2. Geng Started
The basic steps for installing and seng up your Guardline
alarm are:
2.1 Powering your Receiver
2.2 Powering your Sensor
2.3 Pairing your Sensor and Receiver
2.4 Installing your Sensor
2.1 Powering your Receiver
The main power source for the receiver is the included
12v/500mA AC/DC power adapter. Simply plug the adapter
into a wall outlet, then into the side of your receiver, near
Zone 1.
We also recommend pung backup baeries into your
receiver, to ensure you maintain coverage in the event of
a power outage.
To insert baeries into
your receiver, push up
with your thumbs just
below the Guardline
scker on the back of
the receiver.
Install 4 (four) x AAA
baeries and replace
the cover unl it snaps
into place.
The power indicator will be blue
when the receiver is powered by
the 12v adapter and it will turn red
when it is running on baeries.
A ashing red indicator light means
your receiver baeries are low and
should be changed immediately.
1. Remove the screws from the four corners of the sensor
to access the baery compartment.
BE CAREFUL! The screws are very small, don’t lose them.
2. Install 4 (four) AA
baeries, replace the
cover and secure the
screws.
Watch the video:
www.guardlinesecurity.com/open-receiver
2.2 Powering your Sensor
The sensor runs on four (4) AA baeries (not included)
and operates wirelessly at a maximum distance from the
receiver of 500  (150 m) for the GL2000 model, or 1/4
mile (400 m) for the GL5000 model.
To insert baeries into the remote sensor:

2.3 Pairing Your Sensor and Receiver
Now that your sensor and receiver are powered, your
sensor needs to be paired with your receiver before your
system will funcon.
Have the sensor and receiver nearby and ensure the
sensor is turned away from you.
Learn mode has a me-out feature aer 30 seconds of
inacvity. If you didn’t hear a beep conrming that your
melody was paired, repeat the pairing process and make
sure that your selected zone is sll ashing when you
acvate the sensor.
Watch the video:
www.guardlinesecurity.com/quickstart
2.4 Installing your Sensor
We recommend mounng the moon sensor at least 3 to
4  (1 m) above the ground on a sturdy, non-metal surface
(i.e. a wall, wooden post or tree) with the sensor eye
pointed straight out over the area you wish to cover (such
as up your driveway looking towards your house). This will
decrease or eliminate false alarms from small animals,
give you a longer area to pick up movement, and avoid
unwanted alarms from nearby lawns/roads.
Always test that your sensor is working in your desired
locaon before installing it. Avoid placing your sensor
in a locaon where sunlight will shine directly into the
sensor eye. Direct sunlight may cause false alarms and/or
damage to the PIR sensor.

Tools you will need for installaon:
• Pencil
• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill with 3/32” and 9/32” drill bits
(recommended)
• Hammer (oponal)
1. Mark the mounng surface with a pencil using the four
mounng holes on the sensor mount as a guide.
2. If installing on a wooden surface, you only need to use
the included screws. Drill out your pilot holes using a 3/32”
drill bit to a depth of ¾”. This will help prevent stripping of
the screws and hold the sensor more securely.
3. If installing on any other surface, such as brick or
masonry, you will use the included screws and anchors.
Drill out your pilot holes using a 9/32” drill bit to a depth
of 1”. Gently tap the anchors into your pilot holes using
a hammer unl the anchors are ush with the mounng
surface.
4. Screw the sensor mount onto the post just unl ght.
Do not over-ghten.
5. Adjust the angle of your sensor so that it is looking at
your target area.
If your sensor swivel is too loose, you can adjust this
by ghtening the screw on the back of your sensor’s
mounng plate.
3. Adding Addional Units
3.1 Pairing Addional Sensors and Receivers
Your Guardline Driveway Alarm can support an unlimited
number of receivers and up to 4 sensors per zone, for a
total of 16 sensors per receiver. Each addional sensor can
be paired to any available zone with any of the 32 available
melodies. By pairing addional sensors to dierent
zones, you can build a comprehensive security network
that allows you to easily disnguish where your alerts are
coming from.
Addional receivers let you receive alerts in more
locaons, such as your garage or workshop or in dierent
rooms or dierent oors throughout your house.
To add an addional sensor or receiver to your exisng
Guardline Driveway Alarm setup, follow the steps in
secon 2.3

