Choosing a Mounting Location
The sensor alarm’s main unit is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat wall surface.
Select a mounting location where the alarm is most likely to detect an intruder. We
recommend mounting it at a height of about 5.5 feet (1.7 meters). At this height the sensor alarm detects motion up to 30 feet (9.1 meters) away and from an angle of up to 100 degrees. However, there is a blind area of about 10 feet (3 meters) directly
below the main unit. Note: Your sensor’s alarm coverage depends on how high you mount it, the shape of
the room(s), furniture placement in the area, etc.
Checking the Coverage Area
Follow these steps so the sensor detects motion in the areas you want to protect:
1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm by entering the current security code.
2. Confirm that the area is clear of anything that might trigger the alarm (such as people and pets).
Mounting the Sensor
After you determine the best location for your sensor alarm, follow these steps:
1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the RED indicator should not be flashing) by entering the current security code.
2. Drill two holes l-3/8 inches (35mm) apart. Then thread a screw into each hole,
letting the heads extend about 3/16 inch (5mm).
3. Turn the main unit about 30 degrees counterclockwise, then slide the left screw head into the horizontal groove on the back of the unit.
4. Turn the main unit clockwise (so the right screw head slides into the curved groove) until it is secure.
-
Note: The two supplied mounting screws are suitable for mounting the sensor alarm’s main unit on a wooden surface. If mounting the main unit on drywall, masonry, or another type of surface, use the appropriate mounting hardware (not supplied).

Note: If you don’t press a button for about 30 seconds, the sensor alarm beeps, the PROG indicator turns off automatically, and (if you have not completed Step 5) the security code remains unchanged. Try arming and disarming your sensor alarm from the main unit to be sure the security code works (see Arming and Disarming the Sensor
Alar-m on page 13).
Remote Control
Each time you remove and replace the batteries in the main unit, you must re-program the unit to recognize the remote control’s signals and security code. If you change the security code, there is no need to re-program the main unit; it will still recognize the remote signals.
Follow these steps to program the main unit so you can use your remote control:
1.
Set the slide switch on the main unit to SILENT setting.
2.
Press PROG. The sensor alarm beeps once and its green PROG indicator lights.
3.
Press LEARN. The sensor alarm beeps twice and its PROG indicator flashes slowly.
4.
Enter your four-digit security code. The sensor alarm beeps three times and its PROG indicator flashes quickly. Press ARM or DISARM on your remote control. The alarm’s PROG light goes on, and
5.
the sensor alarm chirps, indicating that it received the remote signal.
Press PROG. The sensor alarm’s PROG indicator turns off.
6.
Note: If you don’t press a button for about 30 seconds, the sensor alarm beeps, the PROG indicator turns off automatically, and (if you have not completed Step 4) the sen-
sor alarm does not recognize the remote signals. Start over at Step 1.

be activated using the EchoMotion keychain remote. Each remote is programmed for your unit. Other
remotes cannot be used with your unit unless they are programmed for this main unit; however, more than one remote can be configured to operate the unit. Simply follow the programming procedure below for
each remote you would like to use with the unit.
Using the Remote
Once you have ensured that there is power to the unit, you should program the
keychain remote.
1.
Press the PROG button on the main unit. The GREEN indicator light on the right will come on.
2.
Press the LEARN button. You will see the GREEN indicator light flashing steadily.
3.
Enter the four-digit security code (defaulted to l-2-3-4, in sequence).
4.
Press either the ARM or DISARM button on the remote until the green light on
the unit turns solid.
5.
Press the PROG button again, and the GREEN indicator light will turn off. Your
keychain remote is now successfully programmed. Use it to arm or disarm the
unit, or press both buttons at the same time to use the “panic” function.
If you do not want a remote to be used with your unit any longer, the external power adapter and batteries must be briefly removed from the main unit. All remotes pro­grammed for this unit will be removed, and the security code will be reset to the default security code (l-2-3-4).
Do this by hitting the buttons in the following sequence:
The main alarm is activated when the unit is put into panic mode or when the main unit
is armed and motion is detected.
At any time, the main alarm may be activated by pressing the PANIC button on the keypad, or the ARM and DISARM buttons simultaneously on the remote. This may be done when the unit is armed or disarmed. When the PANIC button is pressed, a main alarm will immediately be transmitted. If the main unit is in SIREN mode, the audible alarm will also sound.
Page 13
What Happens When the Main Alarm is Activated
SMARTHOME.COM(TM) 1-800-SMART-HOME 949-221-9200
http://www.smarthome.com
When the main alarm is activated, the RED indicator will turn on. If the unit is in SIREN
mode, the audible alarm will sound for a few seconds, and then it will be silenced as the alarm message is sent to EchoPort Central’“. As soon as the alarm is sent, the audible alarm will sound again. While the alarm is active, the remote cannot be used to disarm the unit. It must be disarmed using the main unit’s keypad.
After 25 seconds to 5 minutes (after the main alarm has been activated), the GREEN indicator will begin to flash quickly and report a status code, indicating a successful trans-
mission. This indicator will remain on for about 6d seconds. Once the alarm is received at EchoPort Central, messages will be sent using all of the notification methods that have been set up for the unit.
If the main alarm could not be sent to EchoPort Central, the RED indicator will indicate the error status. The unit will automatically attempt to retransmit the alarm up to 10 times.
After the alarm has been active for about two minutes, the unit will enter the armed state again, and if the main or auxiliary alarm is activated, another alarm will be sent. At this point the RED indicator will flash slowly, indicating that the unit is armed.
The auxiliary alarm can be used to attach an external device such as a standard door

What Happens When the Auxiliary Alarm is Activated
If you are using an auxiliary alarm device, it is important that the device be properly attached to the main unit through the auxiliary device input. The auxiliarly device should be in its “normal” position before the unit is powered on.
If the external device is normally closed and should send an alarm if opened, then
make sure the device is closed before power is applied to the unit.
If the external device is normally open and should send an alarm if closed, then
make sure the device is open before power is applied to the unit. For example, if the
auxiliary input is connected to a door and you would like to be notified when the door
has been opened, make sure the auxiliary door contact sensor is connected to the
unit and the door is closed before the unit is powered on.
Once the unit is armed, if the auxiliary device is opened (or closed if the device was open during power on), the auxiliary alarm will be activated. The auxiliary alarm operates in the same manner as the main alarm once it is activated.

transmitted over control channels in cellular networks using standard IS-41B signaling
mechanisms. These short data packets are transmitted by cellular devices and are routed to the Aeris.net central hub facility over existing SS7 (Signaling System 7) networks. The Aeris.net hub identifies EchoPort, Inc.‘” as the service provider and routes the data for delivery via a dedicated back-end link.
