IR KEYFOB (KF-1106)
Troubleshooting
Arming and Disarming
Use the red “lock” button to arm
the system, and the green “unlock”
button to disarm the system.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the button pads
are not installed upside down.

Arm
DIP Switches
Check to see if the
alarm’s DIP switches
match by opening the
IR keyfob. Compare
the DIP switch settings
inside the keyfob with
the alarm you are
arming or disarming.
Pictured to the right is
the EnCore.
Note: CR338s do not have to have
matching DIP switch settings in order
for the keyfob to arm and disarm those
systems.
IR Emission
Ensure you hold the keyfob in
the proper orientation.
The IR signal emits from the front
and front underside of the fob.
Point the keyfob at the IR lens on
the product.
Battery Life
Battery life varies depending on keyfob usage. In most use
cases, the keyfob battery (CR2032) can last at least 1 year.
Battery Check
To check if the battery is dead, cup your
hand around the keyfob, or go into a dark
room. Hold down one of the buttons and look
for a strobing red LED through the blue plastic
as shown.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT hold down the buttons
when attempting to arm or disarm. After
holding a button down for 5 seconds, the key
is programmed to stop emitting the IR signal
to avoid draining the battery. You must wait
10 seconds for it to reset.
Range
You must be within 6”-12” of the IR receiver.
