Pairing the door contact alarm with another 

unit from the range

The standalone alarm range has been designed specifically 
to operate as single units or be paired together to work as 
kits.
Up to 3 of the master units – those that have sensors as 
well  as  sirens  –  can  be  paired  together.    The  number  of 
slave  units  –  those  that  do  not  have  sensors  –  that  will 
work together is limitless. 

This door contact alarm is a 

master unit.

 

Each master unit has a unique radio code, which can be sent 
to any other unit in order to make them work together.  

The procedure for doing this is as follows:

1.

  Starting with any master unit which you want to be  

    the main  teacher unit for the system

2.

  Enter your PIN code and then press the Yale button  

    afterward.

3.

  The LED will flash in the sequence green, orange, red

4.

  The unit is now in ‘sending’ mode for the next 2   

    minutes. The green  
    and orange  

 

    LED will flash every  
    second

5.

  Hold the rear metal  

    contact points of the  
    main unit against the  
    ‘eyebrow’ contact  
    points of the learner  
    unit to which you are  
    pairing

6.

  To confirm the units  

    are paired, the    

 

 

 

 

 

    learner unit will have Red LED on constantly (indicates  
    units in contact) and will beep once afterward. Only  
    release after you hear this beep.

7.

  Repeat this contact for all other learner units you want  

    to pair with the teacher unit

8.

  After the 2 minutes ‘sending mode the main unit will  

    return to disarmed mode.  The red LED will flash 3  
    times to confirm.

9.

  If you wish to exit the learning mode within the 2   

    minute duration, press CLR button twice on  

 

    the teacher unit to exit.

Troubleshooting

The units red LED does not flash when the batteries are installed

Ensure the batteries are connected correctly according to the diagram 

in the battery compartment.

The red light keeps flashing

This is the ‘low battery’ indicator.  Replace the unit’s batteries.

Radio ON/OFF

The radio is default to be always on. It is possible to disable the radio function 

if you are using just a single device in order to conserve power.

To turn ON radio: Enter your 4 digit PIN followed by “2, 1, 1, 1, 1”.

To  turn  OFF  radio:  Enter  your  4  digit  PIN  followed  by  “2,  Yale,  Yale,  Yale, 

Yale”.

Factory reset

If you forget your PIN or the system malfunctions, you can press the reset 

button (locates behind battery cover) to erase all memory. Please ensure the 

device is powered and system is in Disarm mode. After reset you will need to 

set-up your PIN again and pair with other devices (if required).

Battery precautions

When using this product follow these precautions at all times;

•  Use only the appropriate size batteries

•  Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as  

 

  indicated in the battery compartment.  Incorrect polarity may cause  

 

  damage to the unit

•  Do not mix old and new batteries

•  If the alarm is not used for long periods of time, remove the batteries to    

  prevent damage to the unit or injury from possible battery leakage

•  Do not recharge batteries not intended to be recharged. Always   

 

  follow the manufacturers directions

  Please only use alkaline batteries

Wireless range

If using as part of an extended system the range of these parts is a 

minimum of 1 meter, up to a maximum of 25 meters.

 

System activity

Please note, when the red light is on the product is processing, so no 

operation will work (for example, you will not be able to enter your PIN)
