FOREWORD
All devices in this wirefree Alarm System are designed
and manufactured to provide a high standard of
security protection and long, reliable service.
The system is designed for ease of installation using
only conventional domestic tools. However, it is
essential that the installer reads and fully understands
the advice and procedures contained in this manual
and plans the system before proceeding with the
installation.
During installation, it is important that the procedures
described in this manual are followed in sequence.
This manual should be retained in a safe place for
future reference.
No radio operating licence is required for this
equipment.
IMPORTANT: All devices, with the exception of the
External Solar Siren are suitable for mounting in dry
interior locations only.
DECLARATION
Novar ED&S hereby declares that this wirefree alarm
system is in compliance with the essential requirements
and other relevant provisions of the Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE)
directive, 1999/5/EC.
Tools and Equipment Required:
No.0 Philips Screwdriver 3mm Drill Bit
No.1 Philips Screwdriver Drill
No.2 Philips Screwdriver Small Spirit Level
5 & 6mm Masonry Drill Bits Bradawl
DEVICE RANGE
The quoted range of the system devices (see
component specication on page 51) is measured
in ideal conditions. Any solid object (e.g. walls,
ceilings, reinforced PVC doors etc.) placed between
the transmitter and receiver device will reduce the
transmission range of the devices.
The amount by which the range will be reduced is
dependant upon the nature of the barrier. e.g.
Wall Type Range Reduction
Dry-lined partition wall: 10-30%
Single layer brick wall: 20-40%
Double layer brick wall: 30-70%
Metal panel/radiator: 90-100%
Note: The effect on the range of multiple walls is
cumulative. e.g. if there are two brick walls in the way,
the range will be reduced by up to 40% by each wall.
SYSTEM SECURITY
This system has been designed to both detect intruders
and act as a strong deterrent to would-be intruders
when installed correctly.
Please remember that given adequate knowledge
and time it is possible to overcome any alarm system
and we therefore recommend that your Alarm is used
in conjunction with good physical protection such as
security window and door locks.
All units in the system are encoded to operate together
using an 8 bit House Code which is congured by the
user/installer to provide the identication code for your
installation. The system House Code can be changed
at any time by the user.
The system is operated from one or more Remote
Control Units and/or the Control Panel. Care should be
taken to ensure that any of your Remote Control Units
are not lost or the User Access Codes for the Control
Panel or System House Code do not become known
to other people as this will compromise the security of
your system. In either event the system House Code
and/or User Access Code should be changed as soon
as possible.
IMPORTANT: All devices in your system must
be set to the same House Code which must be
changed from the factory supplied setting.
SAFETY
Always follow the manufacturers advice when using
power tools; steps, ladders etc. and wear suitable
protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when drilling
holes etc.
Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden
electricity cables and water pipes, the use of a cable/
pipe locater maybe advisable if in doubt.
When using ladders, you must follow the ladder
manufacturers safety instructions.
The use of ear defenders is advisable when working in
close proximity to the Siren due to the high sound level
produced by this device.

MULTIPLE USERS
The system allows for up to 6 Users and a Master
User to be congured. This allows the system Event
Log to maintain a record of which users have armed
and disarmed the system. Each user will have a
different User Access Code. In addition a 4 second
voice recorder facility enables the user’s name to be
recorded for use with the Latch Key facility.
Only the Master User has access to the programming
functions and is able to congure the system.
Note: Any Remote Control Units on the system will be
recorded as User 6.
SYSTEM ARMING
The system has a ‘Full Arm’ and 2 ‘Part-Arm’ modes.
ARM will ‘Arm’ all zones while the ‘Part-Arm’ modes will
only arm the zones that are enabled for the particular
Part-Arm mode.
For example:
The system could be congured so that during night
time, ‘Part-Arm 1’ would arm
only zones protecting the
lower oor and outbuildings
leaving the upper oor
free for movement without
triggering the alarm.
During the day while the property is occupied ‘Part-Arm
2’ could arm only the zones protecting the outbuildings.
However, when the property is left un-occupied, the
‘Full Arm’ mode will arm all zones to protect the entire
property, (i.e. upper and lower oors and outbuildings).
ENTRY/EXIT DELAY
When the system is armed with the Exit-Delay enabled,
no signal from any detector on an active zone will
be able to trigger an alarm until the Exit-Delay has
expired. This enables the system to be armed from
within the property and allows time for the user to
exit the property without triggering an alarm. If the
Exit-Delay is disabled then detectors on active zones
will immediately be able to trigger an alarm once the
system is armed.
The system Exit-Delay may be congured for between
10 to 250 seconds or disabled completely.
If a detector on a zone with its Entry-Delay enabled is
triggered, then an alarm will not sound until the Entry-
Delay period has expired. This allows time for the user
to re-enter the property and disarm the system before
an alarm occurs. Generally only the zones on the main
entry route to the property will be congured with an
Entry-Delay. The remaining zones would be congured
with their Entry-Delay disabled allowing them to
immediately initiate an alarm the instant a detector on
the zone is triggered.
The Entry-Delay for each zone may be congured for
between 10 to 250 seconds or disabled completely.
Note: To conserve power and maximise battery life
the PIR Detector will only detect movement if there
has been no movement detected within the previous
2 minutes. Consequently the PIR Detector will not
become active until the protected area has been free
from movement for more than 2 minutes.
ZONES
The system incorporates 6 wirefree alarm zones for
the connection of the system detectors that are used to
independently monitor different areas of the property.
In addition to standard intruder protection, each zone
may also be congured to operate in 1 of 4 other
modes:
- ‘PANIC/PA’ mode provides 24 hour monitoring of any
Personal Attack (PA) switches incorporated into the
system.
- ‘24-hour Intruder’ mode provides 24 hour intruder
protection for areas/zones where continuous monitoring
is required, (e.g. gun lockers).
- ‘Fire’ mode provides 24 hour monitoring of any Fire/
Smoke detectors incorporated into the system.
- ‘Test’ mode allows a zone to be monitored while
the system is armed. If a detector on a test zone is
triggered an entry will be recorded in the Event Log but
an alarm will not occur.
In addition there is the facility to connect 4 hard wired
zones to the Control Panel, each of which is fully
congurable with the same features as the wirefree
zones.
ZONE LOCKOUT
If a detector on an active zone is triggered while
the system is armed an alarm will sound. After the
programmed alarm duration has expired the alarm
will stop and the system will automatically reset.
Subsequent detectors triggered will again trigger an
alarm. If a single zone triggers an alarm more than

