INTRODUCTION This Wireless Security System represents a major improvement in protection for your home and property. The use of Wireless Detectors provide easy and convenient method of use and installation and enables the use of as many wireless detectors as required. The system operates under micro-processor control and boasts a number of Programmable features. However, the software has been preprogrammed to suit the majority of applications thereby avoiding any complicated and unnecessary programming functions. In order to dispel some of the myths surrounding Wireless Alarm Systems our system uses a Very High Frequency (VHF) transmission that has been specially allocated to Wireless Home Security Systems. It uses the frequency transmission as a medium for digital data information from your system detectors. This type of digital circuitry. The day to day use of other typical radio transmitting devices and apparatus such as Mobile Phones, Intercom Systems and other wireless alarm systems will not effect the normal operation of this security system. This manual will guide you through the installation of the entire system with clear step by step guides and advice on how to expand the system to cover every room in your property. If however, you experience and difficulties refer to the Problem Solving page in this manual or call our technical help line.. The following tools are required for installation 1 x Small flat blade screwdriver 1 x Medium Posi type screwdriver 1 x Small Posi type screwdriver 1 x Small hammer 1 x Pair of wire stripers 1 x Hand drill and masonry drill set WARNING The ingress of dust, damage to cases, printed Circuit Boards or other associated items supplied with the system will invalidate your warranty. This system is designed for indoor use only with the exception of External Siren units as specially stated. You may be required to advise your local authorities of the installation of this equipment. If in double you should check with your local Enviromental department or Law Enforcement Agency. If you choose to use Electrical installation tools please refer to the Safety guides recommended by their manufacturer. The use of an RCD circuit breaker and adequate eye protection is strongly recommended when drilling and hammering. Please do not risk your safety during the installation of this product. If you are unfamiliar with the use of tools and ladders please consult and Electrician or other competent person.

HOME BUTTON : Enables the user to enter the system into Home Mode thereby arming only certain detectors 4. ARM BUTTON : Used to arm the system following the code entry. 5. DISARM BUTTON : Used to disarm the system after the code entry. 6. PWR/ARM LED : The LED is red in arm mode and green in disarm mode or power normal. 7. LOW BAT. LED : The LED will flash simultaneously with the zone LED to indicate the detector battery is running low and must be changed. 8. ZONE 1 – 4 LED : The Zone LED’s illuminate when a detector has been activated. If activated when the system is in Disarm mode the LED will remain on for 3 minutes only, If activated in Arm mode the LED will remain on until the system is re-armed. This serves as a testing and memory function during day to day operation. 9. Rx LED: Indicates reception level from detectors. 10. BUILT-IN SIREN: Sounds when the system is triggered. 11. TERMINAL BLOCK: Expansion connectors for external siren, strobe and auto dialer. 12. FUSE: 1A 13. SITE CODE 14. TAMPER SWITCH: Designed to protect the rear cover from removal. When removed, The sirens will sound instantly. 15. BATTERY COMPARTMENT: Holds 6pcs of Ni-Mh rechargeable Battery (AA 1.2V). 16. AC ADAPTOR INPUT JACK 17. CABLE ACCESS ROUTE: In order to allow cables access into the back of the control panel. 18. WALL MOUNT SLOT: Holes for mounting the control panel on a wall. Fig. 2

Before proceeding with any part of the installation you must give very careful consideration to the location of detectors, the control panel and external siren unit. It would prove extremely useful to sketch a plan of your property and identify the optimum location of each component of the system. The base pack is designed to suit the smallest property and provide a significant improvement in protection. If your home or property consists of 4 or more rooms you wil find it very difficult to protect the entire property effectively. The use of additional detectors is strongly recommended in larger buildings, for example a typical home consisting of 4 rooms on the lower floor and 4 rooms on the upper floor should use at least 4 PIR Movement detectors and 3 Door/Window contacts. All detectors set to Zone 4 will not activate they system when set into Home Mode. As an example- this is ideal for proteting Bedrooms and Hallway so that the system may be entered into Home Mode during the night allowing the occupants access to the upper rooms only. Fig. 4 shows a typical plan showing this type of Dwelling and how best to position the detectors. Note: it is possible to operate any number of detectors on each zone. Fig. 4 Note: The Control Panel is positioned at a center point between detectors for optimum transmitting performance. CONTROL PANEL The optimum transmitting range of your detectors is dependant on the location of your Control Panel and the number of walls between your detectors and Control Panel. The Control Panel should be located at a point central to the building thereby ensuring easy access for operating via the Keypad on a day to day basis. Do not screw the Control Panel to a wall until you are satisfied that all detectors are working with the Control Panel. The location you choose must be close to the building access route and within easy reach of a Mains power socket. Under no circumstances should you attempt to extend the cable from the Mains power adaptor. EXTERNAL SIREN UNIT (If supplied) If your system includes this unit you must choose a location for the External Siren that is preferably out of easy reach and clearly visible. Use the screws supplied to fix the unit to the wall. Note: Avoid running the alarm cable along the surface of any external wall or close to mains power cables. If the cable is run under carpets please avoid possible damage from carpet nails. WIRELESS PIR DETECTOR (PIR) The PIR detector has a detecting coverage of 12 meters in a 120 degree arc on 3 layers. Install the detector at a height approx. 2.1 meters (7 feet) from the floor. The PIR detector should be located in the corner of the room where a intruder would be forced to cross the detector’s area of view. The PIR detector responds more effectively when crossed, as opposed to movement towards the unit. Ensure that the detector is within area where pets have no access. Choose a location for your PIR Detectors in a room which is closest to the Control Panel. Avoid aiming directly at heat sources such as radiators, cookers and heater units. The PIR detector cannot see through objects such as glass windows and curtains. Animals including cats and dogs must be kept out of areas protected by a PIR. The ideal mounting height is approximately 2.1 meters off the ground. Note: Avoid the installation of PIR detectors that result in one area of the property being protected or covered by 2 different PIR detectors. For example, do not install 2 PIR detectors on one room protecting the same area. MAGNETIC DOOR TRANSMITTERS (MDTs) The MDT units can be used for a number of functions. The most popular is protection to doors and windows. The unit can however, be connected to a switch and by setting the Zone Code switches all to OFF the panic/tamper zone can be activated. This is ideal as a Wireless Panic Alarm. MDT units are supplied ready to use as a door or window protector. It is important to firstly identify the most vulnerable doors and windows in the house and protect each one with and MDT unit.
