Introducing the
SolarGuard™ SG4000
Congratulations in selecting the SolarGuard™
Wireless Burglar Alarm System. You have
taken a sensible step towards protecting your
family and property. The SolarGuard console
and wireless detectors provide an extremely
easy installation and are amazingly simple to
operate.
The SolarGuard™ Control Panel is the core to
the unique innovation in design of this
product. It features a 2 way dial-up system
that allows you to set the system to call your
mobile or office (4 locations max) when
activated. You can also dial-up your system at
any time and listen in on your property. There
is also a compulsory PIN authorisation
procedure that confirms the high level of
security this system operates.
The SolarGuard™ Bell Box is fully protected
by a tough Polycarbonate UV proof housing.
All electronic components are protected with
moisture repellent material applied during
the manufacturing process to ensure long,
reliable, trouble free operation. Two integral
front and rear tamper switches give
maximum security to the unit. When
activated, the SolarGuard™ sounds a built-in
twin siren system at a powerful 115dB’s and
strobe (optional extra) will flash. The siren
duration is selectable from between 1 and 8
minutes. If it’s allowed to sound for the full
siren duration the strobe will latch and
continue for approximately 20 minutes or
until the system is disarmed.
Q: Can I give additional remote controls to family members/friends etc.?
A: Yes - use part number RM01 (see opposite)
Q: In disarm (UNSET) mode, the alarm sounds when I walk in front of a sensor!
A: You must check the zone settings for the sensor that is activating the alarm. It should be
set to zone 1,2, 3, 4, or 5 for standard operation.
Q: The SolarGuard battery is completely discharged!
A: You can use the quick charge socket in the SolarGuard with a standard AC or DC 12V
mains adapter. This will charge the battery faster than sunlight.
Q: The LED in the PIR detector does not light up!
A: In NORMAL mode, the light will not come on when movement is detected.
Q: I have a sensor which appears to be out of range of the SolarGuard. How can I use it in
my system?
A: Use the range extender ET01-434 in conjunction with your sensor.
Q: How many detectors can be added to the system?
A: As many as you like provided they are situated within radio range of the control panel.

STEP 2
Choosing your site code
What is your site
code?
Your site code is a code set
by you, which identifies
components of your alarm
system. It is set by the first
9 switches located in every
PIR, magnetic door contact
and remote control. Every
device must have the same
setting for the system to
function correctly.
Why have a site code?
The site code is a security
feature which stops
unauthorized persons
disarming your alarm
system with a newly
purchased remote control.
In order for a remote
control to operate your
alarm - the site code in that
remote must be identical
to yours.
Do I need to change
the site code from its
default setting?
No, but we recommend
you change the default
setting as all of our systems
are shipped with the same
site code. Changing the
code will increase the
security offered by your
system.

family members, neighbours etc.
DO NOT program the alarm system to call the emergency services!
If you require calling through an extension to an outside line, for example 9, the system
can add a pause to do this feature.

What is a Zone Code?
The Zone code sets the
desired behavior of a
sensor. It also enables you
to identify which sensor
has triggered your system
or has a low battery. Every
PIR and magnetic door
contact has a zone setting.
How do I set the Zone
Code?
The code is set by
modifying switches 10,11
and 12 in your PIRs and
door contacts. Please refer
to the table opposite when
setting the zone setting.
NOTICE:
You can skip this
step if you do not
wish to change the