FINAL EXIT SET ZONE
Triggering a detector on a Final Exit zone (e.g. front
door) during the Exit-Delay, will cause the delay to
reset to 5 seconds with the system arming 5 seconds
later.
WALK THROUGH ZONE
This feature may be used to temporarily disable
detectors on zones covering the route between the
main entry door and the Control Panel.
If the system is armed and the property is entered via
the “Entry-Door” zone then the setup Entry-Delay will
operate as normal. However all “Entry-Route “ zones
will be disabled to allow free access to the Control
Panel to Disarm the system before the Entry-Delay on
the “Entry-Door” zone expires and an alarm occurs
If access is gained via any zone that is not congured
as the “Entry-Door” then all zones (including those
setup as the “Entry-Route” will operate as normal
according to their normal conguration.
Notes: The zone congured as the “Entry Door” must
be setup with an Entry-Delay time sufcient to reach
the Control Panel and Disarm the system.
Zones congured as the “Entry Route” should be setup
without an Entry-Delay.
OMIT ZONE
A zone may be temporarily omitted when the system
is armed using the Omit feature. When the system is
next disarmed any zones set to Omit will be cancelled.
EVENT LOG
The Control Panel incorporates a memory capable
of storing the last 50 system events. This enables
the user to see which user has Armed/Disarmed the
system and if and when any alarms occurred. The
time, date and details of the event type will be recorded
for each system event.
CHIME
Chime is a low security facility for use when the system
is Standby mode. If the Chime feature is ON, and a
detector on a zone that has its Chime function enabled
is triggered, the internal sounder will produce a low
volume warning tone. A typical use of the Chime
function would be to warn that a door or particular area
has been entered.
VOICE DIALLER
This system incorporates a telephone Voice Dialler that
is used to call for help and/or notify the user that the
system has been triggered and an alarm has occurred.
If the Voice Dialler is enabled and an alarm occurs
the system will call for help using your recorded
alarm message and up to 4 telephone numbers.
When the Voice Dialler is activated it will call the rst
enabled number in the dialling sequence and replay
the recorded alarm messages for the congured
‘PlayTime’. The recipient must acknowledge the
message by pressing the button on their
telephone keypad. If the call is unanswered or an
acknowledgment signal is not received then the next
active number in the dialling sequence will be called.
The dialler will continue calling each number in turn
until either all numbers in the sequence have been
dialled the set number of times or the dialling sequence
is cancelled by an acknowledged signal from the
recipient.
REMOTE MANAGER
The system is designed to interface with the MyGARD
Alarm Monitoring Service, which is a state of the art
Internet based service. It enables an alarm to generate
text/Email messages to up to 6 key holders and can
provide Group 4 Patrol & Response to your property.
Novar ED&S recommends monitoring as it increases
the level of contact with key holders and provides
a greater level of response. The Alarm Monitoring
Service is a chargeable independent service provided
by MyGARD plc.
(See enclosed leaet for further details).
LATCH KEY
When the system is Disarmed the Latch Key facility,
if enabled, will call the rst Latch Key phone number
and replay the user message (recorded under user
setup) for the set ‘Play Time’. The recipient must
acknowledge the message by pressing the button on
their telephone keypad. If the call is unanswered or an
acknowledgment is not received then the second Latch
Key phone number will be called. The voice dialler
will continue calling each number in turn until each
number has been dialled the set number of times or the
3 times then that zone will be ‘Locked Out’ and any
further alarm signals from that zone will be ignored until
the system is disarmed.
Note: The ‘Zone Lockout’ feature can be disabled if
required.
QUICK SET
The system may be fully armed in 5 seconds using the
quick set facility, overriding the programmed exit-delay.
This is useful for setting the system at night when the
Exit-Delay warning beep will be silenced after just a
few seconds.

