Configure the alarm panel

This section will guide you through entering a series of

communicate. The IDS X-Series alarm system caters for a 
range of keypads and they all work slightly different. Please 
follow the instructions relating to your keypad.

 STEP 10

Please do NOT mount the Olarm PRO inside the alarm 

box or near any other radio equipment. This will reduce 
the signal strength and result in your device not 
functioning correctly.

Mount the Olarm PRO

Mount your device using the screws and drill template 
provided. We suggest mounting the Olarm PRO device on a 
wall or on the outside of the alarm panel.
