SPECIAL NOTES and DEFINITIONS:
1. The door needs to be closed to test the unit.
2. When operating the ON/OFF switch, there is a slight delay.
3. The key is inserted and removed only in the vertical position (home position).
4. Key function: counter clockwise (CCW) = Armed; clockwise (CW) = Disarmed
5. The battery needs to be disconnected to register changes in the slide switches.
a. Status Indicator (This will affect battery life)
b. Disable Auto Rearm
6. The bottom left switch is only used when the outside key control function is used.
7. If re-handing is necessary remove battery and place magnet on left or right side and reconnect the battery.
OPERATIONS:
To arm the system, close the door and turn the key counter clockwise (CCW) to the 8 o'clock position or until you
feel and/or hear a click. The switch on the bottom right side of the board should be engaged by the plastic
actuator and maintained. This is the 'ON' position. The red light should blink twice and the green light will come
on solid for the arming time sequence (default 15 seconds). After the arming time, the green light will turn off and
the unit will beep three times. At this time, the alarm is armed and if the door is opened the alarm will sound and
the red light will turn on.
DISARMING:
To turn off the alarm or disarm the system, turn the key clockwise (CW) to the 2 o'clock position.
The bottom right switch should be released.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the unit does not arm, the magnet may need to be re-aligned or shimmed closer to the EAX-500. If the unit fails
to operate, confirm the slide switches are in the default condition (see step 4) and disconnect and reconnect the
battery. If re-handing is necessary remove battery and place magnet on left or right side and reconnect the battery.
LOW BATTERY ALERT:
1. Siren will beep and red LED will blink at approximately 45 second intervals when battery is low
STATUS INDICATOR:
1. Slide the switch to ON and then, install battery.
2. If the unit is armed, the red LED will blink every 3 seconds.
3. If the unit is disarmed, the green LED will blink every 3 seconds.
Disable AUTO REARM:
1. Slide switch to OFF and then, install battery.
2. Unit arms as described above.
3. Once the unit is in full alarm and the door closes, the alarm will shut off after 2 minutes.
