contents and its occupants.

All components are designed and manufactured to

provide a high standard of security protection and long,

reliable service.

The PA4 Alarm System is designed for ease of

installation using only conventional domestic tools.

However, it is essential that the installer reads and fully

understands the advice and procedures contained in

this manual and plans the system before proceeding

with the installation.

During installation, it is important that the procedures

described in this manual are followed in sequence.

This manual should be retained in a safe place for

future reference.

IMPORTANT

All components, with the exception of the External Siren,

are suitable for mounting in dry interior locations only.

Tools and Equipment Required:

3mm flat bladed screwdriver

LOCAL AUTHORITY REGULATIONSDepending on your location within the country, you

may be required by law to notify the Local Authorities

and Police of your new alarm installation.

Local Authority requirements differ from area to area,

therefore, we recommend that you contact your Local

Borough Environmental Officer to obtain full details of

your area's requirements.

SAFETY WARNINGSBefore proceeding with the installation, please note

the following safety warnings:

1. Always follow the manufacturers advice when

using power tools, steps, ladders etc. and wear

suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles)

when drilling holes and hammering home cable

clips etc.

2. Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden

cables and pipes. The use of a cable/pipe locator

may be advisable if in any doubt.

3. When using ladders, ensure that they are

positioned on a firm stable surface at the correct

angle and suitably secured before use.

4. The use of ear defenders is advisable when working

in close proximity to the Siren due to the high sound

level produced by this device.

SYSTEM SECURITYThis 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 windows and door locks.

The system is operated from the Control Panel using a

4 digit User Access code. Care should be taken to

ensure that your User Access code does not become

The PA4 Alarm Package contains all components

necessary to install a complete system. The items

included in your Package are shown opposite. The

main components are as follows:-

ALARM CONTROL PANELThe Control Panel is the heart of the intruder alarm

system and contains the microprocessor and electronic

circuitry necessary to monitor the various detection

circuits (Zones) and to initiate an alarm condition in the

event of an intrusion into a protected area.

The complete system operates at 12 Volts powered

from the plug-in mains adaptor. In the event of a

mains failure, the system will operate from the

optional Back-up Batteries if these have been fitted.

The Control Panel is operated via the push buttons on the

front of the Control Panel allowing the user to ARM/

DISARM the system, Omit Zones, view the Event Log,

Test the system or Program the various system functions.

A four digit User Access Code ensures that only

authorised users can operate the system. The Control

Panel also contains a small speaker used to indicate

various conditions by means of a variety of tones.

The Control Panel incorporates a ‘Non Volatile Memory’,

(NVM) which records all program settings indefinitely

even when all power has been removed.

The Control Panel will also remember which mode it was

in when power was disconnected and revert to this

mode when power is restored, e.g. if the panel was in

Alarm Mode when the power was removed, the panel will

continue to be in Alarm Mode when power is restored.

All detectors and alarm circuits are wired from the

Control Panel and operate at 12 Volts dc.

PASSIVE INFRA RED MOVEMENTDETECTORSPassive Infra Red (PIR) detectors are designed to

detect movement in a protected area by detecting

changes in infra red radiation levels within its field of

vision. If movement is detected the PIR detector will

generating an alarm signal at the Control Panel, (if

the system is armed). PIR detectors will also detect

animals, so ensure that pets are not permitted

access to areas fitted with PIR Movement Detectors

when the system is armed.

Additional Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors

can be purchased separately, if required.

MAGNETIC CONTACT DETECTORSEach Magnetic Contact Detector comprises two parts;

a Magnetic Contact Switch and a Magnet. They are

designed to be fitted to either doors or windows with

the Magnet fixed to the moving/opening part and the

Contact Switch fixed to the door or window frame.

When the protected door or window is closed, the

Contact Switch is held closed by the magnetic field

from the Magnet. Opening the protected door or

window will remove the magnetic field and allow the

contact switch to open generating an alarm signal at

the Control Panel, (if the system is armed).

Additional Magnetic Contacts can be purchased

separately, if required.

