3.0 Preparation
3.1 GSM SIM card
To get the best out of the system, it is crucial to take some precautions before making
use of the alarm system.
The EM8605 alarm system will send you a text message or gives you a call when
there is an alarm. In order to do so, the system needs a SIM card from a mobile phone
provider. Please check below points before buying a SIM card:
1) Choose a mobile provider which has the best network coverage at the place
where you would like to mount the alarm system.
2) When using a prepaid card, make sure that info messages from the provider will
be send by e-mail instead of text message. You cannot read text messages on the
alarm system. Please choose a provider with a web portal to upgrade your credit.
3) The voicemail function should be switched off. Insert the SIM card into a cell
phone and refer to the information of your provider to turn the voicemail off.
4) Remove the PIN code of the SIM card. Follow the steps below to turn off the PIN
code of the SIM card.
a) Apple (iOS) Go to Settings => Phone => SIM PIN. Turn off SIM PIN here
b) Android, go to Applications => Settings => more => Security =>
Set up SIM card lock. Switch off SIM card lock here.
Please check www.eminent-online.com for more information and instruction movies

3.2 Download APP
The EM8605 system can be set and operated with an APP, but it can also be fully
used with SMS commands.
The APP is only available for Android and Apple (iOS) phones.
Search for the "EM8605" APP in the Google Play store or the Apple Store.
See chapter "Apple and Android APP" for more information on the operation of the
APP
3.3 Plan for sensor placement
Before starting to install the alarm system it is important to make a plan. Determine the
locations you want to secure and what type of sensor is needed. Also you need to
determine what group type or configuration the sensor needs to be installed in. Every
type of sensor needs to be placed in a group; Home-group, normal group or 24-hours
group.
Illustration below is an example of a plan that determines what sensor should be
placed for the preferred security.
A. Alarm system
B. Remote control
C. Siren

1. Front door : Window/door contact
2. Living room : Motion detector PIR
3. Window - Living room : Window/door contact
4. Window - Living room : Window/door contact
5. Door-terrace : Window/door contact
6. Window – Bedroom : window/door contact
7. Bedroom : Motion detector PIR
8. Kitchen : Gas detector
Check www.eminent-online.com for an overview of all available sensors and
accessories.
3.4 Configure the sensors in a group
Every sensor can be configured to be added to a single group by setting the jumper
settings; home-group, normal group or 24-hours group.
Bellow you will see an overview of the meaning and how to configure the jumper
settings for that type of group.
Remark: Determine before pairing with the alarm system in which group the sensor
will be operational. Once the sensor is successfully paired with the system, the group
cannot be changed after pairing!
Remark: If the group of a sensor needs to be changed all sensors need to be paired
with the alarm system once again. It is not possible to remove one single sensor from
a group! (See chapter “Delete all wireless sensors by text message”)
Remark: It’s recommended to install detectors that need to be operational 24-hours,
for example smoke detectors, in the 24-hours-group.
Notice: In the manuals of the accessories there is also mentioned a “Single-group” the
single group is not supported by the EM8605 sensors configured as Single zone will
work as a Normal group on the EM8605.

The default jumper settings for a window/door contact are D0, D1 and D2 (Normal-
group), for the motion detector the default settings are D1 and D2 (Home-group).This
means that the window/door contact will be enabled when the alarm system is in full
security mode or in-home security. The motion detector will only be enabled when the
alarm system is in full security mode. You can enable the full or in-home security by
using the Alarm system, remote control, the EM8605 APP or your mobile phone.
When the jumper settings are set to D1 and D2 the sensor is configured in the Home-
group. In full security mode the sensor will be enabled. If In-home security is activated
this sensor will be disabled.
Sensors with a jumper setting of D0, D1 and D3 are configured as 24hours-group.
These sensors are always enabled regardless the status of the security system.
3.5 Registered sensors
The motion detector and window/door sensor included with the alarm system are
already paired to the system. The motion detector is set by default as Home-group
and the window/door contact is configured as Normal-group.
The window/door contact is paired with Zone 1. The motion detector is paired with
Zone 2.
The supplied remote controls are already paired to the system.
3.6 Register accessories/sensors
1. Push the button on the back of the alarm system (Check if the LED status
shown below is lid red).
2. Now add the accessory/sensor by activating the accessory/sensor (For example
push a button on the remote or remove the magnet from the door/windows
sensor).
3. If you hear a beep the sensor is registered to the system. If you hear 2 beeps this
indicates this sensor is already registered (repeat these steps for every
accessory/sensor you wish to pair with the alarm system).

10 | ENGLISH
3.7 Register wireless siren
The wireless siren is an extra accessory. To register the siren to the system press
shortly the connect button of the siren. The LED will turn on. Press the “SOS” of the
control panel. You will hear a beep to notify you the registration is successful.

These numbers are the mobile numbers that will receive a text message when the
alarm is triggered. Send a text message with “3” to the alarm system. You will receive
a text message with the current settings. You need to copy this message and paste it
in a new text message and add the mobile numbers behind the numbers in the
message.
You need to make sure the country code is entered first. For example the country
code for the UK is 0044. You can add multiple phone numbers to the list. Send the
text message when you are finished adding the phone numbers.
You can set up to five phone numbers which should receive a text message or should
be called during an alarm.
Remark: Only mobile numbers entered as alarm number can control the alarm system
by text message commands or by the APP!

6.2 Alarm notifications
The alarm system will check the programmed phone numbers one by one. Firstly
every number will get a text message. When this is fulfilled the alarm system will start
calling the programmed numbers. If one of the phone number has the voicemail
enabled the system will continue to call the next phone number.
Between every text message and phone call there will be a time span of
approximately 15 seconds.
SMS 1 => SMS 2 => SMS 3 => SMS 4 => SMS 5
TEL 1 => TEL 2 => TEL 3 => TEL 4 => TEL 5
If the alarm system is switched off during the notification process the alarm system will
stop sending/calling the remaining phone numbers. For example: Phone number 2
receives a text message notification and switches off the alarm system via the APP
phone number 3 will not receive a text message.
6.3 Change Sensor (zone) name
Every sensor can get a specified name (zone). Every sensor is provided with a zone
number. You can change the sensor (zone) name to a preferred name. You can
change the name of the sensors 1 to 4. Every sensor name can be used up to 30
characters. The names of the sensors above 4 cannot be changed. The text message
to change the name of sensor zone name is 4.
Copy above text into a new text message, modify the text and send the text message
to the GSM-number of the alarm system:
