Thank you for purchasing a Guardline Driveway Alarm! This
driveway alarm has a quarter mile range and is great for multiple
applications, including: alerting you when visitors enter your
driveway, deterring trespassers and thieves from entering your
property or building, alerting you to wildlife on your land, for use in
drive-through’s to signal that a customer pulled in, and more!
If you have questions about your Guardline, our Seattle-based
customer service is available Mon-Fri, from 7am to 3pm Pacific
Time at [phone] or online at www.GuardlineSecurity.com
Sincerely,

A. An Overview of your Guardline Driveway Alarm
1. Remove the screws from the four
corners of the sensor to access the battery
compartment. BE CAREFUL! The
screws are very small, don’t lose them.
Install four (4) AA batteries as indicated.
The sensor runs on four (4) AA batteries (not included) and operates wirelessly
at a maximum distance of a quarter mile (1,300 feet) from the receiver.

D. Installing your Sensor
It is recommended that the motion sensor be mounted at least 3 feet from
the ground on a sturdy, non-metal surface (i.e. a wall or stiff post) with
the “eye” pointed toward and slightly down at the target sensing area.
Your sensor(s) need to be paired with a receiver before your system will
function. Have your sensor and receiver nearby and ensure the sensor is
TURNED AWAY FROM YOU until step 4. Activating your sensor before
step 4 can result in your sensor being paired with the incorrect settings.
Follow the steps below to pair your sensor(s) and receiver.

drill bit
25mm
hole
1. Mark the mounting surface with a
pencil using the four mounting holes
on the sensor mount as a guide.
2. Recommended: Use an electric drill
with a 7mm drill bit to create 25mm
screws. This will help prevent stripping
of the screws.
To install your sensor(s), follow the instructions below. Tools you will
need for installation:
- a pencil
- a Phillips screwdriver
- electric drill & 7mm electric drill bit (recommended)

Changing your Chime
If you wish to change the melody of a sensor that is already paired, refer to and
repeat steps 1-4 in section C, Pairing your sensors with a Receiver.
If you completely relocate your sensors (for example, if you were to move to a new
home and reinstall your alarm system in a different arrangement, or have incorrectly
paired your sensor(s) and receiver), follow these steps to clear sensors from a
zone so you can then re-pair the sensors in a new arrangement.
If clearing Zone 1, skip this step. If resetting a zone other than Zone 1,
press “Next” to select which zone you wish to reset.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to reset additional zones, or hold the “Learn” button for 3
seconds to exit Learn mode.
Remove one (1) battery from the sensor, then PRESS and
HOLD the test button. While holding the test button,
re-insert the battery. Continue holding the test button
until the sensor LED flashes five times. When the LED
flashes five times, a new signal code has been generated.
NOTE: The recoded sensor(s) will NEED TO BE RE-PAIRED with a
receiver. See Section D for instructions.

NOTE: Your unit has been set by the manufacturer to the most com
monly used settings. It is strongly suggested that the system be used
first under its factory settings before adjusting the dip switches. If you
are connecting an external device to the receiver, consult with the ex
ternal device’s user manual for installation details and parameters.
The receiver battery cover must be removed in order to access the dip
switches and output terminals.

Why Change Settings?
Though your Guardline Driveway Alarm System is factory set to suit the most com-
mon user, sometimes your needs may require more complicated settings. For in-
stance, you may need to turn On the night mode to enable motion detection
if your sensing area is dark or dimly lit, or if your sensing area is only a sidewalk-width
away and not across the road, you may want to change Distance Sensitivity to just 13
feet (4m).

A. Pause Time Setting:
B. Pause Mode: In EU Mode, the receiver will automatically turn on after the
pause has timed out. In US Mode, the receiver will BEEP when the pause time is
over, but will NOT automatically turn on.
Halts receiver operation for an extended time of either
30 or 60 minutes. Press and hold the “Pause/Reset” button on the side of the
receiver for 3 seconds to enter Pause mode.
E. 12V Output Control: Assigns a zone to the 12V Output terminal (“D”) for ex -
ternally wired devices.
F. NO/NC Control: Selects which zone will connect with the NO/NC terminals.
D. Output Terminal:
External devices, such as gate openers, door releases, or external speakers, can be
wired to the receiver using the 12V out relay.
• 12V Out: This terminal outputs 12V/300mA when the selected zone has been
triggered in cooperation with “E” (12V Output Control). This function is dis
abled when running on batteries. Select which zone relays to this output by
sliding ONE of the dip switches for zones 1, 2, 3, or 4 to the “On” position.
• NO (Normal Open): Outputs to a closed circuit when the selected zone has
been triggered.
• COM: Neutral/Grounding terminal.
• NC (Normal Closed): Outputs to an open circuit when the selected zone has
been triggered.
• The NO and NC outputs cooperate with “F” (NO/NC Control). You can select
which zone relays to these outputs by sliding ONE of the dip switches 1, 2, 3,
or 4 to the “On” position.
C. Delay Time Setting: This is primarily used in setups with multiple sensors per
zone. This setting adjusts how many seconds must pass before the receiver is able
to chime again. Ex. If you have multiple sensors installed along your driveway,
you may want to change this setting to 60 seconds so you are only notified once
when the first sensor goes off and not by any subsequent alerts for up to 60
seconds.
