Pairing your Alert Sensor
The Alert Sensors and Indoor Alarm Receiver in your kit have
already been paired so all you have to do is put batteries in and
your devices are ready to use. If for some reason pairing is lost,
here's how to pair them again:
1. Place the Alert Sensor faced down to avoid triggering it.
2. Press and hold the
Reset
button on the back of the Indoor
Alarm Receiver until all the LED indicators light up. This
resets the receiver. Any other sensors that you have will
need to be assigned to a channel again.
3. Decide which channel (
1
,
2
or
3
) you want to assign your
Alert Sensor to, and then press and hold the desired
Channel
button on the back of the Indoor Alarm Receiver
until the LED indicator for that channel lights up.
4. Within 10 seconds, trigger the Alert Sensor by lifting it up.
The Indoor Alarm Receiver sounds the channel alarm and
flashes the channel LED to confirm successful pairing.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
I keep getting false alarms!
Solution:
• The Alert Sensor uses passive infrared to detect changes
in temperature so check that there are no shifting heat
sources in view of the sensor. This includes the obvious
things, such as moving pets or people, but also things such
as a moving shadow on a hot day (such as the shadow of
a tree blowing in the wind). Sometimes reflected infrared
heat from the sun is enough to trigger the sensor.
• If you’re using the system in an environment with a high
level of radio ‘noise’ (that is, somewhere with multiple
wireless devices in use) then these interfering signals
might be interpreted as the system as alarm signals. This
should, however, be a very rare occurrence.
