Pairing the door contact alarm with another
unit from the range

The standalone alarm range has been designed specifically
to operate as single units or be paired together to work as
kits.
Up to 3 of the master units – those that have sensors as
well as sirens – can be paired together. The number of
slave units – those that do not have sensors – that will
work together is limitless. This door contact alarm is a
master unit.
Each master unit has a unique radio code, which can be sent
to any other unit in order to make them work together.

The procedure for doing this is as follows:

1. Starting with any master unit which you want to be
the main teacher unit for the system

2. Enter your PIN code and then press the Yale button
afterward.

3. The LED will flash in the sequence green, orange, red

4. The unit is now in ‘sending’ mode for the next 2

minutes. The green
and orange
LED will flash every
second

5. Hold the rear metal
contact points of the
main unit against the
‘eyebrow’ contact
points of the learner
unit to which you are
pairing

6. To confirm the units
are paired, the
learner unit will have Red LED on constantly (indicates
units in contact) and will beep once afterward. Only
release after you hear this beep.

7. Repeat this contact for all other learner units you want
to pair with the teacher unit

8. After the 2 minutes ‘sending mode the main unit will
return to disarmed mode. The red LED will flash 3
times to confirm.

9. If you wish to exit the learning mode within the 2
minute duration, press CLR button twice on
the teacher unit to exit.

if you are using just a single device in order to conserve power.

To turn OFF radio: Enter your 4 digit PIN followed by “2, Yale, Yale, Yale,
Yale”.

Factory reset

If you forget your PIN or the system malfunctions, you can press the reset
button (locates behind battery cover) to erase all memory. Please ensure the
device is powered and system is in Disarm mode. After reset you will need to
set-up your PIN again and pair with other devices (if required).

and press CLR. The red LED will flash quickly and the unit
will beep once to confirm the unit is disarmed.

mode it was in prior (e.g. siren sounding)

Alarm activated

If the unit is activated the siren will sound for 2 minutes.
The orange LED will also flash (this is to show which unit
has been triggered, if you have more than one device set
up to work together).

Care and maintenance

To clean the unit, simply use a soft, slightly damp with
water, cloth and wipe dry immediately.
Caution: Never use chemicals to clean the unit as this may
cause damage to the plastic and result in the alarm not
