Introduction
Security and surveillance technology
for museums, exhibitions, private collections and luxury goods trade
Thank you for choosing the H uman Detector Flex alarm system.
A powerful, compact and quick-to-install security and surveillance system, it supports you in protecting your exhibits
and valuables. Whether paintings, sculptures or automobiles, the H uman Detector Flex system features a wide
range of applications.
Sensors and alarm modules are available for almost every task. These are extremely small and can be operated with
inexpensive lithium batteries, which last for up to 10 years.
(HDF - H uman Detector Flex )
HDF-3D PROTECT The HDF-3D PROTECT module detects the slightest vibrations (structure-
borne sound) and movements. This provides for the effective protection of
showcases, pedestals, technical exhibits and vehicles.
HDF-TOUCH Approaching and touching objects can be easily detected with the HDF-
TOUCH module. The system is ideal for securing metallic objects, but can
also be used for other purposes.
HDF-HANG HDF-HANG secures pictures and hanging objects on gallery rails.
HDF-OPTICAL Pictures, paintings and other hanging objects can be secured sustainably,
simply and contact-free with HDF-OPTICAL .
HDF-EXTERN External sensors with an alarm output (NO or NC) can be connected directly
to the HDF-EXTERN module. This allows the H uman Detector Flex System
to be extended as required.
HDF-WIRE Securing with tear-off wires is in many cases the cheapest and quickest way to
secure "small items" against theft. The HDF-WIRE module supports up to two
signalling circuits.
HDF-DOOR HDF-DOOR secures doors, flaps and inspection hatches.
HDF-SHOCK The HDF-SHOCK module detects heavy blows, position changes and
vibrations.
HDF-REMOTE The HDF-REMOTE panic button allows for alarm messages to be easily and
invisibly sent by supervisors.
All alarm modules, with the exception of the HDF-REMOTE panic button, can additionally be operated with an
external power supply unit. The connection to the alarm centres (HDF-BUZZER and HDF-SPEECH ) and the HDF-
AMD alarm management system is wireless via radio. The communication that takes place in the 868 MHz range
uses a special modulation method that easily penetrates solid walls and large buildings. The ranges achieved here
are often several times greater than those that can be achieved with conventional systems.

Instruction Manual
Security made easy - Human Detector Flex 4 / 13
The HDF-BUZZER and HDF-SPEECH alarm centres
Two systems with different extension levels are available with the HDF-BUZZER and HDF-SPEECH alarm centres.
The basic system HDF-BUZZER enables the output of a loud alarm via a built-in piezo siren (buzzer). In addition,
three potential-free relay outputs are available. These can be individually controlled by the alarm modules. Alarm
messages are acknowledged and the system is armed and disarmed via an external input using a key switch.
The HDF-SPEECH alarm centre also has a voice output. Voice and sound messages are stored as .mps3 files and
used as alarm messages.
The HDF-AMD unit (AMD = A larm M anagement D evice) enables targeted forwarding of alarm messages to digital
terminal devices (e.g. Android tablets and smartphones) and to external services. A precise distinction is made here
as to who is responsible for which alarm. Likewise, the HDF-AMD in combination with the HDF-ANTIJAM monitors
the radio network for interfering signals. The HDF-AMD is an open system. Future projects - such as the
transmission of measurement data (temperature, humidity, etc.), but also the connection to video control centres -
can be implemented.

HDF-REMOTE
Use and Operation Principle
The H uman Detector Flex HDF-REMOTE hand-held transmitter can be used as a panic, alarm or hand-held
transmitter. It integrates into the alarm network like a regular H uman Detector Flex alarm module. However, it has a
reduced range of about 200 m in open space. This can be compensated for during operation by placing radio control
centres with connected HDF-EXTERN alarm modules.
The small hand-held transmitter can be discreetly carried in a pocket or on a lanyard. The battery life is almost
infinite, since energy is only required for transmission. The HDF-REMOTE hand-held transmitter provides the room
supervisor with additional security and helps to defuse situations that otherwise cannot be solved or can only be
solved with increased effort.
The HDF-REMOTE hand-held transmitter can be integrated into the safety network in an intelligent way by creating
complex alarm structures in MULTI and PROFI mode. A call for help from an exhibition room can, for example, be
specifically forwarded to the neighbouring rooms and to the supervisor in the exit area.
The HDF-REMOTE hand-held transmitter supports museum staff in performing the following tasks:
· Call for help in case of distraction attempts by visitors
· Calling support staff when the section needs to be vacated
· Triggering an alarm according to personal decision of the security staff (misconduct of
visitors)
· Panic alarm in case of attack or threat
· ... and much more