EXTERNAL SIRENThe External Siren enclosure houses the Siren, which

when assembled, installed and wired to the Control

Panel will activate in the event of an intrusion with the

system armed. In the event of the cable to the Siren

Unit being deliberately cut an alarm will be generated

at the control panel, provided that the tamper circuit

to the Siren has been connected.

INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

2 PA4 Alarm

SYSTEM OPERATION AFTER POWER FAILUREIf a power failure occurs while the system is

armed and backup batteries are not fitted (or flat)

then when power is restored the system will be in

its previously armed state. If there are any PIR

detectors wired to any active zone then an alarm

will initially occur. The siren will sound for the set

alarm duration after the 3-4 minutes required for

the PIR detectors to stabilise.

This is because the PIR detectors require a period

of 3-4 minutes to stabilise before they operate

correctly and during this period they effectively

generate an alarm signal to the Control Panel.

Note: Although optional, it is strongly recommended

that backup batteries are fitted.

SYSTEM FEATURES

USER FUNCTIONS

ARM/DISARMThe system has an easy arming facility. To fully arm

the system simply press the button or to partially

arm the system, omitting preselected Zones; press

the button. Then press .

QUICK SETThe final arming of the system can be quicker. This is

useful for night setting when the Entry/Exit sounder

can be silenced after just a few seconds.

EVENT LOGThe Control Panel incorporates an Event Log memory

capable of storing the last 4 alarm events. The Event

Log replay will enable the user to establish which

Zones have been activated if an alarm has occurred.

HOME AND ZONE OMIT

The button is used if you are remaining on the

premises and require to arm the system while omitting

pre-selected Zones.

The button enables you to omit any Zone

combination you require on a once only or temporary

basis.

Note: The Entry/Exit Zone cannot be omitted.

RESETPressing the button clears any previously entered

information at the keypad, e.g. incorrect buttons

pressed and also clears Fault Lights, and resets the

system after an alarm.

INSTALLER FUNCTIONS

PROGRAMMINGWhen a valid installer code has been entered, access to

programming the various system options will be permitted.

ZONESThe Control Panel incorporates four detection Zones

for the connection of the system detectors. Zone 1 is

intended for exclusive connection to the detector(s)

which are located on the Entry/Exit route and will

operate the Entry/Exit timers and associated tones.

The Magnetic Contacts on the front door would

normally be connected to Zone 1.

Other Detectors can be connected to Zones 2, 3 and

4 to protect the remaining areas within the property, as

required.

24 HOUR TAMPER CIRCUITMany system components incorporate tamper

protection facilities and the associated wiring can be

monitored on a 24 hour basis to generate an alarm

condition if the equipment or wiring is interfered with.

It is recommended that all system components with

tamper facilities are monitored for tamper.

SIREN ANTI TAMPER MONITORINGWiring to the External Siren is monitored on a 24 hour

basis. In the event of the wiring to the External Siren

being damaged or deliberately cut, an alarm will be

initiated at the Control Panel.

PROGRAMMABLE ZONE OPTIONS

ENTRY/EXITZone 1 is programmed as Entry/Exit to allow the user

a preselected (adjustable) time delay to exit and enter

the premises without creating an alarm. During the

Entry/Exit procedures, a low audible warning tone will

be emitted from the Control Panel speaker. Normally

the front door of the property would be the Entry/Exit

route and would be connected to Zone 1.

WALK THROUGH ZONEZone 2 is programmed for a detector which is fitted

between the Entry/Exit door and the Control Panel,

e.g. in the downstairs hallway. When the Entry/Exit

door is opened and the entry procedure begins, the

‘Walk Through Zone’ is inhibited for the duration of the

entry time, allowing the system to be disarmed without

creating an alarm. However, if the ‘Walk Through

Zone’ is violated before the entry procedure is

initiated, a full alarm will instantly occur.

Note 1: It is advisable to change Zone 2 to an ‘Instant’

Zone if this facility is not required.

Note 2: Zone(s) selected as ‘Walk Through’, cannot

also be selected to operate on the ‘HOME’ feature.

