Alarm System

FOREWORD
Your decision to purchase an Eclipse E400 Wirefree
Alarm System represents a major and sensible step
towards total protection of your premises, its contents
and its occupants.
The E400 Wirefree Alarm System complies with
the requirements of BS6799 Class 3 for Wire-Free
Alarms. All components are designed and manufactured
to provide a high standard of security protection and
long, reliable service. In addition, the radio devices are
tested and approved by the Radio Regulatory Division
of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to ensure
that they will not interfere with other radio equipment.
No radio license is required, however, the approved
radio frequency is not protected from interference and
may be withdrawn from use at any time subject to the
DTI giving users an appropriate notice period.
The E400 Wirefree Alarm System is purposely designed
for installation by non-experienced people using only
conventional domestic tools. However, it is essential that
the installer reads and fully understands the advice and
procedures contained in this manual before proceeding
with the installation. This manual should be retained for
future reference.
During installation, it is also important that the
procedures are followed in sequence.
IMPORTANT NOTE
All components, with the exception of the External
Solar Siren & Strobe, are only suitable for internal use.
SYSTEM SECURITY
This system has been designed to both detect intruders
and act as a strong deterrent to would-be intruders.
Please remember that, given adequate knowledge and
time, it is possible to overcome any alarm system and
we therefore recommend that an Intruder Alarm is used
in conjunction with good physical protection such as
security window and door locks.
The system may be operated remotely from one or
more Remote Controls, or by entering an Access Code
at the Control Unit Keypad.
Care should be taken to ensure that your Remote
Control Unit(s) are not lost as the finder could Disarm
your alarm before you are able to re-code the system.

INTRODUCTION AND
OVERVIEW
The E400 Wirefree Alarm System is designed to
allow flexibility in configuring and using the system.
The detectors can be set to operate on any one of
4 Zones, to give an instant alarm or a timed entry
delay. There is no limit to the number of detectors that
can be installed per Zone.
A normally closed, Hard-wired Zone input is also
available on Zone 5.
Part Arm allows only selected detection Zones to be
Armed. For example, for night time protection you can
‘Arm’ the downstairs areas, garage and outbuildings,
whilst allowing you free access to the upstairs areas
without activating your alarm.
The Control Unit is programmed and operated via its
integral keypad. A User Access Code allows general
operation and full access to the programming menu.
Wired output facilities are available for connection to a
Telephone Dialler or Communicator or Hard wired
External Siren & Strobe.
The Control Unit also incorporates a sophisticated
Jamming Detection Circuit with pre-alarm indication.
The E400 Intruder Alarm package contains all the
components necessary to install a complete Intruder
Alarm System within your premises. You can increase
your protection by adding additional Wirefree Passive
Infra Red Movement Detectors and Wirefree
Magnetic Contact Detectors either at the time of
initial installation or at a future date. You may also
wish to purchase additional Remote Control Unit(s)
for use by other members of your household. Full
details of other accessories to extend your system
are given on page 24.
The items included in your E400 package are shown
opposite.
EXTENDING THE ECLIPSE

Alarm System is designed to give you protection for a
three bedroomed house. Just add additional detectors
where further protection is needed.
PART ARM
Protect either all of your home or just the areas you
choose. For example, for night time protection you can
have downstairs plus the garage and shed ‘ON’ whilst
upstairs is ‘OFF’. This allows you to occupy upstairs
areas without activating your alarm.

