Choice Alert Control Center F.A.Q.’S

Q.

  I am trying to program my security code and I keep 

waiting on the beep. But, nothing happens.  Why?

A.

  There is a short beep that you hear as soon as you 

press the Learn button.  After you hold the Learn button 

for about 3 seconds you will hear a long beep; once the 

long beep sounds you have 15 seconds complete the 

other steps in the process.

Q.

  I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will 

not recognize it. Why?

A. 

 First, make sure that the batteries are new and that 

the battery is inserted into the Sensor according to 

po/-) markings.  Second, make sure that  

you have assigned the Sensor to a Zone. If the Sensor 

LED is flashing rapidly all the time, remove and reinsert 

the battery.

Q.

  I put Sensors on Zone 4 and it will not set off the 

alarm. Why?

A. 

 Zone 4 is a Dedicated Alert Zone and is designed 

to monitor Sensors in this Zone.  It will only issue an 

alert ( LED will flash, continuous beeping will be heard). 

Sensors in Zone 4 will not set off the alarm.  Use Zone 4 

for water Sensors, garage doors, gates, sheds or other 

areas that you want to monitor (i.e. areas that you want 

to be alerted if there is a problem, but do not want the 

alarm to sound).

Q.

  I have trim on my door and I cannot match my 

Sensor to the magnet.  Will this work on my door?

A. 

 The Sensor can be up to ½” apart from the magnet.

Q.

  I erased a Sensor from a Zone and now all of my 

other Sensors in that Zone will not work.  Why?

A.

  The system can only erase entire Zones.  You will 

need to add the other Sensors back in that Zone to the 

Control Center again

Q.

  Why does one of my Zones continually flash?

A. 

 This can be caused by 1 of 2 conditions.  First 

condition, if it is a rapid flash it means a Sensor in the 

Zone has a low battery. If more than one Sensor is in 

a Zone, you will need to test each Sensor by putting 

the unit into test mode (see pg. 11 of manual). It may 

also be that a Sensor is out of range and cannot make 

contact with the Control Center.  If this is the case, you 

may need to move the Control Center closer or use a 

Range Repeater.  The Second condition, if it is a slow 

flash, one of the Sensors is triggered.  Check all Sensors 

to ensure the Sensors in the Zone are reset (i.e. close 

door, window, etc).

Q.

  If one Sensor has a low battery, should I replace all 

of the batteries?

A. 

 If Sensors were added at the same time,  

chances power are good all the batteries will need  

to be replaced. 

Q. 

 How do I know if any Sensors have low batteries?

A. 

 The Control Center will indicate if any Sensor does 

not have sufficient power to transmit a status signal 

(battery is low).  You can also check each Sensor 

independently by using the Test Mode  

(see pg.11 in manual).
