Before you begin to install your Security System, analyze the premises to
determine your security needs. If your premises has two entrances, you
may want to put a Door/Window Sensor on each door. You may choose
your main door and a window that is hidden by some bushes and is not
visable from the street. If you are securing a small business, you may
choose the front door and the warehouse door as locations for your sensors.
(If your security plan requires additional Door/Window Sensors, or some
Motion Sensors, see Additional Accessories at the end of the manual.
Motion Sensors (optional) monitor an area and if there is any movement in
that area, the Motion Sensor will send a signal to the Audio Alarm and the
alarm will sound.
Sketch a map of the premises and determine which doors and windows need
sensors and whether you require Motion Sensors.
PLANNING YOUR HOME SECURITY NEEDS
The Audio Alarm is water resistant so it can be installed indoors or outdoors
within access to an electrical outlet. We recommend that you install the
Audio Alarm close to the front door so you can hear when the unit is activated/
deactivated.

INSTALLATION
Installation is done using the screws included. For your convenience, we
have also included wall anchors and a template to aid in the installation of
the Audio Alarm and the Door/Window Sensors.
How to use the template to help in the installation:
1. Tape the template to the wall where you would like the component to be
2. Screw part way into the surface where the holes are marked on the template
3. Unscrew the screws and remove the template
4. Screw the component in place where you started the screws
We recommend that you install all components first with the double sided
tape included and once you are satisfied with the positioning, reinstall using
the screws.
INSTALLING THE AUDIOALARM
The Audio Alarm is water resistance so it can be installed indoors or outdoors
within access to an electrical outlet. Be careful that the AC adapter wire
doesn't guide rain water to the DC JACK located at the bottom of the
Audio Alarm.
There are two ways to attach the Audio Alarm to the wall:
Hanging it on two stationary screws
1. Using the template provided, insert the two
screws into the wall.
2. Align the two top keyholes on the triangular
tabs located at the back of the Audio Alarm
with the screws on the wall.
3. Gently push the Audio Alarm on to these
two screws.
4. Open the small door on the bottom of the
Audio Alarm.
5. Insert the AC adapter and the antenna in
the appropriate holes.
6. Close the small door so that the AC adapter
and the antenna are running through the
appropriate spaces in the door.
DELETE SENSORS AND TRANSMITTERS
You can not delete one sensor/transmitter from the Audio Alarm at a time.
You must clear all the sensors and transmitters that are currnetly com-
municating with the Audio Alarm, then re-program the ones you want to keep.
Delete All Sensors and Transmitters
1. Turn the Audio Alarm off
by sliding the switch on the
bottom of the Audio Alarm
so that the “ON” light is not
lit.
2. Press and hold the learn
button found on the bottom
of the Audio Alarm.
3. While holding the button,
turn on the Audio Alarm by
sliding the switch on the
bottom.
4. You will hear a long beep
followed by a series of
short beeps. When you
hear the short beeps, re-
lease the learn button.
You have now cleared all sensors and transmitters from communicating with
the Audio Alarm.

TO THE AUDIO ALARM
PROGRAM SENSORS AND TRANSMITTERS
The two Door/Window Sensors have been preprogrammed as well as the key-
chain transmitter at the factory to communicate with the Audio Alarm. If after
testing, there is no communication or you have purchased additional Door/
Window Sensors or Motion Sensors, (option), follow the instructions below:
Note: As many as 15 sensors and keychain transmitters can be programmed
to communicate with the Audio Alarm.
Program Door/Window Sensors & Keychain Transmitter
1. With only the “ON” light lit on the Audio Alarm, press and hold the learn
button located on the bottom of the Audio Alarm.
2. While pressing down on the button,
For Door/Window Sensor - press the button on top of the transmitter
of the Door/Window Sensor.
For Keychain Transmitter - press any of the four buttons on the Key-
chain Transmitter and hold for 2 seconds.
3. If a connection has been made, the Audio Alarm will stop beeping and
make a continuous tone until the "learn" button on the Audio Alarm is
released.
4. Now test the sensor by opening the door or window. If the Audio Alarm
beeps, they are communicating.
Note: If you are alone while programming the sensors, take the Audio Alarm
off the wall and bring it to the sensors so all the components are in one place.
Screwing the unit to the wall
1. Unscrew the two triangular hanging tabs
located at the back of the Audio Alarm.
2. Turn them around and slide them back into
place so that the two tabs are pointing up
and the two keyholes are visible from the
front.
INSTALLING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR (WT-433)
It is recommended to install one sensor on your front door and the other on
your back door.

