Introduction and Overview
System Arming
The system has an Instant-Arm and Delay-Arm mode. If the system is armed in Instant-Arm mode
then all detectors will immediately become fully armed. Any detector triggered while the system is
armed will immediately sound an alarm.
Entry / Exit Delay
If the system is armed in Delay-Arm mode this will activate the system with a 15 second entry/exit
delay period. This allows a 15 second period for the user to exit the property after setting the system
with the Remote Control. Any detector triggered while the system is armed will cause an alarm
condition after the 15 second entry/exit delay has expired. This allows time for the system to be
Disarmed before an alarm sounds when re-entering the property.
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.
Alarm Lockout
If a detector is triggered while the system is armed, the alarm will sound. After the set alarm duration
has ended, the alarm will stop and the system will automatically reset. Subsequent detectors
triggered will again sound the alarm. If the alarm is triggered more than 3 times then it will become
‘Locked Out’ and any further alarm signals will be ignored until the system is re-armed.
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
Siren from the wall will trigger an alarm (unless the system is in Service Mode), 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 in the 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

5
is monitored for false jamming alarms for at least 2 weeks prior to leaving the jamming detection
function permanently enabled.
Battery Monitoring
All devices powered by non-rechargeable batteries incorporate a battery level monitoring feature
which will warn of a low battery status. 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 configure
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 to the same ON/OFF combination (the House Code) selected
by the user/installer.
ON ECE
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
e.g.
Switch
= set to ON
position
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.
All devices must be configured with the same House Code in order for the system to operate
correctly.
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 configured 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. The alarm system may be extended at any time to provide even greater
protection by fitting additional devices to meet your personal security needs.

7
Remote Control Unit
The Remote Control Unit is used to Arm and Disarm the system.
The Remote will activate the Instant-Arm, Delay-
Arm or Disarm functions.
The Remote Control also incorporates a Personal
Attack Switch (PAS). Activating the PAS will
immediately initiate a Full Alarm condition whether
the system is Armed or Disarmed, (unless the
system is in Service, Test or Program mode).
Any number of Remote Controls 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 battery which under normal conditions
will have a typical life in excess of 1 year. Under normal battery conditions the LED on the Remote
Control will only illuminate when a button is pressed. However, under low battery conditions the LED
will flash every time the button is pressed. When this occurs the battery should be replaced as soon
as possible.
Setting the Remote Control
1. Remove the front cover by undoing the small screw on the rear of the Remote Control.
2. Located above the battery is a row of 8 DIP switches.
Select and record a random combination of ‘ON’ and
‘OFF’ positions for the DIP switches. This will be the
system House Code and must be set to the same ON/
OFF combination as the House Code DIP switches in
all other System Devices.
Important: The House Code for your system should
be changed from the factory default setting.
3. To utilise the panic facility on the Remote Control,
remove the Jumper Link. If ‘panic’ is not required
leave the Jumper Link in place.
4. Remove the battery from its packaging and insert it under the clip ensuring that the +v terminal
faces upwards away from the PCB.
5. Replace the front cover and fixing screw.
Testing the Remote Control
1. Press the button. The Transmit LED should illuminate while the button is pressed and
extinguish within 1 second of releasing the button.
2. Press the and buttons in turn to ensure that the Transmit LED illuminates as before.

Passive Infrared (PIR) Movement Detectors
PIR Detectors are designed to 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 devices field of
vision. If movement is detected an alarm signal will be triggered, (if the system is armed).
Note: PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that pets are not in areas fitted with PIR
Detectors when the system is armed.
Any number of PIR Detectors can be used with your system providing they are all coded with the
system house code, and are mounted within effective radio range.
The PIR Detector is powered by a 9V PP3 alkaline battery. Under normal operating conditions this
will provide an expected life of up to 1 year. When the battery level becomes low the PIR Detector
will flash a red LED behind the lens. When this occurs the battery should be replaced as soon as
possible.
Positioning the PIR Detector
The recommended position for a PIR Detector is in the corner of a room mounted at a height of
between 2 and 2.5m. At this height, the PIR Detector will have a maximum range of up to 12m with
a field of view of 110°.

The position of the PCB inside the PIR can be set to 5 different positions to adjust the range of
the PIR Detector. Setting the PCB in position 3 will reduce the range to 9m approximately, with
position 1 providing a range of 6m approximately. The recommended position setting for the PCB
is in position 5.

