siren and strobe lights.
- Wireless Door/Win ow Contact Detector (MC)(One Pair)
Uses a magnetically operated s itch to sense the opening/closing of door or indo .
- Wireless Movement / Passive Infrare Detector (PIR) (One Unit)
The PIR uses Infra-Red technology to sense body heat of a moving person. One unit
can cover an entire room.
- Wireless Remote Key (One Unit)
Used for full arming, part arming or disarming the system. In addition it is used for the
panic function. (fitted ith 3V CR2032 lithium coin cell)

four-digit user PIN code ould return to OFF state.
Full Alarm (ARM state) – The CU ill sound full alarm (internal siren) hen it receives
alarm signals.
Part Arm (Home state) – Arming the system so that certain zones omitted (i.e. ill not
trigger an alarm).
Entry/Exit Zone – The CU recognize MC zone as entry and/or exit zone.
OK Beep – Rapid double tone; it indicates correct operation.
Error Beep – Long single tone; it indicates incorrect operation.
Section 2 – Installing your System
2.1 – Location of components
GSM Wireless Alarm Conrol Panel (CU) – Location
In choosing a suitable location you should bear in mind:
The need to reach the keypad easily, ithin the 99 seconds of entering and leaving
the premises ( ideally passing one detector).
The Alarm panel should not be visible from the exterior of the protected premises.
Reception of radio signals can be affected by the presence of metal objects ithin a
fe feet of the CU. (E.g. mirrors, central heating radiators, garage doors and cars
parked in garages on the opposite side of the all. Avoid any location hich is near
( ithin 60cm) to these or any other large metal objects.
Having chosen the location, o not mount at this stage.
Wireless Door/Win ow Contact Detector (MC) – Location
These parts contain a radio transmitter and should not be situated
near large metal objects.
 Contains t o parts. The larger one (the actual detector) contains
the batteries and the electronics. The smaller part is simply a
magnet inside.

PIR
2 - 2.5M
 Designed to detect a door or indo opening. The detector is usually
mounted next to it on the door or indo . For optimum ireless range, they
should be mounted as high as possible.
 In most applications, it is fitted to the front door.
Having chosen the location, o not mount at this stage.
Wireless Movement / Passive Infrare Detector (PIR) – Location
 The detector should not be mounted near to
large metal objects or on metal surfaces. It
needs to be mounted on a all or in corner at a
height of approximately 2-2.5 meters for the
best general coverage in an average room. The
detector has been designed to avoid false alarms,
nevertheless, it is best to avoid installing the unit
here it is facing directly at sources of heat such
as fires and boilers and al ays try to avoid facing
at the indo . A PIR can face at a radiator but
should not be situated above it.
 Do not position a PIR here its field of vie may be obstructed (e.g. by
curtains.)
Also, note that PIR orks best hen sensing a movement across rather than along
their detection beams.
 Allo ing for pets – The PIR senses moving body heat. In some cases, the
movement of pets may also be detected. To overcome this it is recommended that
the pets are kept in one specific room out of sight of a PIR hen the system is
armed.
Having chosen the location, o not mount at this stage.