INSTALLATION
1. Undo the two front cover retaining screws and hinge
the Control Unit cover down. Remove the Control
Unit Back-up Battery.
2. Hold the Control Unit in position and mark the
four fixing holes. A small spirit level placed on top
of the Control Unit will ensure that the panel is
level. Note that the bottom fixings are keyhole
type so the holes should be marked at the top of
the keyhole.
3. Remove the Control Unit and drill four, 4mm
diameter fixing holes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not drill the fixing holes
with the Control Unit in position, as the resulting
dust could seriously affect the system electronics
and invalidate the guarantee.
4. Fully insert the plastic wall plugs supplied and screw
the Control Unit to the wall using the four screws
supplied. Be careful when fitting the bottom right
hand screw not to damage the ribbon cable.
5. Ensure that the Control Unit Siren Plug is plugged
into the socket on the circuit board.
PROGRAMME MEMORY
The Control Unit incorporates a ‘Non Volatile Memory’,
which will memorise all programme settings indefinitely
even when all power has been removed. To enable this
facility to operate, the memory link must be set to the
‘ON’ position.
If, for any reason, you wish to erase the programme
memory and reset the Control Unit to the factory
settings, remove all power (mains and Back-up Battery),
set the memory link to ‘OFF’ and then re-apply power.
In all other circumstances the memory link should be
left in the ‘ON’ position.

MAINS ADAPTOR AND BACK-UP
BATTERY
A DC Mains Adaptor and cable and 1.2Ahr rechargeable
Back-up Battery are supplied with the E400 equipment.
The purpose of the battery is to supply emergency
power to the Control Unit in the event of a failure of the
mains supply. The Back-up Battery is capable of
providing emergency power to the Control Unit for a
period of approximately 24 hours and will automatically
recharge on restoration of the supply. To fit the mains
adaptor and battery, proceed as follows.
1. Lead the cable along the cable track or pass the
cable through the knockout in the rear of the casing.
2. Plug the jack plug into the jack socket on the printed
circuit board as shown.
3. Plug the adaptor into a 13A socket.
4. The Control Unit will emit a bleep and the green
power indicator will now illuminate steadily,
indicating that the Control Unit is powered from the
mains supply. (It is normal for the mains adaptor to
appear warm to the touch when in use).
5. To fit the Back-up Battery, place the battery in the
compartment provided and connect the battery
leads red to red (+) and black to black ( - ).
6. In the event of mains failure the green power
indicator will now extinguish warning that the
Control Unit is powered by battery only.
Note: pressing any button on the Control Unit
Keypad, or Arming/Disarming from the Remote
Control will cause the power indicator to re-
illuminate for approximately 10 seconds and then
extinguish whilst on Back-up Battery power.
7.
Close the Control Unit cover and hold it firmly closed
whilst securing the two retaining screws. Fit the screw
cover plugs supplied to cover the retaining screws.
Note: if you accidently trigger the Control Unit Anti-
Tamper Switch whilst closing the cover,
Enter to cancel the alarm.
EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
The Control Unit incorporates a terminal block to
facilitate external connection of a Hard Wired Siren,
Telephone Dialler or a Hard Wired Zone 5 Trigger input.
If any Hard-wired connections are to be made at the
Control Unit it is recommended that these are made
AFTER the initial installation and programming of the
Control Unit.
For details of making external connections to the
Control Unit, see page 17.
SYSTEM HOUSE CODE
In order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to activate
or disarm your system, you must set your system to
accept encrypted radio signals only from your own
detector(s) and Remote Control Unit(s). This is done by
setting a series of two position miniature switches in the
detectors and Remote Control Unit(s) to a special
combination (House Code) selected by yourself and
programming the Control Unit to recognise only this
House Code combination.
IMPORTANT: In order for all detectors, Remote
Control Unit(s) and accessories to communicate
with the Control Unit, it is essential that the same
House Code combination is used for all components.
(Except the Solar Siren & Strobe which has a separate
Siren Code).
Inside your Remote Control(s) and detectors you will
find a series of two position miniature switches. Your

