FOREWORD
All devices in this wirefree Alarm System are designed
and manufactured to provide a high standard of
security protection and long, reliable service.
The 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.
No radio operating licence is required for this
equipment.
IMPORTANT:
All devices, with the exception of the
External Solar Siren are suitable for mounting in dry
interior locations only.
DECLARATION
Novar ED&S hereby declares that this wirefree alarm
system is in compliance with the essential requirements
and other relevant provisions of the Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE)
directive, 1999/5/EC.
Tools and Equipment Required:
No.0 Philips Screwdriver
3mm Drill Bit
No.1 Philips Screwdriver

No.2 Philips Screwdriver
Small Spirit Level
5 & 6mm Masonry Drill Bits
Bradawl
DEVICE RANGE
The quoted range of the system devices (see
component specification on page 51) is measured
in ideal conditions. Any solid object (e.g. walls,
ceilings, reinforced PVC doors etc.) placed between
the transmitter and receiver device will reduce the
transmission range of the devices.
The amount by which the range will be reduced is
dependant upon the nature of the barrier. e.g.
Wall Type
Range Reduction
Dry-lined partition wall:
10-30%
Single layer brick wall:
20-40%
Double layer brick wall:
30-70%
Metal panel/radiator:
90-100%
Note:
The effect on the range of multiple walls is
cumulative. e.g. if there are two brick walls in the way,
the range will be reduced by up to 40% by each wall.
SYSTEM SECURITY
This system has been designed to both detect intruders
and act as a strong deterrent to would-be intruders
when installed correctly.
Please remember that given adequate knowledge
and time it is possible to overcome any alarm system
and we therefore recommend that your Alarm is used
in conjunction with good physical protection such as
security window and door locks.
All units in the system are encoded to operate together
using an 8 bit House Code which is configured by the
user/installer to provide the identification code for your
installation. The system House Code can be changed
at any time by the user.
The system is operated from one or more Remote
Control Units and/or the Control Panel. Care should be
taken to ensure that any of your Remote Control Units
are not lost or the User Access Codes for the Control
Panel or System House Code do not become known
to other people as this will compromise the security of
your system. In either event the system House Code
and/or User Access Code should be changed as soon
as possible.
IMPORTANT: All devices in your system must
be set to the same House Code which must be
changed from the factory supplied setting.
SAFETY
Always follow the manufacturers advice when using
power tools; steps, ladders etc. and wear suitable
protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when drilling
holes etc.
Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden
electricity cables and water pipes, the use of a cable/
pipe locater maybe advisable if in doubt.
When using ladders, you must follow the ladder
manufacturers safety instructions.
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.
