Installation (continued)

Installing the alarm

Select a dry and interior location for the alarm such as a door or door frame. Use

either the provided screws (C) and wall anchors (D) (for permanent mounting) or

the double-sided tape (B) (for temporary mounting). The recommended location is

the back of the door, with the magnet (E) mounted to the fixed door frame.

NOTE:

Mounting the alarm to the door ensures that the alarm will not be damaged by opening

and closing the door. The magnet may be mounted to either side of the alarm as long as the
arrows line up.

IMPORTANT:

Whether mounting to the door or the door frame, the gap distance between the

alarm (A) and the magnet (E) must be no more than 12 mm/0.4 in. (approximately a ½ in. gap).

Screw and anchor installation:

Measure and mark the locations of the

screws for the alarm and the magnet. Line up the arrows of the alarm (A) and
the magnet (E). Ensure the distance between the two pieces is 12 mm/0.4 in. or
less. To test the gap distance, turn the ALARM/CHIME switch to CHIME and open
the door. If it does not sound, move either the alarm or magnet closer. Secure
the position of the alarm (A) and the magnet (E) once they work correctly in
combination.

Double-sided tape installation:

Ensure the mounting surface is clean and

dry. Use the double-sided tape (B) to lightly attach the magnet (E) and the alarm
(A) to the desired mounting surface. Ensure the distances are correct between the
alarm (A) and magnet (E) as previously described. When the distances are correct
and the chime works, secure the alarm and magnet into position.

Gap must not exceed
“12mm/0.4 in.
(approximately a 1/2 in.)”

Operation

Creating a personal alarm code

Use the keypad to set a personal 4-digit code for arming and disarming the alarm.

Remove the screw from the battery compartment door located on the back of
the unit.

Slide off the door in the direction of the arrow.

Press the LEARN button. The red light on the front of the alarm will blink for 15
seconds.

During this time, input your 4-digit code using the keypad on the alarm. A beep
will confirm each input. When the 4th digit is entered, the alarm will beep to
confirm the new code has been accepted. If the LED stops flashing before the
code is entered, or the alarm does not produce the confirmation beep, start the
process again.

Replace the battery compartment cover and secure the screw.

Operating in alarm mode

In ALARM mode, the device produces a constant high-volume alarm sound when
triggered.

To activate ALARM mode, slide the mode selector switch located in the battery

compartment to the ALARM position.

Enter the 4-digit User Access Code . The alarm will beep as each digit is entered.

If entered incorrectly, the unit will sound and the indicator light will flash red

three times.

There will be a 45 second exit delay before the unit is armed. The alarm’s

indicator light will flash red quickly, alerting you that the unit has been activated

and has begun the 45 second count down. The delay allows time for you to leave

the protected area without triggering the alarm. When returning the protected

area, there is a 30 second delay to allow time to enter the 4-digit code before the

alarm will sound.

Operation (continued)

Disarming the alarm

Enter the 4-digit User Access Code. The alarm will beep as each digit is entered.

Two beeps will indicate that the User Access Code is correct and the system has

been disarmed. If an incorrect code is entered, the unit will sound a louder beep.

Enter the correct code anytime after the alarm has sounded to deactivate.

Operating in chime mode

CHIME mode is used for lower security situations and produces a door chime sound
when activated.

To activate CHIME mode, slide the mode selector switch located in the battery

compartment to the CHIME position.

Enter the 4-digit User Access Code. The alarm will beep as each digit is entered.

A door chime will indicate that the User Access Code is correct and the system

has armed.

The alarm will produce a door chime sound each time the door is opened and the

magnet is moved away from the alarm.

To deactivate the chime, slide the ALARM/CHIME switch to ALARM mode.

Testing

It is recommended that the alarm is tested immediately after installation and at regular
intervals not exceeding 1 month.

NOTE:

A cloth can be used to cover the siren and reduce the sound output of the alarm

during testing.
