IntroductionCongratulations with your new CPVan Home Alarm Starter Kit. The CPVan Home Alarm Starter Kit is a versatile alarm system that helps you to detect if people or animals are entering your home or shop. It allows you to use several different detection units and technologies with one or more Alarm units in up to 4 different zones. These detection units (PIR Motion Sensor, Window/Door sensor) are wirelessly connected with an Alarm unit. This Alarm unit can be set to either produce a Chime sound or an alarming and loud Siren. The alarm unit can be placed on a fixed position or taken with you as you move around the house or if you go to sleep.A maximum of 10 sensors can be assigned to each of the 4 zones to a maximum of 40 per Alarm unit. Each sensor can be paired with several Alarm units if required. Also, up to 20 remote controls can be paired with each Alarm unit to enable you to equip each of your family or team members with a remote control.Important: Extending your CPVan Home Alarm Starter Kit: Only select devices from the CPVan Home Alarm System. Other devices will not be compatible. Just contact us at info@cpvans.com for advice. We normally respond within 24 hours.

Remote Control

Bell button: triggers aloud emergency alarm

Away button: activate theAlarm unitDisarm: deactivate theAlarm unitSwitch Voice: Switch fromChime to Siren and vice versa

First preparation of the Alarm unit● Insert 2 AAA batteries in the Alarm unit and close the lid. You will hear a beep and the indicator light on the Alarm unit will light up from top to bottom. Your Alarm unit is now active.● Take out the insulating strip in each Door sensor (inside Lithium battery). ● Please note the correct orientation of the batteries (+ /-).

Pressing the buttons● IMPORTANT: There are 2 ways to press the buttons on your Alarm unit.● Short press: press the button for 1 second or less.● Long press: keep the button pressed for 5 seconds.● Usually, the long press of 5 seconds is used to enter a programming or pairing mode. This procedure prevents that important settings are changed accidentally.

Using the Alarm unitThe alarm unit can be operated both through the remote control as well as by pressing the buttons on the side.Switch On: Long press the On/Off Button [ ] to switch the unit on. The lights on the front will light up one by one from top to bottom when the unit is switched on and a beep will be heard. Switch Off: Long press the On/Off Button [ ] to switch the unit off. The lights on the front will dim one by one from bottom to top when switching off. A beep will be heard. Arm/Disarm: Make sure the Alarm unit is switched on. Now, short press the SET button [ ] once. A beep will be heard and the visual indicator will light up once when the unit is armed, and 2 beeps will be heard and the visual indicator will light up twice if the unit is disarmed.IMPORTANT: Your Alarm unit is equipped with a memory function. This means that the Alarm unit will always come back to its last settings when switched on. If it was armed when it was switched off, it will be armed when it is switched On again. However, if it was disarmed when it was switched Off, it will be disarmed when switched On again. In this case, to arm the Alarm unit just short press the SET button [ ] . Change the sound: Make sure the Alarm unit is switched on. Toggle Change the between sounds by short pressing the On/Off Button [ ] . A short confirmation sound will be heard if the sound is changed.Entering the Pairing mode: Make sure the Alarm unit is switched On.Long press the SET button []. All the lights on the front of the Alarm unit are now lit.Select a zone in pairing mode: In Pairing mode, short press the SET button [] to switch between zones modes. See the Chapter “Pairing with sensors and remote controls” for further instructions on how to pair devices with the Alarm unit.

When a sensor is triggered:The sound will be heard, Chime or Siren.If the Siren is selected as a notification sound, the LED lights will indicate which zone triggered the alarm (one of the four LEDs will light up).If the Chime sound was selected as a notification sound, all 4 LEDs will light to indicate a sensor was triggered but the zone will not be indicated.

Using the remote controlThe supplied remote control will work with multiple Alarm units if required. There are four buttons on the remote control:

Installation of a door sensor

GENERAL GUIDELINES:● Do not install the Door/Window sensors on breakable material, but choose instead the frame of a window to attach your Door/Window sensor.● Do not install on instable parts.● Do not install the sensor near magnetic parts that might trigger the alarm by accident.● Clean the surface before installation if the tape will be used for attachment.● It is important that the sensor and the magnet are placed on the door and frame respectively to allow an alarm to be triggered when sensor and magnet are separated.

Pairing with sensors and remote controlThe Alarm unit is already paired with the remote control and the door sensors. Use this procedure to connect more door & window detectors from the CPVan Home Alarm System.

IMPORTANT: Factory setup: The visual indicator on the front of the Alarm unit has 4 LED’s which can be used to see which zone is activated in Siren mode (but not in Chime mode). Please note that one door sensor has been paired with Zone 1 and the other door sensor has been paired to Zone 2 out of the factory as a standard. This will get you started quickly.

IMPORTANT: In the procedure below you will need to activate sensors to pair them with the Alarm unit. A door sensor can be activated by keeping the sensor and magnet against each other and then move them away from each other. A PIR sensor can be activated by waving your hand in front of it.
