To test in Working Mode, walk in front of the sensor, the LED should flash once when
movement is detected.
If the sensor is triggered twice in 3 minutes it will enter into power saving (sleep mode).
If no movement is detected within the next 3 minutes, the sensor will return to normal
working mode.
Remove the activation strip. Fit the retaining
screw supplied.
Self-testing will commence for 1 minute as
indicated by the LED flashing every 2 seconds.
To enter Test Mode press the test button at the
back of the PIR. The LEDs will then flash once
when movement is detected, for up to 3 minutes.

Tamper Switch: If the casing is opened
when in ‘working state’, the tamper

Avoid mounting the sensor in areas where draughts may be present or where the
temperature may fluctuate greatly, such as near to windows, air conditioning, heating,
refrigeration units, cooking appliances and direct sunlight.

2. MAGNETIC DOOR/
WINDOW SENSOR
Fit the sensor in a position that will cover your desired protection area:
Fix the bracket to the wall with the fixings kit supplied. For optimum
performance set the height of the bracket to 2 metres above ground
level.
Adjust angle of the PIR sensor to cover the required detection area.
To perform a walk test.
Press the test button
once and walk from let
to right in the room.
The LED indicator will
flash once when motion
is detected.

Status Indicator
Magnet
Transmitter
Suitable for fitting to doors,
windows and any object that
opens and closes.
The Window/door sensor transmits
a signal to the control panel/siren
when ‘contact’ is broken between
the transmitter and the magnet.
Transmits a low battery signal to
the ERA alarm control panel.
Where possible, mount the sensor in the corner of the room so that the logical path
of an intruder would cut across the fan detection pattern. A PIR responds more
effectively to movement across the device that to movement directly towards it.

Flashes once: Door/window opened,
transmitter sends the signal to the
control panel/ siren.
Flashes every 3 seconds: Low battery
indication (immediate battery change
recommended)
2.2. LED Indication PCB Layout
Carefully remove the activation strip
from the battery compartment.
Remove the backing paper from one side
of each self-adhesive double-sided strip.
Fix one strip to the back of the magnet
and one to the back of the transmitter.
Peel off the other side of each adhesive
strip. Mount the magnet on the door and
the transmitter on the door frame, with
less than a 1cm separation between the
two.
When opening the door a small red indicator
lights up briefly, this indicates that the
transmitter has sent a signal to the control
panel.

Note:
1. For Mute Arm & Mute Disarm operation; press the home button for 1-2 seconds, then press the
Arm or Disarm button for a further 1-2 seconds.
2. The Mute Arm/Disarm will only be performed once before returning to sound. So the Mute
Arm/Disarm process would have to be done each time it is required.

Install the Siren to the outside of the building in a position that is clearly visible and at a
height which is relatively inaccessible to an intruder.
The Siren is designed to work on any aspect wall, however for optimum performance try
to avoid installing on a north facing wall or to a wall with shadows cast by other buildings,
trees and roof overhangs.
For optimum radio signal reception mount the Solar Siren to Maximum distance of one
metre from any external or internal metalwork (drainpipes, gutters, radiators, etc).