System Login
The H uman Detector Flex security system has three operating modes with different levels of performance.
Switching between the operating modes is possible at any time. All components are upward compatible. This means
you can switch to a higher operating mode at any time and use the previously purchased units without restriction. You
also have the option of downsizing larger security installations or converting them into multiple, stand-alone
installations. The H uman Detector Flex Technology offers maximum return on your investment.
Registration of hand-held HDF-REMOTE transmitters in EASY-Mode
EASY mode is the most simple operating mode. Due to its performance, it meets the demands of a wide range of
users. Up to 30 alarm sensors incl. hand-held transmitters can be connected in EASY-Mode to an HDF-BUZZER or
HDF-SPEECH alarm centre. However, it is also possible to connect one alarm sensor with several alarm centres.
This is useful in applications where an alarm is to be output at several locations.
Pairing is done by pressing the pairing and alarm button on the hand-held HDF-REMOTE transmitter. When this
button is pressed, the system operating data and identifiers are automatically shared. No additional configuration is
required.
(+) Advantages EASY-Mode:
· Pairing in seconds at the touch of a button
· Fast training for inexperienced users
(-) Disadvantages EASY-Mode:
· Limited to 30 alarm sensors incl. hand-held transmitters max. per alarm centre
· Deletion only in complete blocks (no individual deletion)
·All paired sensors offer the same alarm behaviour at the respective alarm centre. This may vary at
the individual alarm centres.
· Project documentation must be created manually by the user
To log in in EASY-Mode , proceed as follows:
· Open the housing of the HDF-BUZZER or HDF-SPEECH alarm centre by unscrewing the 4 screws
on the back.
· Switch on the alarm centre. How?
·Press the pairing button on the alarm centre once. The RX LED next to the pairing button
flashes once to indicate pairing readiness.

Instruction Manual
Security made easy - Human Detector Flex 9 / 13
·Press the alarm button on the hand-held transmitter once. Successful pairing is indicated by a
double flash of the red RX LED next to the pairing button.
· Press the alarm button repeatedly. Each time it is pressed again, an alarm is triggered.
You can now register more hand-held transmitters by repeating the process. Close the housing of the alarm
centre after completion of the work.
Important note:
The alarm centre has a maximum of 30 memory locations for identifiers of alarm modules and hand-held
transmitters. If all memory locations are already occupied by older installations, you should first reset the alarm
centre to its original state. All 30 occupied memory locations are then deleted. Individual memory locations
cannot be deleted. All alarm sensors and hand-held transmitters must be re-registered after a reset to the original
state.
This procedure deletes all previous sensor registrations.
The HDF-REMOTE emergency transmitter does not transmit any vital signs (heartbeats). Monitoring the function
and availability of the hand-held transmitter is not possible via heartbeat monitoring.
To reset the alarm centre to its original state, proceed as follows:
· Open the housing of the HDF-BUZZER or HDF-SPEECH alarm centre by unscrewing the 4 screws
on the back.
· Switch on the alarm centre.
·Press the pairing button for at least 10 seconds. The RX LED next to the pairing button
illuminates continuously during the delete process. The RX LED flashes three times when the delete
process is finished. You can now stop pressing the pairing button. All connections to the previously
paired sensors are now deleted. The alarm centre is reset to its original state.
Note:
Please do not forget to provide documentation of the work you carried out. This is necessary in order to completely
understand the functionality of the security system.

