Filter Out Short Alarms
Adjust your unit to close the door after an alarm has been going off for a certain amount of time.
For example, schools often use the same sounder for fire alarms (which last for a long time) and lesson change
bells (which last only for a few seconds). This feature allows shorter alarm sounds to be ignored so that the door
remains open and only closes on the real fire alarm.

4. Press play on the sound file with the phone next to the unit

Door Close Time
Set the unit to close the door at a chosen time.
This is useful for hotels where doors need to be kept open during the day to allow easy access but
closed at night to reduce noise.
1. Remove the cover
2. Disconnect then reconnect the battery pack
3. Wait for the battery light to turn off
4. Press button, hold down for 3 seconds
5. The unit will beep once for every hour from the current time. If the time is 4pm and
you want the unit to close the door at 8pm, you need to let the unit beep 4 times
before pressing the button again
6. The unit will beep back the number of hours you have set to confirm
To change the time you have set, follow steps 1-6.
Notes: If you are applying the other features, set up Door Close Time last.
After the door is released, fully opening it will re-enable the weightless mode. If you want
the doors to close automatically, follow ‘Door Closer Mode’ steps.