sequence is cancelled/acknowledged by the recipient.
For example, the Latch Key facility is useful to inform
parents that a child has returned from school and
Disarmed the system.
ANSWERPHONE
The Control Panel includes an answerphone facility.
The answerphone will record and store a maximum
of 6 messages with each message being limited to 30
seconds duration.
Messages may be retrieved either direct from the
Control Panel or by dialling into the system from a
phone.
VOICE MEMO
In addition it is also possible to record messages at
the Control Panel using the ‘Voice-Memo’ facility.
Each voice-memo message is limited to a maximum
duration of 30 seconds and counts as an answerphone
message.
REMOTE PHONE ACCESS AND CONTROL
It is possible to dial into the system via the connected
telephone line to interrogate the system status and
to have basic control over the system, (e.g. to Arm
and Disarm the system). You may also activate the
microphone on the Control Panel to Listen-In to what is
happening in the protected property.
Answerphone and Voice-Memo messages may also be
accessed remotely.
TAMPER PROTECTION
All system devices (except the Remote Control)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorised attempts to interfere with the
device.
Any attempt to remove the battery cover from any
device (except a Remote Control) or to remove the
Solar Siren or Control Panel from the wall will trigger
an alarm (unless the system is in Test or Programming
modes), even if the system is Disarmed.
JAMMING DETECTION
In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the radio
channel used by your alarm system, a special jamming
detection function is incorporated into the Control Panel
and Siren. If this feature is enabled, an alarm will be
triggered if the radio channel is jammed continuously
for more than 30 seconds or if the system is jammed
for more than 3 periods of 10 seconds in a 5 minute
period. (The Siren will emit a series of rapid beeps for
5 seconds as a pre-alarm warning 10 seconds before a
full alarm occurs).
The jamming detection circuit is designed to
permanently scan for jamming signals. However, it is
possible that it may detect other local radio interference
operating legally or illegally on the same frequency. If
it is planned to operate the jamming detection feature
we recommend that the system is monitored for false
jamming alarms for at least 2 weeks prior to leaving the
jamming detection function permanently enabled.
Note: The jamming detection features incorporated into
the Control Panel and Siren operate independently.
BATTERY MONITORING
All devices powered by non-rechargeable batteries
incorporate a battery level monitoring feature which will
warn of a low battery status.
In addition the Control Panel will also indicate a low
battery status within any Passive Infra-Red or Magnetic
Contact Detector on the system.
The batteries on any device indicating a low battery
status should be replaced immediately.
SYSTEM HOUSE CODE
In order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to
operate or disarm your system, you must congure
your system to accept radio signals only from your own
system devices. This is done by setting a series of 8
DIP switches in all devices (except the Control Panel)
to the same ON/OFF combination (the House Code)
selected by the user/installer. The Control Panel is
then programmed to operate only with devices set to
this House Code.
The House Code is set up by moving each of the 8 DIP
switches in each device to the same randomly selected
ON/OFF sequence. When setting the DIP switches,
ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ fully into position. Use
the tip of a ballpoint pen or a small screwdriver to move
each switch in turn.
IMPORTANT: It is important that the system House
Code is always changed to a code other than the
factory setting and that all devices are congured
with the same House Code in order for the system
to operate correctly.

Before attempting to install your Alarm System it is
important to study your security requirements and plan
your installation.
PIR Movement Detectors are used to protect the main
areas of the property, (e.g. lounge, study, hallway and
landing, etc). Magnetic Contact Detectors are used
to protect the main access points to the property, (e.g.
front door, back door, patio doors etc.). However, they
can also be used to protect other vulnerable doors/
windows or access doors to important rooms.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
The following example below shows typical property
incorporating the suggested positions for the Siren, PIR
and Magnetic Contact Detectors. Use this as a guide
for your installation in conjunction with the detailed
positioning requirements for each device provided in
the appropriate installation sections in this manual for
planning your intruder alarm system.