When deciding upon the mounting position for the PIR Detector the following points should be
considered to ensure trouble free operation:
1. Do not position the PIR Detector facing a window or where it is exposed to or facing direct
sunlight. PIR Detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories or for external use.
2. Do not position the PIR Detector where it is exposed to draughts.
3. Do not position the PIR Detector directly above a heat source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).
4. Where possible, mount the PIR 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 locate the PIR 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 System.
Note: When the system is armed, pets should not be allowed into an area protected by a PIR
Detector as their movement will trigger the PIR and generate an alarm.
Note: DO NOT fix the PIR Detector to metalwork or locate the unit within 1m of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the radio range of the device.
Installing and Configuring the PIR Movement Detector
Ensure that the system is in Service Mode
1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the bottom edge of the PIR Detector. Carefully pull the
bottom edge of the PIR Detector away from the rear cover and then slide down to release the top
clips.

2. Carefully drill the required mounting holes in the rear cover using a 3mm drill relevant to whether
the PIR Detector is being mounted in a corner or against a flat wall.
3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the positions of the fixing holes on the wall.
4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm No.4 screws and 25mm wall plugs, (a 5mm
hole will be required for the wall plugs). Do not over-tighten the fixing screws as this may
distort or damage the cover.

10
Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product are not suitable for plasterboard walls, if
mounting the PIR Detector onto plasterboard use appropriate wall plugs.
5. Configure the PIR Detector as described in ‘Setting the PIR Detectors’. Remember that on initial
installation the device needs to be tested and should therefore be set in Walk Test Mode.
6. Check that the PIR Detector PCB 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.
7. To refit the PIR Detector to the rear cover, offer it up to the rear cover and locate the clips in the
top edge into the rear cover. Push the lower edge of the PIR Detector into place and refit the fixing
screw in the bottom edge to secure in position. Do not over-tighten the fixing screw as this may
damage the casing.
Setting the PIR Detector
Located on the PCB of the PIR Detector are two blocks of
DIP switches (SW2 and SW3).
When setting Dip Switches to the House Code, hold the PIR
Detector ‘upside down’ as shown in the diagram below:
1. DIP switches SW2 (numbered 1-8) are used to set the
House Code for the PIR Detector and must be set to the
same ON/OFF combination as the House Code DIP
switches in all other system devices.
Setting for a Siren only Alarm System
For this alarm system the DIP switches 1- 3 of SW3
must be set as follows:
DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3
ON ON OFF
2. DIP 4 of SW3 is used to configure the PIR Detector for walk test mode, which allows the operation
of the Detector to be checked during installation without triggering a Full Alarm.

Note: On initial installation the PIR Detector should be set to Walk-Test mode ready for testing.
3. The PIR Detector incorporates a sensitivity feature designed to compensate for situations where
the Detector may be affected by environmental changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc). This
feature is called “Detection Sensitivity” and may be set to Standard or High Sensitivity.
Note: The higher the sensitivity the less movement will be necessary before the PIR Detector
will trigger the alarm.
The recommended setting is Standard Sensitivity. If set to High Sensitivity, in some cases,
extreme environmental problems could cause unexplained false alarms. If this is experienced it
may be necessary to reset the PIR Detector to Standard Sensitivity.
Set the required detection sensitivity using DIP 5 of SW3 as follows:
OFF Standard Sensitivity
ON High Sensitivity
4. Connect the PP3 alkaline battery to the battery clip.
Note: When the 9V alkaline battery is connected, the LED behind the lens will flash for 2-3
minutes until the PIR has warmed-up and stabilized. The LED will then stop flashing and turn
OFF.
Testing The PIR Detector
Before testing the PIR Detector ensure that the system is in Service Mode.
With the PIR Detector set in Walk Test mode (Switch 4) and mounted in position on the wall, allow
2-3 minutes for the PIR Detector to stabilize before commencing the Walk Test.
1. Walk into and move slowly around the protected area, each time the PIR Detector senses your
movement the LED behind the Lens will flash.
If necessary re-adjust the detection pattern by changing the mounting position of the PCB within
the PIR housing.
2. Reconfigure the PIR Detector for normal operation mode by setting DIP4 of SW3 to OFF and refit
in position.
Note: In normal operation, the LED behind the PIR Detector lens will not flash on movement
detection, (unless the battery is low).
Note: When the PIR Detector is fully installed, i.e. battery cover is refitted; the unit will not detect
movement for approximately 45 seconds after each activation. (This feature is designed to
conserve battery power and maximize the battery life).

