If the walk test code is not entered, the SafeScout system will
automatically transition back to the disarm state after ten (10) minutes.
For maintenance purposes and to ensure your SafeScout system is
functioning properly it is recommended that a walk test be conducted
once a month.
Motion Detection and Detection Area
The SafeScout system has a sophisticated passive infrared detector to
detect motion. This detector looks for infrared energy emitted by people
and animals. This is the same technology that is used in most high tech
security applications and systems.
The SafeScout system can detect motion in an area as large as 40 feet by
40 feet. For maximum detection, your SafeScout must be mounted at
height between 5 feet and 7.5 feet from the floor. At 4 feet, the detection
area may be reduced to approximately 30 feet by 30 feet, depending on
environmental conditions.
It is important to note that certain environmental conditions
could result in false alarms and/or impaired operation of
your alarm system.
The most common examples are light
dimmers, fluorescent lights, TV or computer CRT displays
and any piece of electrical equipment using a switching
power supply or "clock" oscillator (computers and other
digital devices).
Dial Out with 8 or 9
Some office and hotel telephone systems require you to dial an 8 or 9
prior to calling an outside line. Since your SafeScout system must send

calls out to communicate and send alerts, you must program the system
to allow for this.
To program your SafeScout system to dial an 8 or 9 prior to making
calls, please complete whichever of the following steps is appropriate:
a)
Type “23338*” into the SafeScout monitoring unit keypad to
add an 8 and a two-second pause in front of the number that is
dialed out.
b)
Type “23339*” into the SafeScout monitoring unit keypad to
add a 9 and two-second pause in front of the number that is
dialed out.
To remove the dial out 8 or 9 request, simply type “23330*” into the
SafeScout monitoring unit keypad.
Arming and Disarming Your System
Your SafeScout system may be armed and disarmed using either of the
following two methods:
1.
Enter your passcode on the keypad at the top of the SafeScout
monitoring unit.
2.
Press and hold the Arm or Disarm button on the remote keyfob
for up to 5 seconds.
Keypad Operation
To use the keypad on top of the SafeScout monitoring unit to arm or
disarm your system, simply type your passcode and the # key (for
example: “1,2,3,4,#”). Your passcode will arm a disarmed system or
disarm an armed system.
Keyfob Operation
The remote keyfob allows you to arm or disarm your SafeScout system at
the touch of a button. Most car alarms use the same type of technology.
To operate the Arm or Disarm features on the keyfob, simply press and
hold the Arm or Disarm button for up to five (5) seconds. You will hear
a verbal acknowledgement that the system is arming or is disarmed.