GENERAL SYSTEM PROGRAMMABLEOPTIONS

ENTRY TIMEThis is the time programmed to allow the user to

reach the Control Panel to disarm the system before

an alarm occurs. The Entry Time may be set between

01 - 99 seconds, depending on your own requirements.

The default Entry Time is 30 seconds. If the system is

not disarmed during the Entry delay period, a full

alarm will occur when the Entry time expires.

EXIT TIMEThis is the time programmed to allow the user to

exit the premises before the system finally arms. The

default Exit Time is 30 seconds however, this time

may be set between 01 - 99 seconds, depending

on your requirements. You will need to leave all

protected areas and close protected doors/windows

before the Exit time expires or a full alarm condition

will occur.

Note: If a Zone is open when the system is armed

the Control Panel will emit a series of beeps

(different to the Entry/Exit tone) to indicate which

Zone is open, (i.e. 1 beep = Zone 1 open). It is not

possible to Arm the system until the Zone is clear or

omitted before arming.

ZONE OMITIt is possible to pre-program a section of Zones for

regular Zone omitting ie: night setting where ground

floor Zones are armed whilst first floor Zones are

omitted. Once programmed, the use of the

button will Arm the system omitting the selected Zones.

It is also possible to omit a specified Zone(s) different

to the ‘Home’ setting on a once only/temporary basis

using the button.

ALARM DURATIONThis is the time that the External Siren will sound for

following an alarm activation. The program Alarm

Duration time is 20 minutes, however this can be set

to between 01 - 20 minutes, depending on individual

requirements.

Note: Most Local Authority noise pollution requirements

set limits acceptable for alarm duration. You should

therefore check your Local Authority requirements.

SYSTEM RESET (RETURN ALL OPTIONS TOFACTORY SETTINGS)If the User/Installer Access Codes have been lost or

forgotten, or the installer is unsure of the programmed

options, it is possible to return the Control Panel

program to the factory default settings. All previously

programmed options will be cleared and the system

will require to be re-programmed to the user’s

requirements.

USER ACCESS CODETo Arm and Disarm the system and perform other

functions, the user must enter a unique 4-digit User

Access Code at the Control Panel keypad. The

default User Access Code is but

this should be changed to your own unique code

which only you and other system users know, once

installation is complete.

INSTALLER ACCESS CODETo allow programming of the system options, a unique

Installer Access Code must be entered at the Control

Panel keypad. If the user is installing the system, you

may choose your own code. However, if the system

has been installed for you by an approved installer, the

installation code may not be available. The factory

default Installer Access Code is but

this should be changed when the programming has

been completed.

KEYPAD SECURITYThe Control Panel is protected from unauthorised

disarming by means of initiating an alarm if more

than 4 incorrect attempts to enter the User Access

Code are made. In addition, if any button is pressed

when the system is armed, the Entry timer will start.

GENERALBefore attempting to install any wiring or system

components, it is recommended that a plan of the

proposed installation is prepared. This should help the

installation to be completed using the most unobtrusive

and effective methods. The following guidelines should

be followed and used in conjunction with the example

provided when preparing your own system plan.

LOCATING THE CONTROL PANELThe Control Panel should be located out of obvious

sight of potential intruders and in a safe location, but

easily accessible for system operation.

Typically, the Control Panel may be located close to the

main entry door or in a small cupboard under the stairs

(or similar) close to a mains socket. An ideal mounting

height would be the same as a household light switch

or similar. If small children are in the household, a

further consideration should be given to keeping the

Panel out of reach.

Also consider the user’s ability to hear the Entry/Exit

Tone emitted by the Control Panel effectively when

setting the system. It is preferable that the Exit Tone

can be heard from outside the property when arming

the system.

The final position of the Control Panel will depend on

the individual user requirements.

Note: If using the Home Arm feature the Control Panel

must not be located within an area protected by a PIR

Movement detector unless this detector is not

activated during Home Arm.

DETECTOR WIRINGWhere only one detector per Zone is to be connected,

the cable should be run directly to the detector.

