This alarm system is designed to act as a deterrent. It cannot provide complete protection for
your home or business. Like all practical systems, it has limitations and it could be disabled by
a skilled intruder. We suggest that you avoid relying solely on this alarm unit to protect your
property, but use it as part of a comprehensive security solution. You can increase your level
of protection through the use of high-quality locks, stronger doors, guards for your windows
and a security DVR and camera system.
HOW IT WORKS:
The sensor is composed of two separate, equally important parts: the alarm unit itself, and
the trigger. The alarm unit is the larger of the two parts, and is responsible for sounding the
alarm (hence the siren). Inside the transmitter is a magnetically sensitive switch, which is held
in the OFF position by the magnetic trigger.
When the trigger is moved farther than approximately 1/2" (10-15mm) away from the door
sensor, the switch closes to the ON position and the alarm is triggered.
ARMINg AND DISARMINg
The arming/disarming switch is located underneath the battery compartment, just above the
battery slot. There are only two settings, ON and OFF. When the unit is set to ON, the alarm
will sound whenever the two parts of the alarm are separated. When the unit is OFF, the
alarm will not sound under any circumstances.
— To arm the sensor, simply set this switch to
ON.
— To disarm the unit or stop an alarm in progress, set the switch to
OFF.
MOuNTINg
Included are two portions of double-sided tape, one for both the alarm unit and the magnetic
trigger.
1. Remove the plastic cover from one side of the larger piece of double-sided tape, and
apply the tape to the rear side of the alarm unit.
2. Remove the plastic cover from one side of the smaller piece of mounting tape, and apply
to the rear of the magnetic sensor.
3. Clean the surfaces you want to mount the alarm on using cleaning alcohol or similar.
Ensure the surfaces are completely clean and dry before proceeding.
4. Remove the plastic cover from the other side of the double-sided tape, and apply one
part of the alarm to the door/window you want to monitor, and the other part to the
frame. Ensure that when the door/window is shut, the small black arrows on the sensor
and trigger line up. They don’t need to physically touch, but they should be no more that
1/5" (5mm) apart when the door/window is shut for the sensor to work correctly.