4. Advanced Sengs
Though your Guardline Driveway Alarm System is factory-set
to the most common uses, somemes your needs may require
a more customized setup.
For example, you may need to:
• Turn on the night mode if you only want to receiver alerts
when it is dark or dimly lit.
• If your sensing area is only a sidewalk-width away and not
across the road, you may want to change the Distance
Sensivity to just 13  (4 m).
4.1 Manufacturer Default Sengs
Our system has been pre-set to the most commonly used
sengs. It is recommended that users test the unit(s) under
the default sengs before adjusng.
NOTE
4.2 Sensor Adjustments
Several switches inside the sensor baery compartment
regulate various sensor funcons including Distance Sensivity,
Night Mode, Delay or Sleep Interval, and Speed Sensivity.
Follow this guide to adjust your unit to the desired seng(s):
1. Remove the sunshade and the four screws holding the
sensor cover in place.
2. Inside the sensor unit is a baery compartment and rows of
switches that control the sensor sengs.

14 15
D Night Mode
Turn this ON only if you want your sensor to work during low
light or dark sengs and not during the day. In the default
OFF posion, your sensor will work in both day and night
sengs.
• 24/7 operaon (sensor is always on) -
Switch is set to the le
• Night-only mode (sensor only works at night) -
Switch is set to the right
E Sleep Interval
Aer detecng moon, the sensor can ‘sleep’ for either 7 or
30 seconds, allowing an object to pass through the eld of
vision without seng the alarm o again.
• 7 second interval - Switch is set to the right
• 30 second interval - Switch is set to the le
4.3 Adjusng Sensor Field of View
From the factory, your sensor has a 9-degree eld of view.
You can increase each sensor’s eld of view to 12 degrees by
removing the sensor’s window cover:
3. Use the following guide to set the sensor according to
your preferences, using a pen or other hard, narrow object
to move the various switches.
A Test
Press the Test buon during setup to test that the sensor is
correctly paired with its receiver. The Test buon is also used
to recode the sensor in cases where more than one receiver
is being used (see Pairing the Sensors with the Receiver).
B Distance Sensivity
These switches control how far away your sensor will detect
objects passing in front of it. By default, both switches are
in the ‘down’ posion, allowing the maximum distance
sensivity of 39 feet. Use a shorter distance for shorter
driveways or to avoid picking up objects past your driveway.
To change the distance sensivity, nd your desired distance
below and change the switches accordingly:
• 40  - Switch 1 down, Switch 2 down
• 26  - Switch 1 down, Switch 2 up
• 23  - Switch 1 up, Switch 2 down
• 13  - Switch 1 up, Switch 2 up
If you are experiencing false alarms from cars or animals
in the distance, reducing the distance sensivity can help
reduce or eliminate those false alarms.
C Speed Sensivity
This determines the speed at which objects can be detected
by your sensor.
• Standard speed (2 mph or greater) -
both switches down
• Slow speed (less than 2 mph) -
both switches up
Unless you are using your sensor to be alerted to slow-
moving animal acvity, we strongly urge you to keep this
seng at the standard speed.

5. Addional Features
5.1 Pause Mode
Your Guardline receiver has the ability to temporarily pause
the funconing of your driveway alarm. This is especially
useful if you don’t want to disturb others as you leave your
house, or if you’ll be working near your sensor and don’t
want your driveway alarm to connually go o.
To put your receiver in pause mode:
5.2 Baery Check
When one or more of the sensor baeries are low, the low-
baery indicator LED will blink every 5 seconds.

interference with the sensors, if you have mulple receivers,
and/or if you have over 16 sensors with one or more using
the same signal code. You will need to manually change the
code in one or more of your sensor units.
To manually change the signal code:
1. Remove one (1) baery from the sensor.
2. Press and hold the Test buon.
3. While holding the test buon, re-insert the baery.
4. Connue holding the test buon unl the sensor LED
ashes ve mes. When the LED ashes ve mes, the
sensor has a new signal code to use with the receiver.
See Secon 2.3, “Pairing Your Sensor and Receiver” for
instrucons.