However, if more than one detector is to be connected

to a Zone, either (a) run all cables back to the Control

Panel or (b) run one cable to the Control Panel and link

the detector contacts in ‘SERIES’ and power supplies

in ‘PARALLEL’, (refer to example installation wiring

diagrams on pages 15-16).

MAGNETIC CONTACT DETECTORSThe Magnetic Contact Detectors are suitable for

mounting in dry interior locations only.

Decide which doors and windows are to be protected by

fitting the Magnetic Contact Detectors. Normally the

front and back doors will have Magnetic Contact

Detectors fitted. Additional detectors may be fitted

where required to other more vulnerable doors or

windows, e.g. garage, patio and conservatory doors etc.

Note: It is not recommended to connect more than

four Magnetic Contacts to one Zone, as this may

cause difficulty in wiring and hinder any attempt to

remedy wiring faults efficiently.

PIR MOVEMENT DETECTORSThe PIR Detectors are suitable for mounting in dry

interior locations only.

When considering and deciding upon the mounting

position for the detector the following points should be

considered to ensure trouble free operation:

1. Ideally the detector should be positioned in a corner

of the room to be protected where the logical path

of an intruder would cut across the fan detection

pattern of the device. PIR detectors respond more

effectively to movement across the device than to

movement directly towards it.

2. Do not position the detector facing a window or

where it is exposed to direct sunlight. PIR detectors

are not suitable for use in conservatories.

3. Do not position the detector where it is exposed to

draughts.

4. Do not position the detector directly above a heat

source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).

5. Do not position the detector in a position where it is

subject to excessive vibration.

Note: When the system is armed, household pets

should not be allowed into an area protected by a PIR

as their movement would trigger the PIR and activate

the alarm. Alternatively a PIR protected Zone may be

'Omitted' to allow for pet movement.

EXTERNAL SIRENThe external housing should be located as high as

possible in a prominent position so that it can be

easily seen and heard. When running the cable to the

siren, the cable should pass through a hole in the

external wall and enter through the rear of the casing.

Surface wiring to the External Siren is not recommended

unless it is mechanically protected, e.g. in steel tubing

or equivalent. However, if surface wiring is unavoidable,

the 24 hour monitoring will activate the Control Panel

sounder if damage occurs. However, if the system is

armed at the time a full alarm will occur.

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONSIf the system is to be armed at night ie. (Zones

omitted) while the occupants remain in the household,

make sure that any detectors which are to be omitted

are wired exclusively to those Zone(s).

(Remember that a ‘Walk Through Zone’ cannot also

be selected on the ‘Home’ setting). Pay particular

attention to the most vulnerable points of entry to

your property, which are the doors and windows to

the side and rear of the property.

Plan your cable runs for ease of installation and

neatness of final appearance, allowing for concealing

cables where necessary.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLEThe following example shows typical floor plans for a two

storey domestic property incorporating the suggested

positions for the Control Panel, External Siren and

Detectors, for optimum security. Use this as a guide for

your installation in conjunction with the recommendations

for planning your intruder alarm system.

In this example, the front door is the Entry/Exit route to

the property and is connected to Zone 1.

The side door is also fitted with a Magnetic Contact

and is connected to Zone 2.

The Living Room and Dining Room are fitted with PIR

Movement Detectors detecting entry into the rooms

from any angle and are connected to Zone 3.

An additional PIR has been fitted on the upstairs

landing. The upstairs PIR Movement Detector will

detect entry into the first floor and is connected to

Zone 4 (This is the Zone which will be intentionally

omitted when the system is armed at night).

Choose a suitable position to locate the Control Panel

as described in ‘Planning The Installation’.

Note: The Control Panel should be mounted on an

even flat surface to prevent the possibility of distortion

to the Control Panel casing.

1. There is no need to completely remove the front

cover screws, simply loosen the screws, then hinge

open and lift the cover from the top lip and place

safely to one side.