Installing the PIR sensor
What is a PIR sensor?
Your PIR detector is used to detect
movement in a large area such as your living
room, hallway or similar.
PIR is an acronym for Passive Infra Red.
Where should I install the PIR?
You can install the PIR in any area you wish to
protect. We would recommend installing it an
area where entry though windows may be
possible such as a downstairs living room or
hallway. Install it in a top corner of the room,
looking into the centre of the room. Do not
install above a radiator or facing windows.
Is it ‘pet friendly’?
PIR’s detect the movement of warm bodies,
so we recommend using this detector in an
area where large pets are not present whilst
the system is set.
Can I install a PIR in my garage or
conservatory?
PIR’s are sensitive to temperature change so
installing it in a garage/conservatory may
cause false alarms.
How long does the battery last?
In normal operation, the battery will last
between 18 months and 5 years.
STEP 1
Fix the mounting
bracket to the
target wall using
the supplied wall
plugs and screws.
Requires 4mm
drill bit.
STEP 2
Install the
supplied 9V
battery into the
PIR and set the
MODE switch to
the ‘TEST’
position.
STEP 3
Clip both parts of
the PIR casing
together.
STEP 4
Attach the
second part of
the mounting
bracket to the PIR
case by sliding
upward.
STEP 5
Mate both parts
of the bracket
together and
direct the PIR into
the centre of the
room.
ENSURE THAT THE CONTROL
PANEL IS SET TO TEST MODE
PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE PIR
AND DOOR CONTACTS.
Enter S1234* on the control panel
keypad.

continued...
Keeping your PIR in TEST mode will
dramatically reduce the battery life. Therefor
we recommend you switch your PIR to
NORMAL mode when you have finished
your installation and testing the system. This
will ensure that the batteries last between 18
months and a 5 years depending on usage.
Help! When I switch to NORMAL
mode, the PIR stops working.
A PIR that works in TEST mode, will always
work when switched to NORMAL mode.
However, please be aware of the following
points:
1) The red indicator light will not function
in NORMAL mode. This is correct, and is
designed to increase the battery life.
2) The PIR will sleep for 4 minutes when
movement has been detected. Whilst
sleeping, the PIR will NOT detect movement.
After the sleep period the PIR will beginning
detecting again.
3) The PIR will not function with the cover
removed. Please ensure that the cover is fully
in place.
Move the mode switch into the
down position - marked NORM.
ENSURE THAT THE SOLARGUARD CONSOLE
IS SET TO BATTERY TEST MODE PRIOR TO
OPENING THE PIR AND DOOR CONTACTS.

seconds until you hear 6 chirps from your bell box

When considering the location of installing your Solarguard Bell Box, think about the area
that gets the most amount of sunlight. This page will help you consider the possibilities.
The best position to mount your Solarguard bell box is on a south-facing wall. This is
because it is the most likely position to attract the sunlight. Another location is the East and
West walls. However, it is most likely that these places are only half as effective. (Only
visible to the sun for half a day!)
Situations to avoid:
• A complete shaded wall
• Avoid shadows from guttering roof overhangs, fascia boards, neighbouring walls etc.

This function is allows users to call in from anywhere in the world to access the system.
Users calling in will have the ability to enter the system into Full Arming Mode or
Disarming mode, as well as monitor/listen in (via built-in microphone on control panel) or
speak (via built-in 2-way speakerphone feature). This can all be accomplished by
pressing specified keys on any keypad, while calling in from anywhere in the world.
Remote Access from Any Outside Telephone
The user must call into the system, and the system should pick up in certain amount of rings
as specified by the Remote call-in ring cycle. The caller’s procedure and options are as
follows:
1) Call the phone number that is connected to the control panel
2) Wait for the system to answer in correct amount of rings (as specified while
programming remote call-in ring cycle)
3) When you hear the confirmation tone, enter your new (or default) PIN
4) Within 10 seconds after you hear the confirmation tone, press a key for the

This function is used for call recipients to respond to an alarm notification call. Call
recipients will have the option to monitor/listen in (via built-in microphone on Control
Panel), speak (via built in 2-way speakerphone feature), have the system hang up and
dial the next programmed phone number, have the system stop dialling all programmed
phone numbers, or replay the alarm notification message. This can be accomplished by
pressing specified keys on any telephone keypad, from anywhere in the world.
Respond During an Alarm Notification Call
Upon alarm activation, the auto-dialer will call out to each of the programmed phone
numbers and play the Alarm Notification Message (as recorded by user). The call recipients
procedure and options are as follows:
1) Answer the call, then wait for the pre-recorded Alarm Notification Message to
finish,

