STEP 5
Learning the site code
Your SolarGuard bell box needs to learn
which site code to respond to i.e. in order to
respond to
your
remote control and
your
sensors, it needs to learn
your
site code.
This is achieved by following the
code
learning procedure
.
STEP 1
Check that your SolarGuard console is set to
MODE A
and
FUNCTION 1
. These
switches are shown opposite. Press the
START
button once.
STEP 2
Press the button labeled “LEARN”, then
immediately after, press the MODE button on
your hand held remote control.
If you hear two beeps then this step has been
successful - proceed to Step 3. If you don’t
get any response from the SolarGuard, please
repeat this step until you hear two beeps.
STEP 3 - IMPORTANT!
Replace the blue cover and screw firmly
down.
STEP 4
Test the operation of the SolarGuard bell box
by pressing the mode switch on the remote
control. Keep pressing the mode button until
you hear 6 chirps for battery test mode.
1 BEEP = FULL ARM MODE (SET)
3 BEEPS = DISARM MODE (UNSET)
6 CHIRPS = BATTERY TEST MODE

STEP 6
Installing the PIR sensor
What is a PIR sensor?
Your PIR detector is used to detect
movement in a large area such as your living
room, hallway or similar.
PIR is an acronym for Passive Infra Red.
Where should I install the PIR?
You can install the PIR in any area you wish to
protect. We would recommend installing it an
area where entry though windows may be
possible such as a downstairs living room or
hallway. Install it in a top corner of the room,
looking into the centre of the room. Do not
install above a radiator or facing windows.
Is it ‘pet friendly’?
PIR’s detect the movement of warm bodies,
so we recommend using this detector in an
area where large pets are not present whilst
the system is set.
Can I install a PIR in my garage or
conservatory?
PIR’s are sensitive to temperature change so
installing it in a garage/conservatory may
cause false alarms.
How long does the battery last?
In normal operation, the battery will last
between 18 months and 5 years.
STEP 1
Fix the mounting
bracket to the
target wall using
the supplied wall
plugs and screws.
Requires 4mm
drill bit.
STEP 2
Install the
supplied 9V
battery into the
PIR and set the
MODE switch to
the ‘TEST’
position.
STEP 3
Clip both parts of
the PIR casing
together.
STEP 4
Attach the
second part of
the mounting
bracket to the PIR
case by sliding
upward.
STEP 5
Mate both parts
of the bracket
together and
direct the PIR into
the centre of the
room.
ENSURE THAT THE SOLARGUARD
CONSOLE IS SET TO BATTERY
TEST MODE PRIOR TO INSTALLING
THE PIR AND DOOR CONTACTS.
- press mode on your remote control
every 2-3 seconds until you hear 6
chirps from your bell box
