Your SecurityGuard has a special inbuilt feature which always
ensures that your optional detection devices 

(PIRs and Reed

Switches)

are operating correctly and sending alarm

messages as they are triggered. 

Your SecurityGuard is constantly monitoring the alarm
messages sent by your PIR and Reed Switch detectors and
expects to receive messages on a regular basis, caused by
your normal day to day activities. Of course SecurityGuard
decides if it will create an alarm from those “alarm” messages
depending on whether it is Armed or not.   

However if SecurityGuard does not receive an alarm message
from each one of the your additional detectors on a regular
basis, SecurityGuard will warn you when you Disarm by
sounding a series of double beeps for 3 seconds and flash the
number

of the suspect detector along with                 on it’s

display for 5 minutes.

( As with all SecurityGuard displays you can cancel the display
before 5 minutes by pressing   OFF  on any Radio Key).

Example

If your PIR number 2 has not regularly alarmed then
SecurityGuard will flash                and beep a series of double
beeps for 3 seconds when you Disarm.

What you Should do

If you receive this warning from a
detector that you know should have
triggered recently, then before you do
anything else you should test the
detector, if it is still not working you
should replace the battery and test the
detector as described in the PIR or

Reed Switch Low Battery sections of this manual.   

If you still have a problem you should contact the service
number you were provided with at the time of installation.

If you receive the Check Detector warning               when
you try to Arm your SecurityGuard then this is a warning that
you have left a window or door open which has a Reed Switch
detector on it. 

SecurityGuard will warn you by flashing                   along with
the detector number and give a series of double beeps
for 3 seconds after you Arm.  

If you receive this warning you should immediately Disarm
your SecurityGuard. The warning is repeated when you
Disarm, so that you can see the display and check the Reed
Switch which caused the warning. Close the window or door
before Re-Arming.

The Radio dialler is an intelligent
standalone dialler which receives it’s
alarm information via radio signal from
your SecurityGuard. The radio dialler
will warn you directly if there is a fault by
sounding a beeper and/or flashing lights
on the front panel,  these are described
below;

Mains 

This light is normally on,  when it is flashing it indicates that you
do not have Mains supply, check that the Power Pack has not
been disconnected  or turned off at the power point. If Mains
remains disconnected for longer than one hour then the dialler
will beep  a periodic warning to alert you.

Low Battery

If this light is flashing then the internal rechargeable battery is
flat,  if mains is plugged in and the problem persists then contact
your Service Centre.