Typical Installation using only detectors
supplied:
1. Place the 1st Magnetic Contact Detector (congured
on zone 1) on the front door.
2. Place the 1st PIR Detector (also congured on zone
1) in the hall covering the Control Panel and routes
between downstairs rooms.
3. Place the 2nd Magnetic Contact Detector (congured
on zone 2) on the back door or patio doors.
4. Place the 2nd PIR Detector either
i) downstairs in the main living room containing
most valuables, (set on zone 3),
or
ii) upstairs on the landing covering the access
routes between bedrooms and the stairs,(set on
zone 5). This will be inactive if Part-Arm 1 is used.
The system may be expanded with additional
Detectors, Remote Controls and Keypads to provide
even greater protection. However the following rules
should be followed:
a. Any detectors covering the main door and the
route to the Control Panel should be set on zone 1
only.
b. Any detectors covering other areas of the ground
oor should be set on zones 2 to 4 only.
c. Any detectors placed upstairs (which are not
required when activating Part-Arm) should be set on
zones 5 or 6 only.
Note: All system devices must be congured with
the same House Code.
The systems factory settings are pre-congured to
provide a basic functional system to suit most typical
basic installations:
• Detectors on zone 1 will have a 30 second entry
delay period. Detectors on all other zones are
congured as INSTANT, (i.e. they have no entry delay).
• The system has a 3 minute alarm duration.
• The Zone Lockout feature is ON so that if any single
zone triggers an alarm more than 3 times they will be
ignored until the system is next disarmed, (this feature
helps protect against continuous false alarms).
• PART-ARM 1 is congured with a 30 second exit
delay and operates with detectors on zones 1 to 4 only.
• PART-ARM 2 is OFF.
• All other system features, (e.g. telephone dialler,
answerphone, Latch Key, Chime etc.) are OFF and not
programmed.
IMPORTANT: All system devices must be set to the
same House Code.
As soon as installation is complete
- The default Master User Access Code for the
Control Panel should be changed to your own code
that only you know.
- User Access Codes 1-6 for the Control Panel
should be changed to your own codes that only the
relevant system user knows.
- The system Time and Date must be congured.
Note: If you wish to change the system conguration
away from the above example and factory settings
and customise it to your own unique requirements or
activate any of the more advanced system features
then refer to the Programming section on page 24.
The Remote Control Unit also incorporates a Personal
Attack (PA) switch. Activating the PA switch on the
side of the Remote Control will immediately trigger an
Alarm (unless the Control Panel is in Test or Program
Modes) even if the system is disarmed. The alarm can
be cancelled by pressing the ‘DISARM’ button on the
Remote Control or at the Control Panel.

Any number of Remote Control Units can be used with
your system, providing they are all coded with the same
system House Code.
The Remote Control is powered by a CR2032 type
Lithium cell which under normal conditions will have an
expected life of approximately 1 year. Under normal
battery conditions the Transmit LED on the Remote
Control will only illuminate when a button is pressed.
However, under low-battery conditions this LED will
continue to ash after the button has been released.
When this occurs the battery should be replaced as
soon as possible.
CONFIGURING THE REMOTE CONTROL
1. Remove the rear cover by undoing the small screw
on the rear of the Remote Control and keeping it safe
for later .
2. Select and record (in the Alarm Record section of
this manual) a random combination of ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’
positions for the DIP switches. This will become
the system House Code that enables all devices to
communicate with the Control Panel.
IMPORTANT: The House Code for your system
must be changed from the factory setting.
3. Ensure that the jumper link located immediately
below the House Code DIP switches is tted in position
for use with this alarm system.
4. Insert the battery under the clip ensuring that the +
terminal faces upwards away from the circuit board.
5. Replace the rear cover and xing screw. Do not over
tighten the screw as this could damage the thread.
Testing the Remote Control:
6. Press the button. The Transmit LED should
illuminate while the button is pressed and extinguish
within 1 second of releasing the button
7. Press the and buttons in turn to ensure
that the Transmit LED illuminates as before.
CONTROL PANEL
Outside View of Control Panel
POSITIONING THE CONTROL PANEL
When choosing a suitable location for the Control
Panel, the following points should be considered.
1. The Control Panel should be located in a position out
of sight of potential intruders and in a safe location, but
easily accessible for system operation and leaving and
entering the house within the set time period.
2. The Control Panel should be mounted on a sound
at surface to ensure that the rear tamper switch on
the Control Panel is closed when the Panel is mounted.
The Control Panel should be mounted at a convenient
height of between 1.5 and 2 metres and in a position
where it can be seen by you each day.
Note: If small children are in the household, a further
consideration should be given to keeping the unit out of
their reach.
3. It is recommended that the Control Panel should be
positioned such that the Entry/Exit tone (emitted by the
Control Panel) can be heard from outside the property.
4. The Control Panel should be mounted within a
protected area so that any intruder cannot reach the
Control Panel without opening a protected door or
passing through an area protected by a PIR Movement
Detector when the system is armed.