House Code is set up by moving each of the first 8 switches
(numbered 1-8) to a random sequence of ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’.
Note: when setting the miniature switches in each item
of equipment, ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ into
position. Use the tip of a ball point pen or a small screw
driver to move each switch in turn.
REMOTE CONTROL
One Remote Control Unit is supplied in the standard E400
package. However, additional Remote Control Unit(s) can
be purchased separately, if required. The Remote Control
Unit(s) are used to Fully Arm or Disarm the system.
The Remote Control is also used to initially set the
Control Unit’s House Code and Siren Code.
The Remote Control Unit also incorporates a personal
attack button. This sounds the alarm at any time
whether the system is Armed or not. Just press ‘Panic’
and the alarm will sound. If this is activated by mistake
you can cancel the alarm by pressing and releasing the
‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control.
Any number of Remote Control Unit(s) can be used with
your system, providing they are all coded with the
system House Code. To set the House Code and fit the
battery, proceed as follows.
1. Remove the battery cover
with a coin.
2. Fit the 12 Volt Alkaline battery supplied with the
negative ( - ) towards the battery spring.
3. Using a small screwdriver or ball-point pen, set the
miniature switches 1-8 to a random combination of
‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ settings. This is your House Code.
Make a careful note of the setting of each switch as
this information will be needed when you set up
other items in your system.
4. Replace the battery cover.
SETTING THE CONTROL
UNIT HOUSE CODE
To enable the Control Unit to receive the radio signals
from your Remote Control(s) and detectors, the system
House Code must be programmed into the Control
Unit’s memory. The Control Unit learns the system
House Code from the Remote Control. Ensure that a
battery has been fitted and a House Code has been set
in the Remote Control and then proceed as follows:-
1. Ensure that only the Control Unit’s green mains
power indicator LED is illuminated.
2. Enter
The Control Unit is now in Test/Programming mode.
The power LED will now be flashing.
3. Enter
The Zones 1-4 LEDs will illuminate (unless a House
Code has already been set in which case the LEDs
will indicate the code set).
4. To set the Control Unit House Code, (or to change
the House Code to the new code) simply press the
‘OFF’ button on your Remote Control.
The Control Unit will acknowledge the signal by
bleeping twice and memorise the House Code set in
the Remote Control. The Control Units row of 8
LEDs will now indicate the House Code switch
setting selected for each switch 1-8 in the Remote
Control as follows:-
House Code switch ‘ON’ = LED ‘ON’
House Code switch ‘OFF’ = LED ‘OFF’
5. Once the House Code has been set, press
twice to exit Test/Programming mode.
SETTING THE CONTROL
UNIT TO TEST MODE
Before installing Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors,
Magnetic Contact Detectors or other accessories you
should set the Control Unit to Test/Programming mode.
This will help to ensure that the correct House Code is
used and to establish the radio range.
1. Enter
The Control Unit will emit two bleeps and the power
LED will flash.

2. The system is now in Test/Programming mode.
3. Now, each time the Control Unit receives a valid
radio signal from a detector or Remote Control, the
Control Unit will emit a two-tone alarm for
approximately 3 seconds and the associated Zone
LED will illuminate. To clear the Zone LED indicator,
press the ‘OFF’ button on your Remote Control.
To test the radio range of the Control Unit’s receiver,
press and release the ‘Panic’ button on the Remote
Control from in and around the property and from all
locations where you plan to install the detectors and
check that the Control Unit acknowledges the signals
by emitting a two tone alarm.
The Control Unit should be left in Test mode whilst the
detectors and other accessories are set up and
installed. However, if you wish to exit the Test mode,
press the button. The Unit will emit two bleeps and
the power LED will illuminate steadily.
SYSTEM ZONING
The E400 detectors can be set to operate on any one of
four Zones. There is no limit to the number of detectors
that can be installed on a Zone, although we
recommend that only one detector is installed per Zone
for ease of alarm verification. Alternatively, where more
than four detectors are installed, group all the detectors
in one area or room on the same Zone.
Zone selection is set on each detector using the two
position miniature switches 9 and 10 as follows:-
In addition to a Radio Detection Alarm input on Zones
1-4, facilities are available on the Control Unit terminal
block to also Hard-wire a normally closed (open
on alarm) circuit. This is referred to as Zone 5 and is
indicated at the Control Unit on the Tamper/Personal
Attack/Zone 5 LED (LED flashing). The Hard-wired Zone
should be wired across terminals 10 and 11 on the
Control Unit terminal block, in place of the factory fitted
link. The Tamper/Personal Attack Zone also monitors the
detector and Control Unit Tamper Circuits, ie. Control
Unit front and rear Tamper switches, Jamming Detection
and, (where fitted), Hard-wired siren tamper return.
WIREFREE PASSIVE
INFRA RED MOVEMENT
DETECTORS (PIRs)
Two Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors are
supplied in the standard package. However,
additional Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors can
be purchased separately, if required. Passive Infra
Red Movement Detectors are designed to detect
movement within a protected area. The detector
element detects differences in Infra Red radiation
when a person moves within the protected area. If
movement is detected, a radio signal is transmitted to
the Control Unit to activate the alarm.
The recommended position for a Passive Infra Red
Movement Detector is in the corner of a room
mounted between 2 and 2.5 metres from the floor.
At this height, the detector will detect movement up
to 6 metres at 110° and 12 metres at 60° depending
on adjustment. Also, in this position, the 110°/60°
fan-shaped detection patterns can normally offer
greater protection than mounting on a flat wall.