Instruction Manual
Security made easy - Human Detector Flex 10 / 13
Registration of hand-held transmitters in MULTI- and PROFI-Mode
Registration in MULTI- or PROFI-Mode is only possible with the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software, which is available
free of charge. The operating modes provide for maximum flexibility and performance. Up to 200 alarm sensors and
hand-held transmitters can be connected to one alarm centre, for example.
The entire security network is designed on the PC with the HDF-CONFIGURATOR Windows software. Once the
design is complete, the module identifiers are transmitted to the software. The control files for the alarm centres
(HDF-BUZZER
and HDF-SPEECH ) and the HDF-AMD alarm management unit are generated from this. These are
then transferred to the units ( HDF-BUZZER, HDF-SPEECH and HDF-AMD ) via USB interface or WLAN.
(+) Advantages MULTI- or PROFI-Mode:
· Support of up to 200 alarm sensors and hand-held transmitters per alarm centre
· Easy configuration with the HDF-CONFIGURATOR Windows software
· Variable setting of alarm behaviour and networking
· Automatic generation of complete project documentation
· Forwarding of alarm messages to portable digital terminals of supervising staff
(-) Disadvantages MULTI- or PROFI-Mode:
· Familiarisation with HDF-CONFIGURATOR software required
· More complex installation of the HDF-AMD alarm management system
The exact procedure for registering sensors in MULTI- and PROFI-Mode is described in the chapter “ H uman
Detector Flex Software ”.

Maintenance and Care
The H uman Detector Flex HDF-REMOTE hand-held transmitters require no special maintenance and care.
However, as these are safety-relevant systems, regular checks are recommended. These can be carried out as part
of the regular inspection procedure of the security technology. It is recommended, however, to occasionally test the
function during normal operation. This is important because the HDF-REMOTE hand-held transmitter has a reduced
range in comparison with permanently installed alarm modules. These tests allow you to check the usability of the
hand-held transmitter in the relevant area.
A battery change is usually not necessary. Should a battery change become necessary, proceed as follows:
Changing the batteries of the alarm modules
·Open the battery compartment on the back of the hand-held transmitter by removing the two
securing screws.
· Remove the battery from the housing. Carefully prise it out of the holder by pressing on the edge of
the battery.
·Insert the new CR2032 battery into the holder. The positive pole should point upwards. Ensure that
the battery is properly inserted.
Note!
Only use branded batteries of the CR2032 type. Inexpensive batteries from unknown manufacturers
often have a significantly lower capacity and a higher self-discharge. Defective batteries can leak.
The batteries contain mercury and there is the risk of poisoning if touched.
·Close the hand-held transmitter housing by inserting and carefully tightening the two securing
screws.
· Document the battery change.
Cleaning the hand-held transmitter
Normally, it is not necessary to clean the housing. Should it become necessary, we recommend the use of a mild
glass cleaner.
Please proceed as follows:
·Take a sufficiently large piece of kitchen paper and spray the glass cleaner onto the paper once or
max. twice.
·Spread the cleaning liquid on the kitchen paper and carefully wipe the surface of the hand-held
transmitter with the paper.
· Then check the function of the hand-held transmitter by triggering a test alarm.
Note!
Do not use solvents to clean the hand-held transmitter housing. Do not spray the housing directly. Moisture must not
penetrate the housing. In case of moisture penetration dry the housing and check its correct function.
In case of dirt or moisture in the hand-held transmitter housing and its function is permanently
compromised, please contact our technical customer service immediately.

Help & Support
Despite its simple operation, many users find modern security technology quite complex and can grasp the concept
to some extend only. The diversity of museums and collections requires an expert and the task-related installation of
the H uman Detector Flex technology. The aim is to create a security system that is optimized to customer needs. If
you are in charge of the installation, we would like to make the following suggestions:
Suggestion Thoroughly read the operating instructions to understand the various functions and special
features of the individual components. Compare the delivered systems with the
documentation.
Suggestion It often is beneficial to try out an installation outside the exhibition first. Build small functional
units and put them into operation. Change the settings of the various components and
observe the outcome.
Suggestion Plan your security system in advance. Create a diagram of which sensors collaborate with
which alarm devices. Use your diagram as a guide during the installation. If you make
changes to your concept - which is very likely - enter them immediately in your diagram.
Remember, accurate project documentation is a prerequisite for all future work on
your security system.
