2. SET UP CODE CONNECTORS AND ZONE CONNECTORS

1. CODE CONNECTORS

In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the sensor’s
code must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1 to 6 can be found
by opening the top cover of the sensor and the back cover of the receiver. User
is required to set these code connectors randomly and the code settings on
the sensor and receiver must be the same. Each position of the code
connector can be set to “+”, “-” or “0” position. Refer to the diagram below to set
the code connectors properly. If the connecto r is plac ed on th e top and middle
posts, that column is set on “ + ”. If the connector is placed on the middle and
bottom posts, that column is set on “ - ”. If the connector is removed completely,
(not placed on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ”. (see diagram for examples of how to
set a column to the three different positions).

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which
could accidentally trigger your system, please change the code
settings on the sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor
and receiver should still match after changing the code setting.

2. ZONE CONNECTORS

Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4
different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that deter­mine the zone number 1, 2, 3 and 4. These 2 connectors can be
found by opening the top plastic cover, near the code connectors
with marking “A” & “B”. Please follow Table 1 to set the zone.

“+” in the table means the connector for that position should be placed
on the posts.
“-“ in the table means the connector for that position should be removed.

3. POWER UP THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR AND RECEIVER

After setting up all the connectors, both units are ready to be powered up.
Plug in the adapter to the receiver, the green LED will start flashing indicating the

receiver unit is powered up but no sensor is detected. Remove the top cover
of the sensor and insert the 3V lithium battery to the sensor as shown in the diagram.

Insert 3V lithium battery to the sensor

Before inserting the battery, keep the magnet away from
the sensor. After inserting the battery to the door /
window sensor, the receiver will beep and flash. If the
door / window sensor is set to zone 1, zone 1 red LED
will flash. The beeping and flashing will continue until the
magnetic contact is close to the sensor.

You are now ready to install the sensor and the magnet to
a door or window.

Note: The receiver may not be able to receive the signal
from the sensor properly if they are too close to each
other. Move the sensor further from the receiver to test
again.

When the magnetic contact is
closed, the receiver will not beep.

When the magnetic contact is
broken (open), the receiver will
beep and a LED will flash.

4. INSTALLATION

SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION

The sensor should be mounted on the
door / window frame and the magnet
should be mounted on the door / window
itself. Mount the sensor or magnet as
high as possible.

You should find a grey alignment marking
on one side of the sensor. The magnet
should be in contact with this marking
when the door / window is closed (Refer
to Diagram A).

4. INSTALLATION (CONT)

If the surface of the frame is flat enough,
double-sided foam tape is sufficient, otherwise,
it is recommended to use the mounting plate and
screws as well.

You can select the buzzer volume by switching the
volume switch to “HI” or “LO” position.

The buzzer can be disabled by switching to the
“OFF” position.

After mounting the sensor, put the cover back
on with the Houselink logo in the upright
position.

When a sensor is triggered for a long period of time, you may stop the
buzzer by pressing the mute button. When another signal comes again, you
can disable the buzzer for all currently activated sensors by pressing the
mute button. The receiver will beep again if it receives another signal.

For instance, if you know the door / window sensor
will be on for a while when another family member
is cleaning the window, you may want to disable the
buzzer for this sensor. Then you can press the
“Mute” button after it starts to sound. If any other
sensor is triggered, the receiver will sound again.

5. OPERATION

When the magnetic contact is broken, such as when the door or window is open, the
sensor will send a signal to the receiver, and the receiver will beep and the corre­sponding zone red LED will flash.

When the battery level on the sensor drops to a certain level, or the sensor

is out of the operating range, the receiver will show a “loss of signal”
If the sensor is set to zone 1, zone 1 red LED on the receiver will flash, and the
receiver will emit a continuous “single beep”, i.e. “beep” pause, “beep”, pause….. etc.

If the sensor is set to zone 4, zone 4 red LED will flash, and the receiver will emit a con­tinuous “4 beeps”, i.e. “beep beep beep beep” pause “beep beep beep beep” pause ……etc.

indication. The re d LE D re pr e se n ti n g t h at z on e w ill flash rapidly, i.e. if zone

1 sensor is lost, the zone 1 red LED will flash rapidly.

When the loss of signal indication occurs, move the receiver closer to the

corresponding sensor and trigger that sensor. If the red LED stops flashing

rapidly, that means the receiver or sensor needs to be relocated. If the
By the number of beeps emitted by the receiver, user can identify which zone is triggered.

“loss of signal” indication persists, replace the battery of that sensor.