Before selecting a position for a Passive Infra Red
Movement Detector the following points should be
noted:
1. Do not position detector facing a window or direct
sunlight. Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors
are not suitable for use in conservatories or
draughty areas.
2. Do not position detector directly above any source
of heat, eg. fire, radiators, boiler etc.
3. Where possible, keep pets out of areas protected
by Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors. If this
is not possible, alternative mounting arrangements
or a special Pet Lens may be required.
4. Where possible, mount the detector so that the
logical path of an intruder would cut across the fan
patterns rather than directly towards the detector.
Any number of Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors
can be used with your system, providing they are all
coded with the system House Code and are within the
radio range of the Control Unit. To install and set the
Passive Infra Red Detector, proceed as follows.
INSTALLING THE WIREFREE
PASSIVE INFRA RED MOVEMENT
DETECTORS (PIRs)
1. Remove the battery cover by inserting a coin
under the cover lip and twisting open. Remove the
fixings pack.
2. Remove the screw (in the battery compartment)
holding the wall bracket to the detector.
3. Slide the bracket up and remove the wall bracket
from the detector as shown.
4. Hold the wall bracket in position and mark the two
mounting holes. (If corner mounting, drill pilot holes
in the chamfers as shown). Drill two 4mm diameter
holes and insert the plastic wall plugs and screw the
bracket to the wall using the screws supplied.
5. Offer the detector up to the wall bracket and locate
it into one of the bracket slots to angle the detector
down slightly. Fix the detector in position on the
bracket using the fixing screw at the rear of the
battery compartment.

2. Determine the Zone on which the detector is to
operate and set miniature switches 9 and 10 to
correspond to the required Zone. (Refer to System
Zoning page 9).
3. The PIR incorporates an anti false-alarm feature
designed to compensate where the detector may
be affected by environmental changes, eg. insects,
air temperature, etc. This feature is called ‘Pulse
Count’ and may be selected for one or two pulses.