2. Hold the Control Panel in position and mark the

location of the three mounting holes on the wall. A

small spirit level placed on the casing will ensure a

perfect level.

Note the position of the cable entries that you may

require before fixing the Control Panel. The final

use of cable entries will depend on the individual

installation requirements.

3. Remove the Control Panel, drill 3 x 6mm holes and

insert the 30mm plastic wall plugs supplied. Using

the 30mm No.8 screws fix the Control Panel loosely

onto the two slotted holes at the top. The top

screws may be tightened and the remaining bottom

screw inserted when the installation is complete.

Important: Do not drill the fixing holes with the

Control Panel in position, as the resulting dust could

seriously affect the system electronics and invalidate

the guarantee.

TESTING THE CONTROL PANELThe Control Panel is factory fitted with small wire links

inserted to the Zone and 24Hr Tamper connections.

These can be removed, then replaced when testing

the Control Panel to simulate a detector switch

opening and closing.

Note: If the front cover tamper switch is not bypassed,

the Control Panel will indicate a 24 hour fault, indicated

by the 24 Hr LED and internal sounder activating. To

temporarily bypass the Control Panel Anti Tamper

Switch, connect a short piece of the alarm cable

(approx. 100 mm) between terminals 11 and 21, while

you test the Zones. Leave this wire connected

throughout the installation and whilst you connect the

detectors to the Control Panel.

Should the panel speaker sound during testing,

press followed by to silence

the tone, followed by , then continue.

1. Connect the plug in Mains Adaptor and switch on

the supply.

2. Press then press . The clear LED will

illuminate.

3. Remove the factory fitted link from Zone 1 terminals.

The Zone 1 LED will flash and the internal speaker will

intermittently beep once. Refit the link to extinguish

the Zone 1 LED and silence the tone.

4. Repeat this procedure for Zones 2, 3 and 4. The

Control Panel will intermittently beep twice for Zone

2, three times for Zone 3 and four times for Zone 4.

5. To test the 24 Hr Zone, first ensure the temporary

link is removed between the terminals 11 and

21. Make sure you hold down the panel tamper

switch spring, press . Remove the factory

link between terminals 11 and 12 to activate the

internal speaker. Replace the link, then enter

.

Check the 24 Hr Zone LED is illuminated, then

press . Replace the temporary link between

terminals 11 and 21.

6. To end the test sequence, press .

7. The plug in Mains Adaptor must now be

disconnected, but will be re-connected when

testing each detector as it is installed.

WIRING THE DETECTION ZONESIn order to keep wiring consistent and aid

installation/connections, it is recommended that the

following wiring code is adhered to throughout the

installation:-

Red12V +ve supply to each

PIR Movement Detector

Black0V -ve supply to each

PIR Movement Detector

Yellow Normally closed detector contact alarmBlue Zone circuit

Green24 Hr normally closed Tamper CircuitWhite

The power supply to each PIR Movement Detector

should ideally be taken direct from the Control Panel

to each detector, so that a break in the cable only

results in one detector being out of service.

However, the power supply can be taken from one

detector to the next if required, up to a maximum of

four detectors or 50 metres of cable per Zone.

All Zone and Tamper circuit wiring must be wired in a

‘SERIES’ loop from the appropriate terminals in the

Control Panel. Where ‘Series’ connections are made

terminal blocks or insulating tape must be used to

prevent bare wires touching each other.

Surface cabling should be clipped at 1m intervals using

the clips supplied.

Please refer to the appropriate circuit wiring diagrams for

typical wiring arrangements for the detectors supplied.

INSTALLING THE PIRMOVEMENT DETECTORSThe Passive Infra Red (PIR) Movement Detectors

supplied with this kit are suitable for mounting in dry

interior locations only.

It is recommended that the PIR Detector is mounted in

the corner of a room, approximately 2.2m above floor

level. At this height the detector will have a 12m range

with a 90º spread. If required the detector may be

mounted at an 8° angle to tilt downwards and reduce

the detection pattern range.

Before fitting the detector, observe the environmental

considerations as described in ‘Planning The Installation’.

