Getting to know your Gate Sensor
Thank you for choosing the Gate Alert Kit from Swann. It's the
ideal system to detect unwanted access into a restricted area
through the gate or door.
How does it work?
Basically, there are two parts to the Gate Alert Kit.
1. The Indoor Alarm Receiver works as an alarm buzzer. It
monitors for signals coming from the Gate Sensor, and
activates the alarm and channel LED indicator in response
to that signal.
2. The Gate Sensor consists of a wired switch and a magnet
which help safeguard a gate or door from being opened
without your knowledge. If the Delay button is not pressed
and the gate or door is opened, the Gate Sensor sounds its
built-in siren immediately and sends a signal to the Indoor
Alarm Receiver.

Battery Safety Information
Replace batteries at the same time. Do not mix new and
old batteries or battery types (for example, alkaline and
lithium batteries). Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Dispose of used batteries promptly in accordance with
local regulations.
Indoor Alarm Receiver
Installing batteries
1. Push the release tab and lift off the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert 3 new "AA" alkaline batteries, matching the polarity
markings (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on by pressing
down until the release tab clicks into place.
Placing your receiver
There is no requirement to mount the Indoor Alarm Receiver.
As it is also completely freestanding, you may find it more
convenient to place it on a shelf or table. One of the benefits of
a battery operated wireless receiver is that if you have a large
house, you can take the receiver with you. No more missing
visitors because you were all the way at the back of the house
or by the pool!
If you would like to mount the Indoor Alarm Receiver, we've
included all the gear (template, screws and wall plugs) you'll
need to hang it on the wall. Refer to the supplied template for
instructions on mounting the receiver.

Gate Sensor
Mounting the Gate Sensor
The Gate Sensor can be easily
mounted to a surface next to a
gate/door using the included
mounting plate, screws and wall
plugs (if mounting to brick or
concrete). Be sure to install the
Gate Sensor high enough so it's
out of reach of small children.
Mounting the switch and magnet
The sensor switch and magnet are each fitted with an adhesive
strip. Stick the sensor on the gate/door frame (the stationary
part), and the magnet on the gate/door (the moving part) itself.
Press firmly against surface for 30 seconds to create a strong
bond. For proper detection, the sensor and magnet must be
aligned side by side with their arrows pointing to each other, no
more than 3/8" apart.
Installing batteries
The Gate Sensor requires 3 x AAA batteries
(not included) to operate.
1. Remove the screws from the battery
compartment cover, and then lift up the
cover.
2. Insert 3 new "AAA" alkaline batteries,
matching the polarity markings (+ and -)
inside the battery compartment.
3. Screw the battery compartment cover
back into place.
CAUTION: The Gate Sensor siren is extremely
loud! Protect your hearing by wearing earplugs.

OPERATING BASICS OPERATING BASICS
Bypass feature
The Gate Sensor provides a 7-second delay in which you can
open the protected gate or door, and close it, without sounding
the alarm. Simply press the Delay button before opening the
gate or door. The status LED on the Gate Sensor will blink to
indicate "Bypass" is on. If the gate or door is not closed within
this time frame, the Gate Sensor will sound immediately
(for 6 seconds in 3 cycles) and also set off the Indoor Alarm
Receiver. To stop the alarm, close the gate or door.
Adjusting the alarm volume
You can change the loudness of the Indoor Alarm Receiver
using the Volume button on the back of the receiver.
Three volume levels are available: High, Medium and Low.
Silent mode
Like some peace and quiet for a period of time from the Indoor
Alarm Receiver? You can put the alarm triggered by the Gate
Sensor on “silent”. Simply press the Channel button that
corresponds with the Gate Sensor. The Indoor Alarm Receiver
beeps twice, confirming the alarm has been turned off.
If the Gate Sensor is triggered while the alarm is muted,
you will still be visually alerted by the corresponding
Channel LED indicator blinking on the Indoor Alarm
Receiver. Note that muting the receiver does not also
prevent the Gate Sensor from sounding.
To unmute the alarm, press the corresponding Channel
button again. You will hear a single confirmation beep from
the Indoor Alarm Receiver.

OPERATING BASICS
Low battery warning
Your devices will let you know when batteries are running low
on power.
• Install new batteries immediately for the Indoor Alarm
Receiver when all four LED indicators start blinking at the
same time.
• Install new batteries immediately for the Gate Sensor
when the status LED starts blinking continuously.
Pairing the Gate Sensor
The Gate Sensor and Indoor Alarm Receiver in your kit have
already been paired so all you have to do is put batteries in and
your devices are ready to use. If for some reason pairing is lost,
here's how to pair them again:
1. Make sure the sensor switch and magnet is in a "closed"
position (if mounted, the gate or door should be closed).
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the Indoor
Alarm Receiver until all the LED indicators light up. This
resets the receiver.
3. Decide which channel (1, 2or 3) you want to assign the
Gate Sensor to, and then press and hold the desired
Channel button on the back of the Indoor Alarm Receiver
until the LED indicator for that channel lights up.
4. Within 10 seconds, trigger the Gate Sensor by separating
the sensor switch and magnet (if mounted, open the gate
or door). The Indoor Alarm Receiver sounds the channel
alarm and flashes the channel LED to confirm successful
pairing.