The recommended Pulse Count is one. In cases of
extreme environmental problems or if unattributable
false alarms are experienced, it may be necessary
to select two Pulse Count detection.
Note: The higher the Pulse Count, the more
paces an intruder will have to move before
triggering the alarm.
To select the required Pulse Count move the switch
on the side of the detector:
UP = Two Pulse Detection
DOWN = One Pulse Detection
4. Fit the 9 Volt Alkaline battery supplied to the battery
terminals, but do not replace the battery cover.
Note: As soon as the battery is connected, a two
tone Alarm will be emitted from the Control Unit
siren for 3 seconds and the Tamper/PA Zone LED
will illuminate. This confirms that the House Code
is correct and that the detector is within radio
range of the Control Unit.
5. After the battery has been connected for approx.
40 seconds, the Infra Red Movement Detector will
become active causing the LED above the
detector window to flash every time movement is
detected. Where two Pulse Count detection has
been selected, the LED will be dim on the first
detection and brighter on the second.
The Control Unit will also emit a 3 second alarm
tone each time the detector senses movement and
the appropriate Zone LED will be illuminated to
confirm the Zone selected.
6. By walking into the protected area the detector will
now be triggered each time the detector senses
movement. If necessary re-adjust the detection
distance by angling the detector up or down on its
wall bracket.
7. Replace the battery cover on the detector.
Note: When the detector is fully installed, ie.
battery cover is refitted, the Unit will not detect
movement for approx. 40 seconds after each
activation. In normal operation, with the battery
cover on, the red LED, above the detector window,
will NOT illuminate upon detection of movement.
Leave the Control Unit in Test mode and proceed to
install your remaining detectors.
WIREFREE MAGNETIC
CONTACT DETECTOR
One Magnetic Contact Detector is supplied in E400
package. However, additional Magnetic Contact
Detectors can be purchased separately if required. Any
number of Magnetic Contact Detectors can be used
with your system providing they are all coded with the
system House Code and are within radio range of the
Control Unit. Magnetic Contact Detectors can be fitted
to protect doors or windows, as required.
Before fixing the detector to a metal door/window
check the radio range as previously described. Under
exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to
space the magnet/detector off the metal surface using
a plastic or wooden spacer to achieve the necessary
radio range.
To install the detector, set the House Code and fit the
battery, proceed as follows:
ENSURE THAT THE CONTROL UNIT IS STILL IN
TEST MODE
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting off.
Do not use a screw driver to lever off.
2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and sliding the connectors off of the
printed circuit board.
3. Fix the detector and magnet to the opening using
either the double sided tape OR screws provided.
When using the screws ensure that the small
countersunk screw is used within the battery
compartment.
Mount the magnet to the door and the detector to
the door frame (or vice versa, if necessary).
Ensure that the arrows on the magnet and
detector are pointing towards each other and that
the gap between the detector and the magnet is
less than 5mm.
4. Using a ball-point pen, set the miniature switches
1-8 to the same combination of ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ as
the switches in the Remote Control.
5. Determine the Zone on which the detector is to
operate and set miniature switches 9 and 10 to
correspond to the required Zone. (Refer to system
Zoning page 9).
11Eclipse E400

6. Slide the batteries supplied into the battery holder,
ensuring that the positive (+) side is uppermost on
each battery as it is installed.
7. Carefully refit the battery holder into the detector
ensuring that the spring connectors slide onto
either side of the circuit board.
Note: As soon as the battery holder is connected, the
Control Unit will emit a two tone alarm for 3 seconds
and the Tamper/PA Zone LED will illuminate. This
confirms that the House Code is correct and that the
detector is within radio range of the Control Unit.
8. Refit the battery cover by placing it over the
batteries and sliding it on.
9. Test the operation by opening the door/window.
The LED on the detector will light for approx.
1 second and then extinguish each time the magnet
is parted from the detector.
The Control Unit will also emit a 3 second alarm
tone each time the detector is operated and the
appropriate Zone LED will be illuminated to
confirm the Zone selected.
Once you have completed installing all your
detectors, take the Control Unit out of Test mode
by pressing the button. The Control Unit will
emit 2 bleeps and the Power LED will illuminate
steadily.
INSTALLING AND
SETTING THE EXTERNAL
SOLAR SIREN & STROBE
The Solar 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.
The Solar Siren & Strobe incorporates a solar panel
which will maintain a charge to the integral 6 Volt
1.2Ahr sealed lead acid rechargeable battery during
daylight hours. During the night, a negligible amount
of energy is released by the rechargeable battery
to operate the Siren & Strobe. The Solar Siren &
Strobe is self maintainable during darkness and
long winter periods.
LOCATION
To provide the optimum amount of daylight to the
Solar Panel, you should ideally mount the Solar Siren
& Strobe on a south facing wall. However, an easterly
or westerly position will suffice.
Although the Solar Siren & Strobe is designed to work on
any aspect wall, for optimum performance you should
refrain from siting the Unit on a north facing wall where