Note: A maximum of 7 PIR Movement Detectors can

be connected to the system in total.

PIR Detection Zone Patterns

MOUNTING THE PIR MOVEMENTDETECTORS

1. Having chosen a suitable position to locate the PIR

Detector, run the required length of 6-core cable

back to the Control Panel. Do not make any

connections at this stage.

2. Slightly loosen the cover retaining screw on the PIR

and remove the cover. Carefully remove the PCB by

un-clipping the PCB retaining clip at the bottom left

of the PCB.

Important: Do not touch the PIR sensor in the

middle of the PCB as any marking may impair the

unit’s performance. If accidentally touched, clean

with a lint-free cloth.

3. The unit can be mounted for the standard 12m

range by using the top two side holes, or tilted down

by 8° using the bottom two side holes. Alternatively,

the unit can be ceiling mounted using the two holes

at the extreme top of the casing. Cable entry cut

outs are provided top and bottom, as required.

4. Carefully cut (or drill) out the required mounting

holes and cable entry. Only remove the minimum

required number of screw or cable holes, to avoid

insects entering the detector and causing false

triggering. Mount the unit using two 18mm No.4

screws and 25mm wall plugs as required, (a 5mm

hole will be required for the wall plugs).

Note: Do not over tighten or use larger headed

screws when mounting the unit, as this may distort

the casing.

WIRING THE PIR MOVEMENTDETECTOR(S)

1. Thread the cable through the entry on the base,

then strip back 5 mm of each core, twist the strand

ends then fold over and wire into the appropriate

terminals on the PIR Movement Detector.

The terminals on the PIR and the wires in the cable

are colour coded. The correct colour coding

should be followed throughout the entire system.

Red +ve power supply to each PIR Movement Detector.

Black 0V power supply to each PIR Movement Detector.

Yellow/Blue Detector normally closed Alarm Contact

Zone circuit.

Green/White 24 Hr normally closed Tamper circuit.

2. Carefully refit the PCB into the casing taking care

not to touch the PIR detector lens.

3. The PIR Detector incorporates an anti false alarm

feature designed to compensate for situations where

the detector may be affected by environmental

changes, (e.g. insects, hot air thermals from

radiators, etc). This feature is called ‘Pulse Count’

and may be selected for 1, 2 or 3 pulse detection.

The factory default and recommended setting is for

2 Pulse detection. However, in cases of extreme

environmental problems, or if unattributable false

alarms are experienced, it may be necessary to set

"Pulse Count" 3.

Note: The higher the ‘Pulse Count’, the more

movement will be necessary before the PIR

detector will trigger the alarm.

Pulse Count jumper link positions

4. Select the required ‘Pulse Count’. Refit the cover and

tighten the retaining screw. The PIR Movement Detector

is now ready to be connected at the Control Panel.

5. Bring the detector cable(s) though the cable entry

slot in the rear of the Control Panel and strip back

5 mm on each core.

6. Ensure that the Mains Adaptor is disconnected

from the Control Panel. Remove the appropriate

wire links, then connect the wires to the terminals

as shown in the diagrams on pages 13 - 15.

7. When the wiring has been completed, connect the

plug in Mains Adaptor. Wait 4 minutes for the

detectors to stabilise. Only the ‘Mains’ LED should

be ‘ON’ at the Control Panel.

Note: If any Zone or 24 Hr LEDs are illuminated,

refer to ‘Fault Finding’.

TESTING THE PIR MOVEMENTDETECTORS AT THE CONTROL PANEL

1. Test the PIR Movement Detectors one at a time.

Important: When testing a PIR Movement Detector,

ensure that no movement occurs in any other area

protected by PIR Movement Detector.

2. Press . The ‘Clear’ LED will illuminate.

Slowly walk across the PIR Movement Detector’s

field of view. As you are detected, the LED on the

PIR Movement detector will illuminate and the

Control Panel will emit a number of beeps

corresponding to the Zone number the detector is

connected to and the relevant Zone LED will flash.

3. When clear of the detector, the beeps will cease

and the Zone and PIR detector LEDs will extinguish.

