Sensor Alarms, position the edge of the alarm transmitter no
more than 10mm away from the edge of the magnet.
4.4: Infrared Sensor (with Mounting Bracket)
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the
Infrared Sensor, insert 4 “AA” alkaline batteries and replace the
battery compartment cover.
2. Hang the Mounting Bracket (using the included hardware) at
approximately 3-5 feet high in an area that is free from
obstruction.
3. Attach the Infrared Sensor (Picture 4) to the Mounting Bracket
after you have decided on your desired location and adjust the

3. Attach the Magnetic Code Controller to the door molding using heavy duty double-sided adhesive tape
or mount it down using a small size screw.
4. Peel the protective film off the double sided tape on the back of the Magnetic Sensor (Picture 5) and
affix it to the edge of the door. Make sure to align the Magnetic Code Controller and Magnetic Sensor
so that they are no more than 10mm (1/3”) apart as illustrated in Picture 6.

Section 5: SETTING UP THE MAIN CONTROL PANEL
After loading the batteries in the Wireless Indoor Lighted Siren, Infrared Sensors and Magnetic
Window/Door Sensors, you are now ready to configure the Main Control Panel. Turning the Main
Control Panel ON will generate the message NO-SAVE in the Display Panel. This means that your
system has no information stored and must be configured in order to operate. To set your system up
correctly, you will need to do the following:
1. Record an Outgoing Message into your System: Your alarm system will call you in the event of a
security breach with a pre-recorded outgoing message. Press the REC button on the front of your
Main Control Unit (See Picture 7) in order to begin recording your outgoing message. Once you press
the REC button, the system will respond by displaying a message that says REC in the Display
Screen (Picture 7). Once this message is displayed, you can begin recording a 10 second message.
You will hear an audible beep when you have reached the allotted 10 seconds. You have now set up
the outgoing message that will be played when your system auto dials the telephone numbers you
need to configure in step 2.
2. Program up to 6 Telephone Numbers into your System: Your alarm system will call you in the
event of a security breach with a pre-recorded outgoing message. To program the telephone numbers
your system will automatically dial, press the following keys on the front your Main Control Unit
(Picture 7): +1 +10 Digit Telephone Number +#
Use the same sequence of keys above to program up to 6 telephone numbers. For each number you
successfully store, your system will respond by displaying a Serial Number in the Display Screen that
corresponds to the order of entry (the first number you store will generate the Serial Number 1, the
second will display the Serial Number 2, the third will display the Serial Number 3, and so on). The
order in which your system dials out in the event of a security breach correlates to the Serial Number.
To erase the telephone numbers saved into your system, press the + #keys on the front of your
Main Control Unit (Picture 7). You will hear an audible beep informing you that you have successfully
erased the numbers stored in your system.

Section 6: SETTING UP THE MAGNETIC CODE CONTROLLER
Pressing the ARM button once on the Magnetic Code Controller will activate it after 30 seconds. After 30
seconds, the Controller is actively on and protecting the doorway that you chose to mount it on. You must
deactivate the Magnetic Code Controller in order to gain access to the doorway by entering in a 4-digit
Access Code.
The default Access Code on your Magnetic Code Controller is 0123. To change this number, hold down
the ARM button continuously for 3 seconds until you hear a beep. Press the 4 digit code of your choice
followed by the ARM button. You have now reset your Magnetic Code Controller Access Code. You
must use this Access Code to deactivate your Magnetic Code Controller and to turn off the alarm in the
event that the door the Controller is protecting has been opened improperly.

Section 7: TURNING YOUR SYSTEM ON
1. Once you have configured your Main Control Unit and your Magnetic Code Controller, you can
now use your alarm system. With the power to your Main Control Unit on, press the ARM button
on the Magnetic Code Controller (Picture 8). You will hear the Main Control Unit and the Wireless
Indoor Lighted Siren respond by beeping to let you know that they are on and armed. You will
also see the message “SAVE” displayed on the display screen of your Main Control Unit.
2. Your system is now on and after 30 seconds, you can no longer enter through any protected
windows or entry ways without triggering the system’s alarm. Entry through any of the doorways
or windows being protected will constitute a breach of security and your system will immediately
respond by emitting a high pitched alarm from the Wireless Indoor Lighted Siren and automatically
dialing out to the stored telephone numbers.
3. Pressing the “ALARM” button on your Main Control Unit should be used in the event of an
emergency as it also constitutes a breach of security and will trigger all the alarms on your system
instantaneously. The Wireless Indoor Siren will respond with a high pitched alarm and your Main
Control Unit will automatically dial out to all stored numbers in the event the “ALARM” button is
pushed.
4. Entering your 4 digit Access Code in the Magnetic Code Controller will disarm the system and
allow you to enter without triggering the system.
5. It is time to replace the batteries in your Wireless Indoor Siren when the LED light on the front flashes
in 5 second intervals. Your Infrared Sensor will notify you that it is time to change the batteries when
the LED light on the front is yellow.
