Keypad remote control accessory
When used as second keypad, it is ideal in
bedrooms or at the top of a stairwell so the
ground floor can be armed when going to
bed for the night. Or, at a side or back door
for alternative entry.
¥ Mount at chest height for ease of use
¥ Designed for indoor use only
¥ Keypad should be accessible from a
protected entry/exit point
¥ Ensure that the keypad is not visible from
the outside of the premises.
Home and away mode planning
The home arming mode allows the premises to
be part armed so that no one can get inside without
warning the occupier, yet the person already inside
the house can move freely without triggering the
alarm. For example the downstairs of a house can
be armed while upstairs can be disarmed allowing
the user to go to bed without causing an alarm.
If this feature is to be used, then it should be
planned now, before installation.
Decide what areas can be occupied when in
home arming mode, the sensors for these areas
should be programmed to home omit; and the
sensors activated on the path to access the control
unit should be to be set to home delay as explained
in Further programming (page 22).
Operating range
All devices must be within 30 metres of the
control unit and must not be mounted on or near
large metal objects. Avoid obvious sources of
electrical interference such as fridges and
microwave ovens.
Tamper switches
When mounting devices ensure that any tamper
switches close fully. On uneven surfaces it may be
necessary to place packing behind the switch for
reliable operation.
Extend the system
Extend the system in the future to increase your
security or as your needs change.
For example, add extra PIR detectors and
extra door/window contacts.
Help button accessory
The help button provides extra protection
for you and your family. When help is needed
the button can activate your alarm immediately
- even when the system is disarmed.
¥ Mount on bedroom wall or by the front door
¥ Not clearly visible to an intruder
¥ Easily accessible
¥ Out of reach of children
Flood detector
¥ Mount flood detector higher than the
detection probes so that it does not get wet
when detecting a flood
¥ Use clip to position probes where water is
likely to be detected, for example the side of
a washing machine or dishwasher