roof overhangs should also be avoided. Where applicable,
the Solar 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.
The Solar 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 Solar Siren & Strobe.
It is therefore important to mount the Solar Siren
& Strobe a minimum distance of 1 metre radius
away from any external or internal metalwork,
ie. external drain pipes, gutters and internal radiators,
mirrors etc.
INSTALLATION
Remove the holding 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 backplate as a template to mark the position
of the four fixing holes on the external wall. Drill four
5mm diameter holes and insert the plastic wall plugs.
Mount the backplate using the four screws provided.
SETTINGS
Undo the three screws holding the dip switch cover in
place and remove the cover.
SIREN CODE
Under the cover you will find a series of two position
miniature dip switches.
Using a ball-point pen set the miniature dip switches
1-8 to a random sequence of ‘ON’s’ and ‘OFF’s’.
Make a note of the Siren Code dip switch settings as
this will be needed when programming the Siren
Code into the Control Unit.
DO NOT SET THE SIREN CODE TO THE HOUSE CODE
USED IN THE DETECTORS/REMOTE CONTROLS.
Note: When the Siren & Strobe is viewed as
shown below (solar panel at top) the dip switches
are ‘upside down’.

ALARM DURATION
This is the maximum length of time that the Solar Siren &
Strobe alarm will sound for, following activation. Alarm
duration can be set for either 3 or 15 minutes. Set dip
switch 9 ‘OFF’ for 3 minutes or ‘ON’ for 15 minutes.
Refit the dip switch cover securely.
Note: Following activation into alarm condition the
Solar Siren & Strobe will continue to sound until either
the Control Unit is disarmed, or the Control Unit
Autostop time expires, or until the Siren & Strobe Alarm
Duration Time expires; whichever occurs first.
INITIAL POWER-UP
Once you have completed setting your Siren Code and
Alarm Duration Time, connect the 9 Volt PP3 initial
Power-up Battery to the clip-on connectors. Connect
the Rechargeable Battery to the charging leads red to
red (+) and black to black ( - ).
Hinge the front cover locating tabs over the top edge of
the backplate, push the base of the Siren cover into
place and secure with the lower fixing screw.
The installation of your Solar Siren & Strobe is now
complete.
Note: Once the batteries have been connected, the
unit will be operational and it is important that the Solar
Panel receives sufficient light to maintain the battery
charge. Also, the Unit should not be repeatedly set into
alarm during installation/testing as this could rapidly
drain the battery.
PROGRAMMABLE
FUNCTIONS
The Control Unit incorporates nine programmable
functions which are selected and set via the Control
Unit’s keypad. A factory ‘Default’ setting is
incorporated for each programmable function. The
system incorporates a non-volatile memory which
memorises all the user programmable settings in the
event of a total power down.
In the event that you wish to revert the Control Unit to
factory ‘Default’ settings, remove all power (mains and
Back-up Battery), set the memory link to ‘OFF’ and then
re-apply power. In all other circumstances the memory
link should be left ‘ON’ for full system security.
IMPORTANT: As all programmable functions have a
‘Default’ setting it is important that each function is
selected and set to your requirements on initial
installation.
The Control Unit has an initial ‘Default’ User Access Code
(the code that operates the system) of .
To enter the Test/Programming mode and change each
programmable function, proceed as follows:
Enter
The Control Unit will emit two bleeps and the
Power LED will flash to indicate the system is in
Test/Programming mode.
Note: If you make an error when entering your settings,
press once to exit the programming function then
enter the function number followed by and re-enter
your correct settings.
To exit the Test/Programming mode at any time

