SAM EXpansion Kit Includes:

The SAM-900 is an intelligent passive infrared
motion detector, designed to detect human
movement within an approximate range of
26ft from the detector. The SAM-900 includes fuzzy
logic to minimize false alarms from unwanted
heat sources. The detector includes a battery
save feature, which prevents the detector from
sending wireless signals once it has detected
movement and sent a signal to the control panel
more than twice within three (3) minutes.

The SAM-DW1 is a magnetic sensor which will
send a wireless signal to the control panel when a
door or window is opened.

Infrared Sensor: Detects the infrared rays released by human

body motion. Do not touch the surface.

Tamper Switch: Once the case is opened in the detector’s

working state, the tamper switch will be
triggered, generating an alarm signal.

Remove the battery activation strip to activate the batteries.
It will start self-testing for one minute.

Installation

- Activate the PIR detector by removing the battery activation
strip. The PIR detector will immediatly self-test. After one
minute of self-testing, install the PIR detector.

- Avoid mounting the detector close to places where the
temperature changes fast or the air stream flows frequently
(ie. AC units and heating vents.)

- Fix the bracket to the wall with screws.

- Attach the detector to the bracket. Adjust installation height or
bracket to change the detection distance and angle. Installation
height is 6.5 Ft (2m) from the ground.

Note: The detector is more sensitive to cross-movement than to
direct movement. The performance of the detector is optimal
when the detection direction is across the walking direction
of intruders.

- Press the test button. Walk in the detection area (from left to
right or from right to left) and watch the LED indicator to make
sure the detector is working. The LED indicator should flash
once when body movement is detected.

- Adjust the detector’s viewing angle to achieve the best
detection.

The SAM-DW1 is a Door/Window Contact that can be installed on
doors, windows, and any other objects that open and close. The
sensor transmits signals to the control panel when a magnet
mounted near the sensor is moved away. The tamper
protection ensures that attempts to move the magnetic contact
will result in an alarm activation.

Installing the wireless door/window contact

SAM-DW1 - Wireless Door/Window Contact
Specifications

- Avoid mounting sensors in areas with a large quantity of metal
or electrical wiring, such as a furnace or utility room.

- Place the transmitter in the desired location, mount the magnet
no more than 0.39 in (1 cm) away from the transmitter and secure
the transmitter and magnet with double-sided tape (included)
or screws (included.) The top of the door is recommended
on the side furthest from the hinge.

- Make sure the magnet is on the right side of the transmitter. The
two triangles visible on the sensor and the magnet should be next
to each other; as close as possible.

simply that. The rate per SMS is $0.03 and the rate per minute for voice is
$0.12. If you send a security instruction such as an instruction to remotely arm
the house by SMS, you will incur a $0.03 fee for the SMS. If a security event
was triggered and a call goes out to your cellphone to alert you, then you
will incur $0.12 per minute Voice rate.
If your system has been suspended, you will incur a re-activation fee to
re-activate your system.

SAM C5 is easy to set up right out of the box.

Follow the simple instructions to install the SAM security panel and
accompanying wireless devices.
