Resetting the PIR sensor
Keeping your PIR in TEST mode will
dramatically reduce the battery life. Therefor
we recommend you switch your PIR to
NORMAL mode when you have finished
your installation and testing the system. This
will ensure that the batteries last between 18
months and a 5 years depending on usage.
Help! When I switch to NORMAL
mode, the PIR stops working.
A PIR that works in TEST mode, will always
work when switched to NORMAL mode
.
However, please be aware of the following
points:
1)
The red indicator light will not function
in NORMAL mode.
This is correct, and is
designed to increase the battery life.
2)
The PIR will sleep for 4 minutes when
movement has been detected.
Whilst
sleeping, the PIR will NOT detect movement.
After the sleep period the PIR will beginning
detecting again.
3)
The PIR will not function with the cover
removed.
Please ensure that the cover is fully
in place.
Move the mode switch into the
down position - marked NORM.
ENSURE THAT THE SOLARGUARD CONSOLE
IS SET TO BATTERY TEST MODE PRIOR TO
OPENING THE PIR AND DOOR CONTACTS.
- press mode on your remote control every 2-3
seconds until you hear 6 chirps from your bell box

STEP 4
Installing the bell box
Where should I install the bell box?
Ideally, the bell box should be located on a
south facing wall in position where it will
receive a good level of sunlight. If this is not
possible then an east or west facing wall with
good sunlight should be acceptable.
STEP 1
Following the supplied
“MAIN UNIT FIXING
HOLE TEMPLATE”
, drill 3 holes using a
5mm
Masonry bit
. Insert the supplied 3 x Plastic
Wall Plugs into the holes.
STEP 2
Insert the top screw and hang the SolarGuard
bell box on the wall.
STEP 3
Remove the blue cover by removing the
screws located on either side.
STEP 4
Insert the two remaining screws into the
holes on either side of the SolarGuard circuit
board.
STEP 5
Insert the supplied 6V Sealed lead acid
battery and connect battery terminals. Ensure
that red is connected to positive on the
battery, and black is connected to negative
on the battery.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
PLEASE FOLLOW YOUR POWER
TOOLS SAFETY GUIDELINES.
ALWAYS USE AN RCD BREAKER
WITH MAINS POWER TOOLS.
PRO’s TIP!
To avoid false
triggering caused
by the rear tamper
switch not making
good contact with
the wall, place a
piece of lino or
plastic behind the
rear tamper switch
to create a flat
surface flush with
the bell box.
