING THE CONTROL
UNIT TO TEST MODE

Before installing Magnetic Contact Detectors, Passive
Infra Red Detectors or other accessories 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. Press and hold the button, until the Control

Unit emits 2 bleeps and the Full Arm and Part
Arm LED’s flash.

2. The system is now in Test mode.

3. Now, each time the Control Unit receives a

valid radio signal from a Detector or Remote
Control, the Control Unit will emit 2 two-tone
chimes and the associated Zone LED will flash
for approximately 3 seconds.

To test the radio range of the Control Unit’s receiver,
press and release the Disarm (Blue) button on the
Remote Control from in and around the property and
from all locations where you plan to install the Detectors
and check that the Control Unit acknowledges the
signals by emitting the two-tone chime (and flashing the
Medical Alert (Zone 8) LED for 3 seconds).

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, press and
hold the button until the unit emits 2 bleeps and
the Arm/Part Arm LED’s extinguish.

SYSTEM ZONING

The RE5000 Detectors can be set to operate on any
one of 6 Zones. There is no limit to the number of
Detectors that can be installed on a Zone, although
we recommend that only one Detector is installed per
Zone for ease of alarm verification. Alternatively
where more than 6 Detectors are installed, group all
the Detectors in one area/room on the same Zone.

Zone selection is set on each Detector using the 3
position miniature switches 7 and 8, as follows:-

In addition to a Radio Detection Alarm input on Zone
6, facilities are available on the Control Unit Terminal
block to also hard-wire a normally closed (open on
alarm) circuit on Zone 6. The hard-wired Zone should
be wired across terminals ‘Zone 6’ and ‘GRD’ on the
Control Unit terminal block.

Zone 6 also monitors the Control Unit Tamper Circuits,
ie Control Unit fixing/battery cover Tamper switch and
(where fitted) hard-wired siren tamper return.

Separate Zone inputs are available for Fire Alarm

(Zone 7) and Medical Alert (Zone 8).
These Zones are pre-programmed into the RE5000SD
Smoke Detectors and RE5000MP Medical Alert
Pendant respectively. These devices cannot be
assigned to different Zones.
