Installation
Areas of use and function
This mini window alarm can be installed on doors, windows, cupboards and cabinets.
It can be used to deter burglars and for child safety in the home or e.g. in a mobile home.
The adhesive strips supplied with the device are all you will need for installation. The
device is installed without any wiring or electrical connection.
The mini window alarm consists of an alarm unit FA 602 Qand a magnet W. The
alarm unit detects when a door or a window is opened. The alarm unit is fitted on the
frame, while the magnet is mounted on the door leaf or window leaf (or vice versa).
As soon as the magnet is more than approx. 20 mm away from the activated alarm,
a very loud alarm will sound.
Before initial operation
The round cell batteries are already installed in new devices. However, they are
covered by a protective film, which you must remove. To do this:
oSet On / Off switch Rto “0” (off).
oOpen the battery compartment by pushing the battery compartment cover E
down.
oHold the batteries in place and pull the protective film out.
oClose the battery compartment.
oPrior to the final assembly at the desired location (see “Switching alarm on/ off”)
perform a provisional functional test of the device.
Choosing the installation position
oWhen choosing a position for installation of your mini window alarm, avoid direct,
intensive sunlight, vibrations, dust, heat, cold and damp.
Note: The efficiency of the magnet can be reduced on metallic doors or windows. In
this case, reduce the distance between the magnet Wand the alarm unit Q.

Last Information Update 10/2006 · Ident.No.: 10-2006-FA 602-GB / IE
It is important that there are no appliances with electromagnetic fields near to the
alarm, e.g. radio telephone, radio set or electric motor. These could have an effect on
the alarm function.
Installing the alarm unit
Attention! Do not drill or screw any additional screws into the housing of the alarm
unit Qor the magnet Wfor installation purposes.
oUse the supplied adhesive strips to fix the alarm unit Qand the magnets W.
oPlace the alarm unit Qat the edge of the window or door handle side (see also Fig. B).
oPlace the magnets Won the window or door frame (see also Fig C). If the frame
measures more than 12mm, place the magnet to the side of the frame (see Fig D).
Ensure that the side mark of the alarm Qis directly opposite the magnet’s arrow W
(tip of magnet’s arrow Wmust always show in the direction of the alarm Q).
The marking on the alarm and the magnets must also face one another.
Note: Alternatively, the magnets Wcan also be attached using screws (not supplied)
rather than using the adhesive strip. In this case, use a maximum 3.5 mm screws (e.g.
wooden screws 3 x 12 mm or tapping screws 2.9 x 13 mm) – the length of the screws
depends on the material and thickness of the frame. Please be sure not to bore or
screw into glass when attaching to a glass frame.
Important: the distance between the alarm Qand magnet Wmust be max. 10mm
(see Fig. B).
Lefthand installation:
o If you wish to fit the alarm on the lefthand side, turn it by 180° (“on its head”).
Operation
Switching the alarm on and off
oTo activate the alarm, switch the On / Off switch Rto “I” (On).
The alarm is now activated and emits a signal when the door or window is
opened (more than approx. 20mm between the alarm unit and the magnet). The
signal is only switched off when the door / window etc. is closed or by the On/ Off
switch R.
oTo deactivate the alarm or after the alarm signal has been triggered, switch the
On / Off switch Rto “O”.
Changing the batteries
oSet On / Off switch Rto “0” (off).
oOpen the battery compartment by pushing the battery compartment cover E
down (see Fig. A).
oCarefully remove the batteries, e.g. using a screw driver.
oPlace the new batteries in the correct positions. The correct polarity is indicated
in the battery compartment.
oPush the battery compartment cover Eback onto the alarm unit Q.
Note: always change all three batteries at the same time. If possible always use
alkaline batteries, as these guarantee longer service life.
