Add a tag to the tag reader:

promptly setting switch 1 (SW1) to ON. The status LED starts flashing and one
long signal is followed by two short signal sounds.

3. During this time, hold a tag in front of the tag reader. The status LED flashes
fast three times and two signals sound, indicating the successful integration
of a tag in the tag reader.
Please note:
•Only one signal indicates that this tag was already added.
•If you want to add several tags, hold them one after the other (at intervals
of 5 seconds) in front of the tag reader or restart the entire process.
•Exit the installation mode of the tag reader by setting SW1 back to OFF.
Range test:
To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.
1. Open the alarm panel menu “Sensors” “Range” and press “Start”.
2. Switch SW1 to “ON”.
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the
indicated number the better the reception (1 – 9).
4. Switch SW1 to “OFF”.
Please note:
If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or
frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we
recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.
How to use the tag reader:
After having completed the tag reader installation as described above, you can use
the tag reader as follows:
1. Arming/disarming:
Press the Arm or Disarm button once to activate the tag reader.
2. You have five seconds to hold a tag in front of the tag reader. If the tag is
recognized within this time, the alarm panel is armed or disarmed.
Caution:
If there are system errors in the alarm panel when the system is armed,
repeat the arming process w
ithin 10 seconds, since otherwise the
alarm panel remains disarmed! Alternatively, you can activate the
menu force “arming with failure” in the web interface of your alarm
panel.