5. The Control Panel must be located within reach
of a mains socket.
6. If any of the telephone based functions are to be
used then the Control Panel will need connecting to a
convenient telephone point.
Note: It is recommended that the telephone connection
lead is not extended beyond 10 metres before
connecting to a telephone master or secondary outlet.
7. Note: DO NOT x the Control Panel onto or very
close to metalwork (i.e. radiators, water pipes, etc) as
this could affect the radio range of the device.
INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL
1. Undo the 2 cover xing screws on top of the panel
and open the cover. The cover is hinged along the
bottom edge.
2. Unclip and remove the two back-up batteries on
either side of the panel.
3. Hold the Control Panel in position on the wall and
mark the positions of the four xing holes. Remove the
panel, drill four 5mm holes and t the 22mm wall plugs.
Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product are not
suitable for plasterboard walls. If mounting the Control
Panel onto plasterboard use appropriate wall plugs.
IMPORTANT: Do not drill the xing holes with the
Control Panel in position; as the resulting dust and
vibration may damage the Control Panel’s internal
components and invalidate the guarantee.
4. Fit two 18mm No.4 screws into the top holes until
3mm protrudes from the wall face and hang the Control
Panel over these screws using the two keyhole slots in
the top corners of the panel casing.
5. Route the cable from the Power Supply Unit up
behind and on the right hand side of the Control Panel
and connect the plug to the DC power socket in the
panel. Ensuring that the cable is not trapped between
the panel and the wall.
6. Fix the Panel to the wall using two 18mm No.4
screws in the lower xing holes in the panel and tighten
the upper xing screws until they just grip the casing.
Do not over tighten the xing screws as this could
damage or distort the casing.

PASSIVE INFRA RED (PIR)
MOVEMENT DETECTORS
PIR Detectors detect movement in a protected area by
detecting changes in infra-red radiation levels caused
for example when a person moves within or across the
PIRs detection pattern. If movement is detected an
alarm signal will be generated, (if the system is armed).
PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that
pets are not permitted access to areas tted with PIR
Movement Detectors when the system is armed.
The Detector incorporates an anti-tamper protection
feature to protect against attempts to interfere with the
device. If the battery cover is removed, an alarm will
immediately occur at any time, (unless the system is in
Program or Test Modes).
The Detector also incorporates a sensitivity adjustment
feature to compensate for situations where the detector
may be affected by environmental changes, (e.g.
insects, air temperature, etc.).
To conserve power and maximise battery life the PIR
Detector will only detect movement if there has been
no movement detected within the previous 2 minutes,
(this is known as the detectors “sleep period”).
The PIR Detector is powered by a PP3 Alkaline battery
which under normal conditions will have an expected
life of approximately 1 year. When the battery level
drops, with the PIR in normal operation mode and
the battery cover tted, the LED behind the detection
window will ash. When this occurs the battery should
be replaced as soon as possible. (Note: in normal
operation, the LED behind the lens will not ash on
detection of movement).
Any number of PIR Movement Detectors can be used
with your system, providing they are all coded with the
system House Code and are mounted within effective
radio range of the Control Panel.
POSITIONING THE PIR DETECTOR
The recommended position for a PIR Movement
Detector is in the corner of a room mounted at a height
between 2 and 2.5 metres. At this height, the detector
will have a maximum range of up to 12 metres with a
eld of view of 110°.
The Position of the Circuit Board inside the PIR can
be set to 5 different positions to adjust the range of
the detection pattern created by the PIR. Setting the
Circuit Board in position 3 will reduce the range to
approximately 9 metres, with position 1 providing a
range of approximately 6 metres. The recommended
position setting for the Circuit Board is in position 5.

Detection Zone Pattern for Circuit Board in Position 5

14
When deciding upon the mounting position for the
detector the following points should be considered to
ensure trouble free operation:
1. Do not position the detector facing a window or
where it is exposed to or facing direct sunlight. PIR
Detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories.
2. Do not position the detector where it is exposed to
draughts.
3. Do not position the detector directly above a heat
source, (e.g. re, radiator, boiler, etc.).
4. Where possible, mount the detector in the corner of
the room so that the logical path of an intruder would
cut across the fan detection pattern. PIR Detectors
respond more effectively to movement across the
device than to movement directly towards it.
5. Do not position the detector in a position where it is
subject to excessive vibration.
6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR
Detector is within effective range of the Control Panel.
7. Do not x the PIR Detector onto or very close to
metalwork (i.e. radiators, water pipes, etc.) as this
could affect the radio range of the device.
Note: When the system is Armed, pets should not be
allowed into an area protected by a PIR Detector as
their movement could be detected and trigger an alarm.
INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE
PIR DETECTOR
Ensure that the system is in Test Mode (see page 13).
1. Undo and remove the screw from the bottom edge
of the PIR Detector (keep the screw safe for later).
Carefully pull the bottom edge of the detector away
from the rear cover and slide down to release the top
clips.
2. Carefully drill out the required mounting holes in the
rear cover using a 3mm drill according to whether the
unit is being mounted in a corner or against a at wall.
3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the
positions of the xing holes on the wall.
4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm
No.4 screws and 22mm wall plugs, (a 5mm hole will
be required for the wall plugs). Do not over-tighten the
screws as this may distort or damage the cover.
Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product are not
suitable for plasterboard walls, if mounting the Detector
onto plasterboard use appropriate wall plugs.
5. Congure the House Code for the PIR Detector by
setting DIP switches 1-8 of SW2 to the same ON/OFF
combination as the House Code DIP switches in all
other system devices.
6. Congure the alarm zone which the detector will
operate on by setting DIP switches 1-3 of SW3 as
follows:
DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3
Zone 1 OFF OFF OFF
Zone 2 OFF OFF ON
Zone 3 OFF ON OFF
Zone 4 OFF ON ON
Zone 5 ON OFF OFF
Zone 6 ON OFF ON
e.g. To congure the detector to operate on zone 3 set
DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 of SW3 as follows:
7. DIP switch 4 of SW3 is used to congure the PIR
Detector for Walk Test mode, which overrides the 2
minute sleep period and allows the operation of the
detector to be checked during installation.
ON = Walk Test mode
OFF = Normal Operation
On initial installation the detector should be congured
into Walk-Test mode ready for testing (i.e. with DIP
switch 4 of SW3 ON).

