TROUBLESHOOTING
Any problems after installation can be solved
by reading the following checklist.
• Check that all house code switches in the
Sensors and Control Panel are set the same
(slide and piano style switches).
• Doors and walls may reduce the wireless
range to less than 20 metres. Re-install the
Control Panel in a more central position to
the Sensors. Metal structures will reduce
wireless range.
• Control Panel
Check batteries are new, good quality
alkaline type and installed with the correct
polarity (2 x AA). Check that the AC
adaptor is correctly fitted and switched on.
Check that the personal security code has
been correctly programmed in. Four short
beeps indicates that the code is set
incorrectly or has reverted to the factory
default of ' 11 '. Check the Control Panel
for flat batteries.
• Movement Activated Sensor
Check that the 9V alkaline (good quality)
battery has been installed correctly.
Check that the Movement Activated Sensor
is not more than 20 metres from the
Control Panel. If the Movement Activated
Sensor is mounted near metal objects, it
may have to be relocated. Arm the Control
Panel and walk in front of the Movement
Activated Sensor. The green LED on the
Movement Activated Sensor and the
Control Panel should light momentarily.
After two minutes the unit will again be
ready to sense, reset alarm and test again.
Metal structures will reduce wireless range.
• Window/Door Sensor
Check that the 12V (A23) battery has been
installed correctly. Check that the gap
between parts is not more that 10mm.
Check that the Window/Door Sensor is not
more than 20 metres from the Control
Panel. If the Window/Door Sensor is
mounted near metal objects, it may have
to be relocated. Arm the Control Panel and
open the secured door. The red LED on the
Door sensor & Control Panel should light
momentarily. In case of non-operation, first
replace all batteries.
• External Siren
Check that each of the 4xAA batteries
have been installed correctly. Check the
connector is inserted fully into the Control
Panel marked “EXT. SIREN”. Check cable
for wear or breakage.
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT drop any alarm components.
• DO NOT install the Movement Activated
Sensors close to an internal heating or
cooling source.
• DO NOT install the alarm in a position
where direct sunlight may occur.
• DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in any
alarm components.
• Use Alkaline type batteries only.
• DO NOT mix different types of batteries in
the Control Panel.
• The alarm components must be kept
indoors.
• We recommend alkaline batteries for best
performance and value for money.
• The Movement Activated Sensors will
detect small pets such as dogs or cats, it is
therefore essential that your pets are kept
out of the detection area when the alarm is
activated.
• This alarm system is designed to be a
deterrent, it does not in any way guarantee
protection. It is simply an alarm signal.
• Guarantee excludes any batteries supplied
with the unit.
• Keep these instructions in a secure place in
case further reference to them is required.
Secure-it Max
This security number can be selected by you
and is used to arm and disarm the unit. Enter
your security code as follows.
Enter the factory preset security code ‘11’
then press ‘ * ’. (A single beep will be heard
and the green LED will flash).
While the LED is flashing enter your own
security code (up to four digits) then press
‘ * ’ again. (A musical tune will be heard).
To change your security code, repeat the
above instructions but use your old security
code instead of the factory preset number.
Arm & Disarm
Arm the unit by simply entering your
security code then press the ‘ # ’ button
and a single long beep will be heard. The
green LED will light for approximately 30
seconds (exit delay) to indicate the unit is
armed. While there is movement in front of
the Movement Activated Sensors during this
time, the green LED's on the sensors and red
LED on the Control Panel will light, indicating
the sensors are detecting movement or the
door is opening. Thirty seconds after you arm
the system, the green LED will extinguish and
the system will become fully armed.
As the secured area is entered, the LED's
on the sensors will flash and the Control
Panel will beep once to indicate that you
have 8 seconds in which to disarm the unit.
To disarm, simply re-enter your security
code and press the ‘ # ’ button. The unit
will emit a double beep to indicate that it
is now disarmed.
If the unit is not disarmed within the 8
seconds, the piezo siren will emit a loud
sound and the strobe light will flash to alert
the occupants of the house to an intruder. To
disarm the unit under these circumstances,
simply re-enter your security code and then
press the ‘ # ’ button.
Panic Button
The panic button can be pressed at anytime.