4. Allow ten seconds for the detector to settle, then

move again to confirm that the PIR detector gives

the desired protection within the area required.

5. Repeat the above test sequence for each PIR

Movement Detector fitted.

6. When all the PIR Movement Detectors have been

tested successfully, press to return to the

Standby Mode.

7. Disconnect the Mains Adaptor before continuing

Decide which doors and windows are to be protected

by Magnetic Contact Detectors, usually the front and

back doors will have Magnetic Contact Switches fitted.

Additional contacts may be fitted where required to

other vulnerable doors or windows, e.g. garage, patio

and conservatory doors etc.

Note: It is not recommended to connect more than 4

Magnetic Contacts in any one zone, as this may cause

difficulty in wiring and hinder any attempt to efficiently

remedy any wiring faults and locate the device that

initiated the alarm.

1. Having chosen a suitable position to locate the

Magnetic Contact, run the required length of 6 core

cable back to the Control Panel.

Alternatively, Magnetic Contact(s) may be wired in

series with each other and terminated appropriately.

However, working space within the Magnetic Contact

is limited and more than two or three termination's

may prove difficult.

Do not make any connections at this stage.

2. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the window or

door (on the opening edge opposite the hinge) and

make sure that the parallel gap to where the Contact

Switch is fitted on the frame is no more than 9mm.

Typical position of contact fitted to door

WIRING THE MAGNETIC CONTACTS1. Remove one of the cable entry cut-outs on the

Contact Switch and thread the cable through the

entry into the Contact Switch housing.

2. Carefully remove the outer sheath of the cable and then

strip 5mm of insulation from the Yellow and Blue wires.

Connect the Yellow and Blue wires to the Contact

Switch terminals as shown.

3. Strip off 5 mm of the insulation from the Green and

White wires and connect together using a spare

terminal in the contact housing.

Note: If the spare contact terminals are not present in

the contact then the ends of the wires should be

securely twisted (or soldered) together and insulated.

If connecting multiple contacts the Tamper circuit

wiring should be continued in a series loop in a

similar way to the zone wiring.

The remaining wires should be trimmed back and

insulated to prevent short circuits and then tucked

away in the Contact Switch housing.

4. Fix the Contact Switch to the fixed part of the door/

window frame immediately beside and parallel to the

Magnet using two 25mm Counter-sunk fixing screws.

Ensure that the parallel gap between the Magnet and

Contact Switch positions is no greater than 9mm.

5. Bring the contact cable(s) through the cable entry

slot in the rear of the Control Panel and strip back

5mm of each core and twist the strand ends.

TESTING MAGNETIC CONTACTS ATTHE CONTROL PANEL1. First, ensure that all doors and windows fitted with

Magnetic Contacts are closed.

2. Press and the ‘Clear’ LED will illuminate

Note: At this stage, if any Magnetic Contacts are

open or PIR Movement Detectors are activated,

the relevant Zone LED(s) will be illuminated and

the panel will beep, The number of beeps will

indicate which Zone is open. You should ensure

that no movement occurs in areas fitted with PIR

Movement Detectors, as this may cause

confusion during the test sequence. If walking

past a PIR Movement Detector is unavoidable,

allow 10 seconds at the Control Panel for the PIR

Movement Detector to settle.

3. Open the first contact, the Control Panel will emit a

number of beeps corresponding to the Zone

number the detector is connected to and the

relevant Zone LED will flash.

Close the contact to silence the beeps and

extinguish the LED.

4. Repeat the test sequence for all Magnetic

Contacts fitted.

5. When the Magnetic Contacts have been tested

successfully, press to return to the Standby

Mode.

6. Now disconnect the Mains Adaptor before

continuing with the installation.

INSTALLING THEEXTERNAL SIRENThe External Siren should be fitted to the outside of

the building in a prominent position that is clearly

visible and at a height that is relatively inaccessible

to an intruder.

Consideration should also be given to the cable

route to the siren, with the cable preferably passing

directly through the external wall into the back of

the siren housing.