1. HOUSE CODE
The House Code setting enables the Control Unit to
receive signals only from its associated detectors.
The House Code is usually self-learned from the
Remote Control on initial installation (see page 8)
and further programming is therefore not required.
However, if a Remote Control is lost or the House
Code needs to be re-programmed for any other
reason, proceed as follows:- with the Control Unit
in Test/Programming mode enter . The Control
Unit’s row of 8 LEDs will indicate the House Code
switch setting selected for each switch 1-8 as
follows:-
House Code Switch ‘ON’ = LED ‘ON’
House Code Switch ‘OFF’ = LED ‘OFF’
Factory Default House Code 1, 2, 3, 4, ‘ON’ - 5, 6, 7, 8, ‘OFF’;
LEDs 1, 2, 3, 4, ‘ON’ - 5, 6, 7, 8, ‘OFF’.
To set the House Code (or change the House Code
to a new code), ensure that a battery has been fitted
and a House Code set in the Remote Control then
press the ‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control.

Press to memorise the setting and to revert to the
Test/Programming mode.
3. EXIT/ENTRY DELAY TIME
When the system is Fully Armed either at the Control
Unit or via a Remote Control, the system will ignore all
detectors for the Exit/Entry Delay time, to allow you to
leave the premises.
Similarly, when entering an Entry Delay Zone with the
system Armed or Part Armed, the system will be
inactive for the Exit/Entry Delay time to allow you time
to Disarm the system by entering your Access Code at
the Control Unit, or using the Remote Control.
Note: The Exit and Entry Delay times cannot be
individually programmed to different settings. The Exit
delay when the system is Part Armed is preset to 30
seconds and cannot be changed. However, the Entry
Delay time will be the same as that set for Full Arm
operation.

LED ‘ON’
Press as required to select the delay tone required
Press to memorise the setting and revert to the
Test/Programming mode.
7. JAMMING DETECTION SYSTEM
In order to detect any attempts to illegally Jam the radio
channel used with your alarm system a sophisticated
Jamming Detection system is incorporated into the
Control Unit. If this feature is selected and the radio
channel is continuously jammed for more than 30
seconds, when the system is Armed or Part Armed, the
Control Unit sounder will emit a pre-alarm series of
rapid bleeps for 5 seconds. If the Jamming continues
for a further 10 seconds or more, a Full Alarm will occur
indicated by the Internal and External Alarms sounding
and the Tamper/Personal Attack Zone LED illuminating.
The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to 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 is monitored for false jamming alarms
for at least 2 weeks prior to leaving the Jamming Detect
function on permanently.
With the Control Unit in Test/Programming mode
Enter
Zone 1 LED will indicate the setting:-
LED ‘OFF’ - Jamming Detection system ‘OFF’
LED ‘ON’ - Jamming Detection system ‘ON’
Factory default:-