INSTALLATION
ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEM
1. Position the transmitter be-
side the door/window frame on
the wall using either two sided
tape or screws. If you are using
screws, first pry off the back plate
with a small screwdriver and
screw the back plate into posi-
tion using the template. Then click
the transmitter on to the back
plate now mounted on the wall.
2. Position the magnetic switch connected to
the transmitter on the door/window frame.
3. Position the magnet on the door beside the
magnetic switch. They should be no more
than 1 cm (3/8 inch) apart. When the door/
window is closed, the magnets are in contact.
When the door/window is opened, contact is
broken and the transmitter sends a signal to
the Control Panel to activate the chime or
alarm.
Now that the system is installed and the sensors are communicating with
the Audio Alarm, it is time to learn how to arm and disarm the Audio Alarm.
The only way to arm and disarm the Audio Alarm is via the Keychain Trans-
mitter and Keypad Control (option).
When the Audio Alarm is ON, the four buttons on the transmitter do the
following:
Panic Button - instantly activates the alarm, whether the Audio Alarm is in
arm mode or not. Will always activate the alarm when the
“ON” light is lit on the Audio Alarm.
Button #1 - this button will arm the Audio Alarm so that the Audio Alarm
will communicate with the sensors and transmitters.
Button #2 - when the system is on but not armed and a remote sensor is
activated, the Audio Alarm will emit one chime, (beep). Button #2
allows you to activate or deactivate the chime sound. For example,
if people are using the frontdoor constantly, you may choose to
turn off the chime sound.
Button #3 -when the siren is sounding, this button will turn off the siren and
disarm the Audio Alarm.
-when the siren is not sounding but the system is armed, this
button will disarm the Audio Alarm.

TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
Before you learn how to use your security system, test to make sure that
the Door/Window Sensors and the Keychain Transmitter are communicat-
ing with the Audio Alarm.
TESTING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS
Turn on the Audio Alarm, (slide the button on
the bottom of the unit to “ON”), allow 30 seconds
for the Audio Alarm to warm up. The red “ON”
light will appear. (when testing, do not turn the
“ARM” light on or the siren will sound.)
1. Open the door or window that has the sensor
on it.
2. The Audio Alarm will beep and the “ON” light
will flash once, meaning the Audio Alarm has
accepted the signal from the Door/Window
Sensor. If the unit didn’t beep, it is not communi-
cating with the sensor. Relocate the Magnet
closer to the Magnetic Switch or the Door/
Window Sensor. It may need to be programmed
to communicate with the Audio Alarm, (see
Program Sensors and Transmitters)
3. Repeat the above 2 steps with the other door or window with the sensor.
TESTING THE KEYCHAIN TRANSMITTER
Turn on the Audio Alarm so that only the
“ON” light appears. Press button 1, 2 or 3
on the Keychain Transmitter, and if the Key-
chain Transmitter is communicating with the
Audio Alarm, the "ON" light will flash once.
The "ARM" light will come on if you press button
1.The Audio Alarm may beep once depending
if you have the sound turned on. Button 2
activates and deactivates the sound. If the
"ON" light does not flash, you must program
the Keychain Transmitter to communicate
with the Audio Alarm. (See Program Sensors
and Transmitters)