12
Magnetic Contact Detectors
The Magnetic contact comprises two parts; a Detector and a Magnet. They are designed to be fitted
to doors or windows with the Magnet mounted on the opening part and the Detector mounted on the
fixed frame. Opening the protected door/window will remove the magnetic field, trigger the Detector
and generate an alarm condition, (if the system is armed).
The Detector is powered by two CR2032 type Lithium cells which under normal conditions will
have an expected life of up to 1 year. Under normal battery conditions the LED on the Detector will
not illuminate when the Detector is triggered, (unless in test mode). However, under low-battery
conditions this LED will be illuminated for approx. 1 second when the detector is triggered. When this
occurs the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to connect an additional wired Magnetic Contact. This
additional contact must be of a normally closed contact type with the contacts being opened in order
to generate an alarm condition.
Positioning the Magnetic Contact Detector
The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors/windows are to be protected by Magnetic Contact Detectors, (as a minimum
usually the front and back doors will have Magnetic Contact Detectors fitted). Additional detectors
may also be added where required to other 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
Siren.
Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal frame, or mounting within 1 metre of metalwork
(i.e. radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the radio range of the device. If required, it may be
necessary to space the Magnet and Detector away from the metal surface using a plastic or wooden
spacer to achieve the necessary radio range.
Installing and Configuring the Magnetic Contact Detector
Ensure that the system is in Service Mode
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it off. (DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever the cover
off).
2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up the end and pulling the connector off the printed
circuit board.

13
3. Mount the Detector to the fixed part of the frame along the opening edge using either the double
sided adhesive tape or screws provided.
If fixing the Detector with screws; fit the Keyhole slot in the top of the Detector over the head of
the smaller pan head screw. Secure the bottom of the Detector using the 12mm countersunk
head screw fitted within the battery compartment. You will need to drill out the centre of the fixing
screw hole using a 3mm drill. Do not over-tighten the fixing screws as this may distort or damage
the casing.
4. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the
door / window opposite the Detector using
the adhesive tape or 15mm fixing screws.
Ensure that the parallel gap between the
Magnet and Detector is less than 10mm
and that the arrow on the Magnet is pointing
towards and aligned with the mark on the
Detector.
5. If an additional wired Magnetic Contact is
required, this should be wired to the terminal
block provided in the battery compartment
and the jumper link (S2) below should be
removed. The wired contact should be
connected using two core (24AWG) wire of
maximum length 1.5m.
A cable entry cut-out is provided beside the terminal block in the battery cover.
6. Set the Detector as described in the next section.
7. Slide the batteries supplied into the holder, ensuring that the positive (+) side is uppermost on
each battery as it is installed.
8. Carefully refit the battery holder onto the Detector ensuring that the spring connectors slide onto
either side of the circuit board.
9. Refit the battery cover.
Setting the Magnetic Contact
Detector
1. Located in the battery compartment is a row
of 11 DIP switches.
2. DIP switches 1-8 are used to set the House
Code for the Detector and must be set
to the same ON / OFF combination as
the House Code DIP switches in all other
system devices.

14
3. DIP switches 9 -11 must be set as follows.
DIP 9 DIP 10 DIP 11
ON ON OFF
4. If additional external contacts are wired to the Detector, remove the jumper link S2 on the
PCB.
IMPORTANT: If external contacts are not connected then jumper link SW2 must be fitted for
the Detector to operate correctly.
Testing the Magnetic Contact Detector
Ensure that the system is in Test/Service Mode
1. Remove the battery cover from the Detector.
As the battery cover is removed the LED on the Detector will illuminate for approx. 1 second to
indicate that the tamper switch has been activated.
2. Open the door/window. As the Magnet is moved away from the Detector the LED will illuminate
for approx. 1 second to indicate that the Detector has been triggered.
3. If connected, operate the wired Magnetic Contact.
As the contact is opened the LED on the Detector should illuminate for 1 second to indicate that
it has been triggered.
4. Replace the battery cover on the Detector.
5. It is recommended that the operation of the Detector is also tested with the alarm in normal
operating mode to ensure that the Detector will successfully trigger a Full Alarm condition.

15
External Solar Siren
Siren Housing
The Siren, Strobe Light and Solar Panel are all encapsulated
within a tough polycarbonate housing. This housing provides
full protection against adverse weather conditions. All electronic
components are specially treated to ensure long, reliable, trouble
free operation and an integral tamper switch gives maximum
security protection to the unit.
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 flash whether the system is Armed
or Disarmed. When an alarm occurs the LEDs will flash 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).
Rechargeable Battery
The Solar Siren is powered by a high capacity 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 maintain the Solar Siren unit.
Initial Power-Up Battery
An Alkaline 9V PP3 battery is supplied in the Siren & Strobe unit to provide the initial power to the
system.
Siren Code
An encrypted code is set using a combination of miniature DIP switches. This enables you to select
a unique security code for your installation.
Choosing a Location for the Solar Siren
The Siren & Strobe unit should be fitted to the outside
of the building in a position that is clearly visible and at
a height which is relatively inaccessible to an intruder.
Although the Siren & Strobe is designed to work on any
aspect wall, you should refrain from fixing the unit on a
North facing wall where possible.
Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof
overhangs should also be avoided. In practice, the
Siren & Strobe should be positioned a minimum of
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.