8. USER ACCESS CODE
The Control Unit is supplied with a preset User Access
Code of . This code allows general
operation ( Arming/Disarming etc) and programming/re-
programming of the system at the Control Unit.
However, for security reasons, it is essential that you
change the User Access Code to another four-digit
number which only you and other users of the system
will know and use (usually a number with a personal
significance is easier to remember).
To change the User Access Code:-
With the Control Unit in Test/Programming mode
Enter
Zones 1 - 4 LEDs will be illuminated.
Enter your new Access Code
The Zone LEDs 1-4 will extinguish as each digit is
entered.
Press to memorise the setting and to revert to
Test/Programming mode.
IMPORTANT: The Control Unit will only recognise the
entering of the new User Access Code from now on. If
you should forget your Access Code and need to
change it, you will need to completely power down the
Control Unit and reset the memory link to ‘OFF’ to revert
the Access Code and all the other programmable
functions back to the factory default settings.
9. SIREN CODE
A small radio transmitter is incorporated within the
E400 Control Unit to operate and control the External
Solar Siren & Strobe. To enable the Control Unit to
communicate with the External Solar Siren & Strobe
the Siren Code set in the External Siren (see page 13)
needs to be programmed into the Control Unit.
This is done by temporarily resetting the House Code in
the Remote Control to the Siren Code and teaching the
Siren Code to the Control Unit.
To programme the Siren Code into the Control Unit,
with the Control Unit in Test/Programming mode
Enter
The Control Unit’s row of 8 LEDs will indicate the Siren
Code switch setting selected for each two position
switch as follows:-
Switch set ‘ON’ - LED ‘ON’
Switch set ‘OFF’ - LED ‘OFF’
Factory default:- switches 1, 3, 5, 7 ‘ON’
To enter/change the Siren Code, refer to the Siren Code
switch 1-8 settings previously set in your Solar Siren &
Strobe, remove your Remote Control’s battery cover
and temporarily reset the miniature switches 1-8 in the
Remote Control to the Siren Code. Press and release
the ‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control. The Control
Unit will acknowledge the signal by bleeping twice and
the Control Unit LEDs 1-8 will illuminate to indicate the
new Siren Code setting.
Press to memorise the Siren Code setting and to
revert to the Test/Programming mode.
RESET YOUR REMOTE CONTROL MINIATURE
SWITCHES TO YOUR HOUSE CODE AND REPLACE
THE BATTERY COVER.

FULLY ARMING THE SYSTEM
When leaving the premises, the system must be Fully
Armed. However, before doing so, check that all
windows are closed and locked, all protected doors
are closed and Passive Infra Red Movement
Detectors are not obstructed. Ensure that pets are
restricted to areas not protected by Passive Infra Red
Movement Detectors or that suitable precautions
have been taken to allow for pets.
The system may be Fully Armed either at the Control
Unit or using a Remote Control. To Fully Arm at the
Control Unit
Enter
To Fully Arm the system from a Remote Control simply
press the ‘ON’ button.
If the system has been programmed for a constant
Exit/Entry Delay tone, the Control Unit will emit a
continuous tone for the duration of the Exit time Arming
automatically when the Exit time expires.
If the system Exit/Entry Delay tone has been set for
‘Semi Silent’, the Control Unit will emit two bleeps,
followed by two bleeps on expiry of the Exit time.
All occupants must leave the premises before the Exit
time has expired. If for any reason you are unable to
leave the premises before the Exit time has expired,
you will need to Disarm the system, then Re-Arm.
Failure to do so will cause a Full Alarm if any protected
door is opened or movement is detected by a Passive
Infra Red Movement Detector.
Note: When Fully Armed, the Control Unit ‘System
Status’ LED will be constantly illuminated.
PART ARMING THE SYSTEM
If you are remaining in the premises, you may Arm all
the Zones which have not been omitted, by selecting
Part Arm. This will permit free access to the omitted
Zone areas.
The system may only be Part Armed from the Control
Unit. The Part Arm Exit time is preset to 30 seconds.
To Part Arm the system
Enter at the Control Unit.
The LEDs associated with the Part Arm Zone(s)
will illuminate for 30 seconds. (Any Zone LED not lit
indicates that the Zone has omitted and will not be
active in Part Arm mode).
In addition, the Control Unit will emit two bleeps,
followed by two bleeps on completion of the 30 second
Exit time.
Note: Zone 5 ‘Active’ will be indicated by the
Tamper/Personal Attack/Zone 5 LED illuminating.
After the 30 second Exit time the LEDs will extinguish.
You must leave all protected Zones before expiry
of the 30 second Arming time. If for any reason you
are unable to leave the protected areas within the
Arming time, you will need to Disarm the system then
Re-Arm. Failure to do so will cause a Full Alarm if
any protected door is opened or movement is
detected by a Passive Infra Red Movement Detector
set to operate in Part Arm.
Note: When Part Armed the Control Unit ‘System
Status’ LED will be flashing.
