GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MiniAlarm Plus is designed to alert you by telephone if an intruder is
detected by the included motion sensor. The product consists of three
components:
1) The Dialer – This component connects to your existing telephone line to
make continuous phone calls every 15 minutes (or 2 hours) if an alarm condition
exists.
2) The PIR Motion Sensor – This component is what actually detects motion
and sounds a 130 decibel alarm. The Motion Sensor is connected to the Dialer
via a 25 foot (7.6m) wire. This wire can easily be extended up to 1,000 feet
(304m). You can add additional wired motion sensors to cover multiple
locations within a home, cabin or business.
3) The Remote Control – This component allows you to easily arm and disarm
the alarm with a touch of the button. You may purchase additional remotes to
use with one unit.
FEATURES
•

the wired motion sensor. The MiniAlarm can call any telephone number
including a cell phone, calling card number, or international number.

Plays a pre-recorded voice alarm message in English. The message is “This
is your mini alarm security system. There is an alarm condition at your
monitored location. Please check conditions at your monitored location.”

recorded on an answering machine or voice mail if desired.

INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING
IMPORTANT
•
Read the warranty information on page 14 and the FCC statement on page
13
before using this product.
•
The performance of local and long distance telephone lines vary from
location to location and may affect operation of the MiniAlarm. Therefore,
it is important that the MiniAlarm be fully tested after installation to
confirm telephone compatibility. Please see the Testing your MiniAlarm
on page 6 for further instructions.
•
Caution - To ensure proper operation, this equipment must be installed
according to the enclosed installation instructions. To verify that the
equipment is operating properly and can successfully report an alarm, this
equipment must be tested immediately after installation, and periodically
thereafter, according to the enclosed test instructions.
•
Caution – This equipment cannot report an alarm when other equipment
(telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the
same phone line is in use.
•
Important – Do not program emergency phone numbers for the police, fire
or other emergency personnel or departments unless you have specific
approval from such agencies. This model of MiniAlarm does not identify
the location that is calling and therefore cannot provide an audible
notification of what address this phone call originated from.