8. To select the required sensitivity, set DIP switch 5 of
SW3 as follows:
ON = HIGH sensitivity
OFF = LOW sensitivity
Note: The recommended setting is HIGH. However,
in cases of extreme environmental problems or if
unexplained false alarms are experienced, it may be
necessary to set the sensitivity to LOW. Setting the
device to LOW sensitivity will require a greater amount
of movement in order to trigger the device.
9. Connect the PP3 Alkaline battery to the battery
clip. The LED behind the lens will rapidly ash for
approximately 2-3 minutes until the PIR has stabilised.
The LED will then stop ashing and turn OFF.
10. Check that the detector Circuit Board is located and
set in the correct position to give the detection zone
pattern required.
To adjust the PCB position simply slide it up or down
ensuring that the location legs are aligned with the
required position number marked on the board.
11. To ret the PIR detector to the rear cover, offer the
detector up to the rear cover and locate the clips in the
top edge into the rear cover. Push the lower edge of
the detector into place and ret the xing screw in the
bottom edge of the PIR to secure in position. Do not
over-tighten the xing screws as this may damage the
casing.
Testing the PIR Detector:
12. Ensure that the LED indicator has stopped ashing
rapidly.
13. Use the and buttons to scroll through
the menu until ‘WALK TEST’ is displayed and press
.
‘Walk Test Waiting…’ will be displayed.
14. Walk into and move slowly around the protected
area, each time the detector senses movement the
LED indicator behind the lens will ash.
In addition, the Control Panel will beep to indicate that
the alarm signal has been received and the identity
of the zone that the detector is congured for will be
displayed.
15. If necessary remove the detector from the wall and
adjust the mounting position of the circuit board within
the detector. Repeat step 14 until the detection range
is correct for your needs. (In most cases no adjustment
will be required).
16. Remove the back cover of the PIR detector. The
Control Panel should beep and display “Accessory
Tamper” to show that the detector’s tamper switch has
been activated.
17. Press to return to the top level menu of TEST
MODE.
18. Recongure the PIR Detector for Normal Operation
with DIP switch 4 of SW3 OFF and ret in position on
the wall.
IMPORTANT: In normal operation, the LED indicator
behind the detector lens will not ash on movement
detection, (unless the battery is low).
Note: When the detector is fully installed i.e. battery
cover tted and in operating mode; in order to conserve
power and maximise battery life the PIR Detector will
only detect movement if there has been no movement
detected within the previous 2 minutes.

MAGNETIC CONTACT
DETECTORS
The Magnetic Contact Set comprises 2 parts; Detector
and Magnet. They are designed to be tted to either
doors or windows with the Magnet mounted on the
opening part of the door/window and the Detector
mounted to the frame.
When the protected door or window is opened and the
Magnet is moved away from the Detector an alarm will
be triggered, (if the system is Armed).
The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to
connect an additional wired Magnetic Contact. This
must be of a normally closed contact type with the
contact being opened in order to generate an alarm
condition.
The Magnetic Contact Detector is powered by two
CR2032 type Lithium cells which under normal
conditions will have an expected of approximately 1
year. Under normal battery conditions the LED on
the Detector will not illuminate when the Detector is
triggered, (unless the detector is in test mode with the
battery cover removed). However, under low-battery
conditions this LED will be illuminated for approximately
1 second when the detector is triggered. When this
occurs the batteries should be replaced as soon as
possible.
Any number of Magnetic Contact Detectors can be
used with the system, providing they are all coded with
the same system House Code and are mounted within
effective radio range of the Control Panel.
POSITIONING THE MAGNETIC CONTACT
DETECTORS
The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for mounting
in dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors and windows are to be protected
by tting Magnetic Contact Detectors, (usually the
front and back doors as a minimum will have Magnetic
Contact Detectors tted). However additional detectors
may be tted where required to other more vulnerable
doors or windows, (e.g. garage, patio/conservatory
doors etc.).
Ensure that the position selected for the Magnetic
Contact Detector is within effective range of the Control
Panel.
Do not x the Detector onto or very close to metalwork
(i.e. radiators, water pipes, etc.) as this could affect the
radio range of the device.
On PVC Door/Window frames, it may be necessary to
space the Detector and Magnet away from the metal
surface using a plastic or wooden spacer to achieve
the necessary radio range.
INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE
MAGNETIC CONTACT DETECTORS
Ensure that the system is in Test mode (see page 18).
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it off.
(DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever it off).
2. The Detector and Magnet should be mounted
together along the opening edge of the Window/Door
opposite the hinges. Ensure that the parallel gap
between the Magnet and Detector is less than 10mm
and that the arrow on the magnet is aligned with the
mark on the detector.
The Detector should be mounted on the xed part of
the frame and the Magnet on the opening part.
The Detector and Magnet should be mounted using the
double sided adhesive pads or screws provided.
Note: If mounting the device using the adhesive pads
ensure that the mounting surfaces are clean and dry
before mounting.

