TROUBLE SHOOTING - continued
LED on Remote Control not illuminating, or is
dim when unit is operated.
1. Ensure battery is connected with correct polarity.
2. Ensure battery connections are good.
3. Replace battery.
PIR Movement Detector false alarming.
1. Ensure that the detector is not pointing at a
source of heat or a moving object.
2. Ensure that the detector is not mounted above a
radiator or heater.
3. Ensure that the detector is not facing a window
or in direct sunlight.
4. Ensure that the detector is not in a draughty area.
5. Pulse count set too low – reset to two pulse
detection.
PIR Movement Detector not detecting a
person’s movement.
1. Check battery connections are good.
2. Pulse count set too high - reset to one pulse
detection.
3. Check that the detector is correctly set up. (See
PIR Movement Detectors pages 9-11).
4. Ensure DIP switches 1- 4 of SW3 are correctly set.
5. Ensure that detector is mounted the correct way
up, (i.e. with detection window at the bottom).
6. Ensure that the detector is mounted at the
correct height, (i.e. 2-2.5m).
7. Allow up to three minutes for detector to
stabilise.
8. Ensure detector is within effective radio range of
Control Panel and is not mounted close to metal
objects which may interfere with RF transmission.
PIR Movement Detector LED flashes on
detection of movement, (device in normal
operation mode).
1. Low battery - replace battery.
Magnetic Contact Detector not working.
1. Ensure batteries are connected with correct
polarity.
2. Ensure battery connections are good.
3. Ensure ‘House Code’ is correctly set.
4. Ensure DIP switches 9, 10 and 11 are set
correctly.
5. Ensure detector is within effective radio range of
Control Panel and is not mounted close to metal
objects which may interfere with RF transmission.
6. If an additional Magnetic Contact Detector is not
connected ensure jumper link fitted.
7. If additional Magnetic Contact Detector is
connected:
a. Ensure jumper link removed.
b. Check that additional contact is correctly
wired.
c. Ensure that magnet is correctly positioned in
relation to detector and that the gap between
magnet and detector is not too large, (refer to
instruction supplied with external Magnetic
Contact detector).
Note: If an additional contact is used then the
doors/windows protected by both the main
wirefree detector and the additional wired
detector must be closed when either is opened.
If one of the doors/windows is already open then
the opening of the other door/window will not be
detected.
Magnetic Contact Detector false alarming
1. Ensure that magnet is correctly positioned in
relation to detector
2. Ensure that gap between magnet and detector is
less than 10mm.
3. Tamper switch below battery cover not
depressed - check battery cover is fitted correctly
and that fixing lugs are not broken.