Where should I install the bell box?
Ideally, the bell box should be located on a
south facing wall in position where it will
receive a good level of sunlight. If this is not
possible then an east or west facing wall with
good sunlight should be acceptable.
STEP 1
Following the supplied “MAIN UNIT FIXING
HOLE TEMPLATE”, drill 3 holes using a 5mm
Masonry bit. Insert the supplied 3 x Plastic
Wall Plugs into the holes.
STEP 2
Insert the top screw and hang the SolarGuard
bell box on the wall.
STEP 3
Remove the blue cover by removing the
screws located on either side.
STEP 4
Insert the two remaining screws into the
holes on either side of the SolarGuard circuit
board.
STEP 5
Insert the supplied 6V Sealed lead acid
battery and connect battery terminals. Ensure
that red is connected to positive on the
battery, and black is connected to negative
on the battery.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
PLEASE FOLLOW YOUR POWER
TOOLS SAFETY GUIDELINES.
ALWAYS USE AN RCD BREAKER
WITH MAINS POWER TOOLS.
PRO’s TIP!
To avoid false
triggering caused
by the rear tamper
switch not making
good contact with
the wall, place a
piece of lin or
plastic behind the
rear tamper switch
to create a flat
surface flush with
the bell box.
continued...
The Solarguard bell box contains some switches which are not used
with this alarm system. The only switch that is important is the MODE
switch that must be in position B to work with this system. There is
also a jack plug socket on the PCB just above the START switch that
can be used to plug in a power supply to give the battery a boost
charge. (Please note the polarity on the board)
Page 16

STEP 9
Learning the control panel code
to the Bell Box
The SG4000 Control Panel needs to learn
the security code from the Wireless bell box
before they can communicate.
STEP 1:
Remove the blue cover on the front of the
wireless bell box. This is held in place by 2
screws on the lower edge.
(note: If you are testing the system before installing,
keep the bell box at least 2-3m away from the control
panel)
STEP 2:
Install the 6V lead acid battery and ensure
that the MODE switch is in position ‘B’.
STEP 3:
Press the PANIC button on the control
panel. The control panel built in siren will
sound.
STEP 4:
After 2 seconds, press the learn button on
the bell box.
(note: The delay is very important as the panel has a 2
second delay before transmitting.)
STEP 5:
The LED on the wireless bell box will
illuminate and the bell box should emit 2
beeps to indicate that the system has
learned.
STEP 6:
The wireless Bell Box may sound once
learning is successful. If this happens, then
let the alarm sound for 10 seconds, then
disable it at the control panel. The 10 second
delay is important to ensure that the panel
will have completed its transmission.
Otherwise, it may not disarm the Bell Box. If
this happens, press the panic button again,
and wait for 15 seconds before disarming
the system.
NOTE:
It is best to unplug the telephone line
so that the control panel won’t dial
out!
NOTE:
The LED will only remain lit for 5
seconds.If the wireless Bell Box does
not bleep twice within this period,
you must repeat the steps above. You may
need to try several times to get the timing
of signals right.

STEP 9 TROUBLESHOOTING
The steps described below are an alternative version to the stages previously. We have
found this cycle to be less complicated and in most circumstances more reliable on
completion. However, we have only included this as an additional help page. All the stages
are similar, but we recommend two people are present; one at the bell box, while the other
stands at the control panel.
STEP 1:
Remove the blue cover on the front of the
wireless bell box. This is held in place by 2
screws on the lower edge.
(note: If you are testing the system before installing,
keep the bell box at least 2-3m away from the control
panel)
STEP 2:
Install the 6V lead acid battery and ensure
that the MODE switch is in position ‘B’.
STEP 3:
Press the PANIC button on the control panel. The control panel built in siren will sound.
STEP 4:
After 15 seconds, Disarm using your PIN
(Default: 1234) followed quickly by the learn
button on the bell box.
STEP 5:
The LED on the wireless bell box will
illuminate and the bell box should emit 2
bleeps to indicate that the system has
learned.
STEP 6:
The wireless Bell Box may sound once
learning is successful. If this happens, then let
the alarm sound for 10 seconds, then disable
it at the control panel. The 10 second delay is
important to ensure that the panel will have completed its transmission. Otherwise, it may
not disarm the Bell Box. If this happens, press the panic button again, and wait for 15
seconds before disarming the system.