FITTING THE EXTERNAL SIREN UNIT

IMPORTANT: If ladders are required to reach the

mounting position of the Siren they should be

positioned on a firm stable surface at the correct

angle and suitably secured before use.

1. Undo the two front cover retaining screws and

remove the front cover by sliding up and away

from the backplate.

2. Fix the siren mounting bracket to the backplate

using the M3 screws, nuts and washers supplied.

3. Run the required length of cable from the Control

Panel to the External Siren position. Drill a

suitable hole through the wall so that the cable

enters through the rear of the housing without

showing on the outside of the property.

CONNECTING THECONTROL PANEL MAINSADAPTOR AND OPTIONALBACK-UP BATTERIES

1. Connect the Mains Adaptor to the plug in

connector in the Control Panel.

2. Plug the adaptor into a 13A socket and switch ON.

The mains LED will illuminate when the Control

Panel is powered from the mains.

(It is normal for the Mains Adaptor to appear warm

to the touch when in use).

Note: Ensure that the adaptor will not be removed

from the socket or accidently switched off, when

the system is in use.

Optional Back-up Batteries

The Control Panel has the facility to connect

Optional Back-up Batteries which will power the

system for up to 4 hours in the event of a mains

failure. Fit 2 x 9 volt PP3 Alkaline Batteries

(not supplied) to the battery connectors in the

Control Panel housing.

Note: The Back-up Batteries are NOT recharged

upon restoration of the mains supply and should be

replaced after any mains failure. The batteries

should also be changed every year to prevent

leakage and possible damage to the Control Panel.

PROGRAMMINGGENERALProgramming of the Control Panel options is divided

into two distinct categories, User Programming and

Installer Programming. User programming is used

when the system is fully operational, whilst Installer

Programming is only carried out when the system is

new or when subsequent changes are required.

Access to either programming mode requires a valid

User or Installer Access Code to be entered. The more

complex and infrequently required programmable

options are available in Installer Programming Mode

only. This prevents the major system functions from

being accidentally changed by a general User.

The Control Panel has most of the options factory

pre-set at the most common settings, please

consider whether you really need to change them

before re-programming.

Programmable options accessed via Installer

Programming Mode are;

a) Selecting Walk Through Zone(s)

b) Entry Time Adjustment

c) Exit Time Adjustment

d) Selecting ‘Home’ Zones (Part Setting)

e) Alarm Duration

f) Select User Access Code arming

g) Change Installer Access Code

h) Reset System Defaults

Programmable options accessed via User

Programming Mode are;

Change User Access Code

Note: The User Access code can only be changed

if the "Code Arming" feature is disabled.

INSTALLERPROGRAMMING MODEBefore changing any installer programmable options,

the Control Panel must be set to Installer Programming

Mode. This is shown by the ‘Clear’ LED flashing.

Enter the default or current Installer Acess Code.

The ‘Clear’ LED will flash to indicate that the system is

now in the Installer Programming Mode.

Once programming is complete press to return

to Standby Mode.

Note: When selecting options, the system will allow

30 seconds to make a selection. If this time is exceeded,

the Control Panel will exit the function and revert to

Installer Programming Mode and the option button will

have to be pressed again. Once a selection is made the

system will allow 10 seconds for a valid key to be

pressed. If this time is exceeded the system will return

to the top level of the installer mode and the selection

will have to be made again.

Before starting programming any feature read all the

steps first.

CHANGING THE INSTALLER ACCESS CODE

Factory default Setting: 9 9 9 9

To maintain the security of your system the Installer

Access code should be changed from the factory

default to your own unique 4-digit code. The Installer

Access code must not be the same as the User

Access code. Make a note of the new Installer Access

Code in the Alarm Record section.

To change the setting proceed as follows:

With the Control Panel already in the Installer

programming Mode (‘Clear’ LED flashing),

Press .

The 4 Zone LEDs will illuminate.

Enter the new 4-digit Installer Access code

As each digit is entered, a Zone LED will extinguish in

sequence.
