2. Installation
Install the Alarm Controller mounting plate at an accessible point on the
wall 1.4m +/- 0.2m from floor level. Consider an alternative location if
the controller will be operated by a disabled person.
Also consider security and chose a location where it will not be accidently
or otherwise operated.
Turn on the system by sliding the switch to the on position & check the
power up sequence.
A video of the Alarm Controller installation, house coding & operation is
available on our website - see ‘Contact Us’ section.

3. House Coding
It is essential to House Code the Alarm Controller to all the other RF
Alarms and devices in the system to ensure they will not communicate
with nearby systems. Failure to house code the system may also result
in a system malfunction.
Press and hold the House Code button (H CODE) on the back of the
controller until all segments light up blue, then release. The segments
will flash rapidly for a moment on entering house code.
House code all other RF Alarms and devices in the system. Consult the
instruction manuals on how to house code the Alarms and devices. It
is essential that each individual alarm / device is put into house code
mode in it’s actual location.

Return to the Alarm Controller and check that all segments are
flashing blue. The number of flashes should equal the number of RF
Alarms and devices in the system. A system with 3 x Smoke Alarms, 1 x
CO alarm and 1 x Alarm Controller will result in 5 blue flashes. It may
take up to 10 minutes before all 5 flashes are seen.
The flash pattern will repeat every 5 to 10 seconds while the Alarm
Controller remains in house code.
If it fails to flash the correct number of times, then consult the
‘Troubleshooting the RF’ section of this instruction manual.
Now, walk around the house to verify that all the other RF Alarms and
devices are giving the correct amount of flashes.
If any of these fail to flash the correct number of times, then consult
the ‘Troubleshooting the RF’ section of this instruction manual.

To complete the commissioning, the system must exit house code
mode.
The units will automatically exit house code after 30 minutes. Once
coded the system will not communicate with any other RF Alarms and
devices outside the house coded group.
To manually exit house code press the house code (H CODE) button on
the back of the Alarm Controller. When all the segments light up blue,
release the button. This unit will then send an exit house code signal to all
the other RF Alarms and devices to exit house code.
After a short period the blue light will turn off and the system will return
to standby mode (normal). Depending on the number of RF Alarms and
devices in the system this period could vary from 5 to 20 seconds.
If you choose to make the Alarm Controller tamper proof remove the
pip (plastic post) using a pliers or similar tool.
Do not do this until the house coding procedure has been completed!

Slide the Alarm Controller onto the mounting base on the wall.
Check that the RF system is working by pressing the button on the Alarm
Controller until the TEST segment lights blue. This indicates a RF test
signal has been activated.
All the Alarms in the system will sound for a short period and then stop.
If the test fails, consult the ‘Troubleshooting the RF’ section.
