MOUNTING ACCESSORIES

MOUNTING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR TRANSMITTERS

You can install any combination of door/window sensor transmitters (Cat.
No. 49-2585) and motion detectors (Cat. No. 49-2589), in up to 16 zones.

Follow these steps to mount each door/window sensor transmitter.

1.  Set the DELAY switch on the door/window sensor transmitter to MIN to
    protect a window or to MAX to protect a door.

    NOTE:  The MAX setting lets you arm a sensor transmitter with a 60
           second exit delay and a 30-second entry delay (see "Instant/
           Delay Mode", on Faxback Doc. # 19416).  When set to MIN. The
           sensor transmitter immediately triggers the alarm if it is
           triggered after the exit delay.

2.  Select a location for the door/window sensor transmitter.  We recommend
    that you purchase enough sensor transmitters to protect the front and
    back door and any windows that are hidden from view or easily
    accessible (including basement windows).

3.  The supplied sensor transmitter and magnet switch are connected.  If
    the wire is too long, shorten it by cutting it to the length required
    stripping the ends, and reconnect it to the magnetic switch.

4.  Remove the sensor transmitter's batteries and attach it to the wall
    using the supplied screws or double-sided tape (such as Radio Shack
    Cat. No. 64-2361).  Then replace the batteries (if you removed them)
    and close the battery compartment door.

5.  Align the arrows on the switch and magnet, then install the switch and
    magnet using the supplied screws or double-sided tape.

    NOTES:  Do not mount the magnet directly onto a metal surface.  If
            necessary, use a wood or plastic spacer.

            If you mount magnetic switches on metal doors or frames, ensure
            that they are no more than 3/16 of an inch apart.  On wooden
            surfaces, they can be up to 3/8 of an inch apart.

            For sliding doors/windows, it is best to mount the magnet and
            switch so the magnet makes a clean break from the switch when
            the door or window is opened.

6.  Open the door or window.  The light on the sensor transmitter turns on
    each time you open the door or window.

Repeat Steps 1-6 for any additional sensor transmitters you want to install
(in up to 16 zones).

NOTES:  To protect more than one door or window with a single sensor
        transmitter, use NC (Normally Closed)-type magnetic switches and
        loop them in series from one door or window to the next using
        18-gauge wire.  Then connect both ends of the loop to the censor
        transmitter.

        You cannot use NO (Normally Open) magnetic switches with this
        sensor transmitter.

MOUNTING THE MOTION DETECTOR

Motion detectors protect a specific area of your home.  For example, you
might want to protect a stereo system, jewelry box, or wall safe.

The supplied motion detector sees 40 feet with a 90 degree field of view.
Place it within 100 feet of the console.

You can place the motion detector on a countertop or use the included
bracket.  The bracket lets you swivel the motion detector for the best
coverage.

NOTE:  The motion detector senses motion by detecting temperature changes.
       To help prevent false alarms, do not place the motion detector near
       a heating or air conditioning vent.

       Secure the bracket to the detector's bottom using the supplied
       machine screw.  Then secure the bracket to the hinge and adjust the
       detector to be level, then tighten the screw to hold the detector in
       position.

       For the best coverage, place the motion detector at a height of 6
       feet, then position the lens so an intruder walks across its path
       rather than toward it.

       Set the switch on the detector's back to 1 (most sensitive) or 2
       (least sensitive).  When set to 1, the motion detector trips the
       alarm if any movement is detected.  When set to 2, the motion
       detector must detect two movements or continuous movement within a
       short time to trip the alarm.

MAKING A PET ZONE

If you have a pet, you can help reduce the chance the pet will cause a
false alarm by blocking the motion detector's lower zones with the supplied
tape.

To use the tape, place it over the lower zones of the detector's lens.

TESTING THE MOTION DETECTOR

The motion detector includes a special test mode.  Follow these steps to
test the motion detector.

1.  Set the sensitivity switch to 1.

2.  Hold down TEST on the back of the motion detector until the indicator
    flashes twice.

3.  Release TEST and wait about 20 seconds.

4.  Walk past the motion detector.  The indicator lights as you move and
    turns off if you keep still or walk out of the detector's range.

    NOTES:  If the range is low (less than 30 feet), check that the
            detector is horizontal and at least 5 feet from the ground.

            The motion detector automatically switches to normal operation
            after 2 minutes in the test mode.  To switch it back sooner,
            hold TEST down until the indicator flashes twice (about 3
            seconds).

To test the alarm with the motion detector, arm the console and wait about
45 seconds.  Then walk in front of the motion detector and check that the
alarm is triggered.  After the motion detector triggers the alarm, it
automatically locks out for 45 seconds to save battery power.