16
The Siren & Strobe 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 & Strobe. It is therefore
important to mount the Siren & Strobe a minimum distance of 1 metre radius away from any external
or internal metalwork, ie external drainpipes, gutters and internal radiators, pipe work etc.
Installing the Solar Siren
Remove the fixing screw from the base of the housing and carefully hinge off the front cover. All
electronic components are housed within the front cover.
Use the rear back-plate as a template to mark the position of the four fixing holes on the external
wall. Drill four 6mm holes and insert the plastic wall plugs. Mount the back-plate using the four
screws provided.

Undo the 3 screws holding the DIP Switch cover in place and remove
the cover.

17
House Code
Under the corner cover you will find a series of 9 DIP
switches.
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.
Note: When the Solar Siren is viewed as shown above
(Solar panel at top) the DIP switches are ‘upside down’.
Alarm Duration Limit
This is the maximum length of time that the Solar Siren will sound for when activated under an alarm
condition. The alarm duration can be set for either 1 or 3 minutes. Set dip switch 9 as follows:
OFF 1 minute limit
ON 3 minutes
Beep Disable
The Solar Siren will acknowledge Arm and Disarm signals from the Remote Control by beeping once
for Arm and twice for Disarm. It is possible to disable the beeps if required by removing the jumper
link P2 on the circuit board.
Siren Disable
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 is not disabled).
Refit the dip switch cover securely.
Once you have completed setting the Solar Siren, refit the DIP switch cover and replace the three
cover fixing screws. Do not over tighten the screws as this could damage the thread.
Initial Power-Up of the Solar Siren
1. Connect the 9V PP3 initial power battery to the battery clip.
Connect the rechargeable battery to the charging leads. Connect the Red lead to the Red (+)
terminal and the Black lead to the Black (-) terminals.
Note: Once the batteries have been connected, the Siren will be operational and it is important
that the Solar panel receives sufficient light to maintain the battery charge. The Siren should not
be operated repeatedly during installation and testing, as this will rapidly drain the battery. It is
recommended that the Siren be left for at least a day in order to charge the battery before the
system is armed.
2. Press the anti-tamper switch, the LEDs will flash together to indicate that the unit is operational.
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 refitting the fixing 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 fit the siren cover to the back
plate (i.e. listen for the switch to click). If the switch does not close this will prevent the Solar Siren
from operating correctly.
4. The fitting of the Solar Siren is now complete.
Siren Service Mode
In order to remove the Siren from the wall to change the batteries, it is necessary to place the Siren
into Service Mode to prevent the Tamper protection switch on the Siren operating and triggering an
alarm.
The Siren can be switched into Service Mode using the Remote Control as follows:
Remote Control:
Press and hold the button for 6 seconds.
The Siren will produce 2 short beeps as the button is pressed followed by a single long beep 6
seconds later to indicate it has switched into Service Mode.
Siren Operating Mode
When you have completed any alterations to the system remember to switch the Siren back into
Operating Mode.
The Siren can be switched into Operating Mode using the Remote Control as follows:
Remote Control:
Press and hold the button for 6 seconds.
After 6 seconds the Siren will produce a single long beep to indicate that it has switched into
Operating Mode in a Disarmed state. The button should be released during or immediately after
the long beep, otherwise the system will Arm.

19
Testing the System
Testing an Installed System
The system should be tested at regular intervals (at least every 3 months) to ensure that it is
operating correctly.
1. Before commencing testing please ensure the following:
– The Siren is in Operating Mode and Disarmed
– There is no movement or people/pets in any PIR protected area
– All doors/windows protected by Magnetic Contact Detectors are closed
– All battery covers and housings are correctly fitted
Remote Control:
2. Press the button on the Remote Control. The Siren will beep once.
3. Activate the PA switch on the Remote Control by sliding it upward.
The alarm will sound.
4. Stop the alarm by pressing the button on the Remote Control.
The Siren will stop and acknowledge the signal by beeping twice (unless Beep Disable has been
selected).
PIR Detectors:
5. Arm the system in Instant-Arm mode by pressing button on the Remote Control.
The Siren will acknowledge the signal by beeping once, (unless Beep Disable has been
selected).