3. If xing the detector with screws, rst remove the
battery holder by carefully tilting up the end and pulling
away from the printed circuit board (PCB).
The top of the Detector is secured by hanging the
keyhole slot over the head of the 10mm pan head
screw. The bottom of the Detector is secured using the
12mm counter-sunk head screw tted within the battery
compartment. Carefully drill out the centre of the xing
screw hole in the battery compartment using a 3mm
drill. Fit the Magnet using the two 15mm xing screws.
Do not over tighten the screws as this may distort or
damage the casing.
4. If an additional wired Magnetic Contact is required,
this should be wired to the terminal block provided in
the battery compartment. The wired contact should be
connected using a maximum length of 1.5 metres of
any of the following:
- 6 core alarm cable
- 2 core bell wire (6 x 0.2mm minimum)
- 2 core 24AWG wire
A cable entry cut-out is provided beside the terminal
block in the battery cover.
If an additional wired contact is connected to the
detector then jumper Link S2 on the Circuit board must
be removed.
IMPORTANT: If an additional wired contact is not
connected, then the Jumper Link S2 must be tted
for the Detector to operate correctly.
5. Congure the House Code for the Magnetic Contact
Detector by setting DIP switches 1-8 to the same ON/
OFF combination as the House Code DIP switches in
all other system devices.
6. Congure the alarm zone which the detector will
operate on with DIP switches 9-11 as follows:
DIP 9 DIP 10 DIP 11
Zone 1 OFF OFF OFF
Zone 2 OFF OFF ON
Zone 3 OFF ON OFF
Zone 4 OFF ON ON
Zone 5 ON OFF OFF
Zone 6 ON OFF ON
e.g. To congure the detector to operate on zone 2 set
DIP switches 9,10 and 11 as follows:
Note: DIP switch 12 is not used.
7. Slide the two batteries supplied into the battery
holder, ensuring that the + side is uppermost on each
battery as it is installed.
8. If necessary, ret the battery holder into the detector
ensuring that the spring clip connectors slide onto
either side of the circuit board.
9. Ret the battery cover.
Testing the Magnetic Contact Detector:
10. Use the and buttons to scroll through
the menu until ‘WALK TEST’ is displayed and press
. .
‘Walk Test Waiting…’ will be displayed.
11. Remove the battery cover to activate the tamper
switch.
As the button is released the LED indicator will
illuminate for approximately 1 second to show that the
tamper switch has been triggered and a signal is being
transmitted.
In addition, the Control Panel will beep to indicate that
an alarm signal has been received and ‘Accessory

Note: It does not matter if the LED indicator illuminates
as the Magnet is brought towards the Detector.
13. Ret the battery cover.
14. Press to return to the top level menu of
TEST MODE.
IMPORTANT: With the battery cover tted the LED
indicator will not ash when the door/window is
opened, (unless the battery is low).
EXTERNAL SOLAR SIREN
The Siren is encapsulated within a tough polycarbonate
housing that also provides full protection against
adverse weather conditions.
An LED indicator unit is built into the siren to act as
a visible deterrent and indication that the system is
active. The LEDs will slowly and alternately ash
whether the system is Armed or Disarmed. When the
alarm triggers the LEDs will ash rapidly together.
An integral tamper switch provides additional security
protection to the Siren and will immediately trigger an
alarm should any unauthorised attempt be made to
interfere with and remove the siren cover, (unless the
Siren is in Service Mode).
The Siren is powered by a rechargeable sealed lead
acid battery. A solar panel mounted on the top of the
housing charges the battery during daylight hours.
During darkness, only a small amount of energy is
required to operate the Siren unit. A 9V Alkaline PP3
battery is supplied to boost the initial power to the
unit when the system is rst activated until the solar
panel charges the main battery. (The PP3 battery is
only designed to last for a short period until the main
rechargeable battery has obtained sufcient charge).
The Siren unit incorporates the installation’s Jamming
Detection system which will (if activated) generate an
alarm if any attempt is made to continuously jam the
radio channel used for the system.
POSITIONING THE SOLAR SIREN
The Siren should be located as high as possible in a
prominent position on an external wall so that it can be
easily seen and heard. The Siren should be mounted
on a sound at surface so that the rear tamper switch is
not activated when mounted.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the tamper switch does
not fall into the recess between brick courses as
this could prevent the switch from closing and
give a permanent tamper signal.
In order to provide the maximum amount of daylight to
the solar panel, the Siren should ideally be mounted on
a south facing wall. However, an easterly or westerly
position will sufce.
Mounting the device on a north facing wall should be
avoided as this could mean that during the short dark
days of winter months the solar panel may not receive
sufcient daylight in order to maintain the battery
charge at acceptable levels.
Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof
overhangs should also be avoided. If the Siren is to
be mounted below the eaves, it should be positioned
a distance of at least twice the width of the eaves
overhang below the eaves. Remember that in winter
the sun is lower in the sky and you should avoid winter
shadows where possible.
The Siren contains a sophisticated radio receiver.
However, reception of radio signals can be affected by
the presence of metallic objects within the vicinity of
the Siren. It is therefore important to mount the Siren a
minimum distance of 1 metre away from any external or
internal metalwork, (i.e. drainpipes, gutters, radiators,
mirrors etc.). Be especially aware of radiators mounted
on the inside wall behind possible locations for the
Siren.
Ensure that the position selected for the Siren is within
effective range of the Control Panel.

INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE
SOLAR SIREN
Ensure that the system is in Test mode (see page 13).
1. Remove the xing screw from the bottom edge of
the Siren housing and carefully hinge off the front
cover. Hold the mounting plate in position and mark the
positions of the four mounting holes. A spirit level placed
on the casing will ensure a perfect level.
2. Drill four 6mm holes and t the wall plugs.
3. Fit the two 30mm xing screws in the top holes
leaving approximately 10mm of the screw protruding.
4. Fit the top keyhole slots of the mounting plate over the
screw heads. Remove the mounting plate and adjust the
screws until they form a neat t with the mounting plate
with minimal movement.
5. Secure the mounting plate in position using the two
25mm xing screws in the bottom xing holes.
6. Ensure that the Siren’s main conguration switch on
the LED indicator board is set to “SIREN” for use with
this alarm system.
7. Undo the three screws holding the DIP Switch Cover
in place and remove the cover.
8. Under the cover you will nd a series of 9 DIP
switches.
Note: When the Siren is viewed as shown above (Solar
panel at top) the DIP switches are ‘upside down’.
9. DIP switches 1-8 are used to set the House Code
for the Siren and must be set to the same ON/OFF
combination as all other system devices.
10. If required the maximum length of time that the
Siren will sound for when activated under an alarm
condition may be limited to 3 minutes using DIP switch
9 as follows:
ON as Control Panel setting
OFF limited to 3 minutes
11. The Siren will acknowledge Disarm signals from the
Remote Control and Service Mode signals by beeping.
It is possible to disable these acknowledgement beeps
if required by removing the jumper link P2 on the circuit
board.

12. If for any reason you need to disable the Siren,
remove jumper link P3 on the circuit board. This
will prevent the Siren from sounding during an
alarm condition. However, the Siren will still beep
to acknowledge signals from the Remote Control,
(provided the beep feature has not been disabled).
P3 tted Siren enabled
P3 removed Siren disabled
13. To enable the Jamming Detect feature in the Solar
Siren t the jumper link taped to the cover of the Siren
control unit across link pins P1 on the circuit board.
P1 tted Jamming Detection enabled
P1 removed Jamming Detection disabled
14. Ret the DIP switch cover and replace the 3 cover
xing screws. Do not over tighten the screw as this
could damage the thread.
POWERING UP THE SIREN
Connect the 9V PP3 power-up battery to the battery
clip.
1. Connect the rechargeable battery to the charging
leads. Connect the Red lead to the Red ( + ) terminal
and the Black lead the Black ( - ) terminals. Both
indicator LEDs will ash together in a single long ash
to indicate that the unit is operational.
2. Press the tamper switch, both indicator LEDs
will ash together several times. The LED’s will
then continue to ash alternately every 10 seconds
thereafter to indicate that the Siren is functioning.
3. Hinge the front cover locating tabs over the top
edge of the back plate and carefully push the base of
the siren cover into place. Secure the Siren cover in
place by retting the xing screw in the bottom edge of
the cover. Do not over tighten the screw as this could
damage the thread.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the rear tamper switch
is closed when you t the siren cover to the back-
plate (i.e. listen for the switch to click). If the
switch does not close it will prevent the Siren from
operating correctly. If necessary, remove the siren
cover again and adjust the screw on the back-plate
tamper plunger to ensure the switch closes when
the Siren is secured in position. If tted remove the
protective lm covering the Solar Panel.
Testing the Solar Siren:
4. Use the and buttons to scroll through
the menu until ‘ALARM TEST’ is displayed and press
. .
5. Scroll through the menu until ‘WIREFREE SIREN
TEST’ is displayed and press .
The solar siren should activate for a period of
approximately 5 seconds.
6. Press to return to the top level menu of
Test Mode.
IMPORTANT: The Siren must now be left in position
for at least 24 hours to fully charge the Main Battery
before testing or operating the alarm.
