Repeat steps 3-4 from this position.
When survey is complete, switch transmitter to
the off position to conserve battery power.
To connect out of range devices, you will need to
install a repeater to extend the range.
Dorgard Pro Place the Survey Dorgard Pro at the position
a Dorgard Pro is to be fitted. Hold it at the bottom of the
fire door.
Depress the plunger to get a radio reading. If the Dorgard
Pro is in range of the Survey Transmitter, the top LED of
the Dorgard Pro will show solid green for 4 seconds. If the
Survey Dorgard Pro is not in range, the top LED will show
red for 4 seconds.
Freedor Pro Place the Survey Freedor Pro at the position
a Freedor Pro is to be fitted. Fit to the correct side of the
door, using the adjustable bracket provided.
4. Repeater Location
To identify a suitable location for the new Repeater bring the
Survey Pro device closer to the Survey Transmitter until you are
again in range (confirmed by a green LED).

Dorgard Pro has 2 C cell batteries included and
connected. The battery compartment is accessed
by the screw on top of the unit.
Freedor Pro has a 9v battery pack included which
needs connecting at the installation point. Remove

Installation
Installation
Transmitter, Repeater and Timer
The Transmitter, Repeater and Timer are mains
powered using the 24v adapter. This can be
plugged into a socket using the plug top or wired
into a 1A fused spur using the kettle lead.
If powered direct, it requires any voltage between
8-30v AC or DC.
The transmitter monitors a normally closed
circuit and will release devices when the
circuit becomes open.
To connect, wire from the terminal block on the
transmitter to the corresponding contacts on
the fire alarm relay. It is possible to use just the
normally closed and common contacts if desired.
Refer to installation template.

Binding
!!
DorgardPro
!DorgardPro
!
2. When the bind is successful, the radio LED will go
solid green on both parent and child for 4 seconds.
The child will no longer be in bind mode but the parent
remains in bind mode for an hour or until the bind
button is pressed again.
3. Should a repeater be required, it needs to be bound
to the parent in the same way as a pro device. When
successfully bound, it will carry out a radio channel
scan to select the strongest available channel.
The power LED will flash amber during scanning.
The repeater is now in parent mode and pro devices
and further repeaters can be bound to it.
NOTE
If during installation and set up the system identifies different versions of software in the devices, it will
trigger an over the air update, indicated by the parent displaying an amber alert LED. If successful, the
LED will turn green, if unsuccessful, it will turn red. To retry, press the bind button twice, repeat process
until successful.
1. To start the bind process, press the blue bind button
on the base of the Transmitter/Repeater (parent). The
radio LED will flash green, indicating in bind mode.
The pro device you wish to connect now needs to be
put into bind mode. This can be done by pressing the
bind button.
Dorgard Pro The bind button can be accessed through
the front casing using a 3mm screwdriver. The radio
LED will flash green to indicate in bind mode.
Freedor Pro The bind button is located on on the PCB,
accessed by removing the cover.
Information is communicated from the transmitter
to the Pro devices via radio. All devices need to be
bound together as a system.
This can be thought of as a family tree. The
transmitter is a parent device sending information.
Pro devices are children receiving information.
A repeater is both a parent and a child as it both
receives and sends information.

Unbinding
3. When the unbind is successful the radio LED
will go solid amber on both parent and child for
4 seconds. The child will no longer be connected
but the parent remains in unbind mode for 1 hour
or until the bind button is pressed again.
2. The pro device you wish to disconnect
now needs to be put into unbind mode.
This can be done by pressing and holding
the bind button.
On a Dorgard Pro it is accessed through the
front casing using a 3mm screwdriver.
The radio LED will flash amber to indicate
in unbind mode.
On a Freedor Pro this can be found on the
PCB, accessed by removing the cover.

Installation
If it is necessary to bind a child device to a
different parent you will first need to unbind it.
1. To start the unbind process, press and hold
the blue bind button on the base of the parent
Transmitter/Repeater. The radio LED will flash
amber indicating in unbind mode.

Failing
to bind
Pro devices
State
The Pro devices will indicate failure to bind by
showing the radio LED and alert LED as red.
It will then take itself out of bind mode.
Fix
If problem persists it is likely the Pro device is out of range. We recommend you carry out a site
survey - see section 2.
It may be necessary to re-site the Transmitter or Repeater closer to the Pro device;
OR bind the Pro device to a different Repeater;
OR add another Repeater to your system to increase the coverage.
Check
1. Check that the Transmitter or Repeater to which
you want the Pro devices to bind is in bind mode.
The Transmitter or Repeater will be flashing its radio
LED green.
2. While the Transmitter or Repeater is in bind
mode, push the bind button on the Pro device.
The Pro device will flash its radio LED green and retry
binding to the Transmitter or Repeater.

Troubleshooting
Page 14

Repeater
State
The Repeater is still flashing its top radio LED
green 1 minute after the bind button on the base
of the Repeater has been pressed down.
Check
Check that the Transmitter or parent Repeater is in
bind mode, indicated by the radio LED flashing green.
Press the bind button on the Repeater. If the radio
LED stops flashing and turns solid green for 4
seconds, it has bound to the Transmitter or
parent Repeater.
Fix
If problem persists, it is likely the Repeater is out of
range. We recommend you carry out a site
survey - see section 2.
OR move the Repeater closer to the Transmitter or parent Repeater;
OR bind the Repeater to a different Repeater;
OR add another Repeater to your system to increase the coverage.

Troubleshooting
Page 15

Red radio LED
and red alert
on device
State
This is indicating that the device has lost
communication with its parent Transmitter/
Repeater. The device will be in a fail safe condition.
If the lost device is a Repeater, any connected
devices will also fail to safe.
Troubleshooting
Fix
The fault should be resolved at the primary device where the fault was detected. If no fault with the
parent and the fault is isolated to the device, it may be caused by loss of signal due to range.
Fix
Carry out a site survey to ensure sufficient range
where the device is located, it may be necessary to:
Re-site Transmitter or Repeater;
OR bind the device to different Repeater;
OR add another Repeater to the system to
increase range.
Check
Check the state of the parent Transmitter/Repeater of
the lost device for power and/or faults. If the system has
multiple Repeaters, it may be necessary to check all parents
to identify the primary source of the fault.

Factory reset
Dorgard Pro
!x3
Performing a factory reset is a way of returning the device
to its original system state by erasing all of the information
stored.
The reset restores the device to the original manufacturer
settings. Any connected devices will be unbound.
Troubleshooting
Dorgard Pro
Undo battery compartment and pull up to
disconnect power. Hold down the bind button
whilst reconnecting power until it beeps 3 times.
Freedor Pro
Remove the cover and disconnect the battery.
Hold down the bind button whilst reconnecting
the battery until it beeps 3 times.
Transmitter & Repeater
Disconnect the power and remove one of the
back-up batteries. Hold down the blue bind button
whilst reconnecting the power until it beeps 3
times. Replace the back-up battery.
