IMPORTANT - Read Before Installing For your safety and the safety of others, and to ensure that you get the most out of the Wireless Alarm Kit, please read and adhere to these guidelines. • Do not expose any part of the Wireless Alarm System to any sudden shocks (such as being dropped or struck).
The Wireless Alarm System is a convenient, cost-effective and easy to install security system for your home or small business. Combining multiple types of sensors, dual alarm zones and the convenience of wireless technology, Swann’s Wireless Alarm Kit offers flexible solutions for almost any kind of environment.
The Wireless Control Panel The Wireless Control Panel is the heart of the Wireless Alarm System. It is responsible for monitoring the various sensors throughout your home, and for triggering the alarm signal when one of them reports a disturbance. As such, it is the single most important part of the Wireless Alarm System, and (with the possible exception of the remote control) the part of the system that you will use most often.
The Door Sensor The included door sensors are extremely reliable, and will be triggered every time the door on which they are mounted is opened. Of course, they can be used on windows, too, but we’ll keep calling them door sensors for ease of expression! When the two parts of the sensor are extremely close to one another (ideally touching) the sensor is deactivated.
The PIR Sensor PIR Motion Sensor The Passive InfraRed (PIR) sensor will, under typical conditions, detect a human being moving around within approximately thirty feet (about 10m) from the sensor. This is an average value, as the actual detection range is between 16ft/5m and 50ft/15m. As the performance of the sensor is determined primarily by environmental conditions, no guarantees can be offered regarding the detection range.

Placing the PIR Sensors The PIR sensors have an effective range of between 16ft/5m and 50ft/15m depending on the specific conditions of the environment. Typically, the sensor will have a longer range in colder conditions, or in evenly heated environments. The opposite is also true - environments with uneven temperatures (such as part of the area in sunlight and other areas in shade) or consistently high temperatures will lower the effective range of the sensor.

The Remote Control Your Wireless Alarm system comes with a keychain-sized remote control. In many ways, the remote control is the most powerful and important device in your security system – essentially, the electronic key. Treat it like you would any other key - keeping it on your keychain typically helps.
Your Passcode To protect the security and integrity of your alarm system, you’ll need to define a unique passcode. Your passcode must be four (4) digits long – something you’ll remember but not something so obvious that an intruder would be able to guess. Try to avoid the obvious numbers, such as birthdays and anniversaries.
Alarm Zones and Modes Modes: The Wireless Alarm System has two main modes of operation, the Home Mode and Out Mode. These zones do not refer to where the sensors are placed, but where you are at any given time. For example, when you are in your home, you should set the alarm system to “Home”.
Swann offers no guarantee that any third party sensors will be compatible with the Wireless Alarm System. In theory, some analog wireless alarm sensors operating at a frequency of 433MHz may be compatible with the Wireless Alarm System.
Arming and Disarming the System There are two ways to arm the system, using either the Wireless Control Panel or the remote. Arming the system via the remote control is quick, requiring only a couple of buttons be pushed. Arming the system via the Wireless Control Panel is likewise quick and easy, but for security purposes, you’ll need your passcode to gain access to the system.
Batteries Both the door sensors and PIR Motion Sensors have included batteries, as does the remote control. These are necessary for the alarms to be able to transmit an active wireless signal. The functionality of the sensors is reliant on the batteries providing power in much the same way as a smoke detector.
Troubleshooting Problem: I keep getting false alarms! Solution: There are a few possible reasons why this might be occurring. Check that there are no strong magnetic fields around your door sensor(s). Things like televisions, computers, microwaves and (of course) magnets of any kind will interfere with the proper operation of the door sensor and could lead to false alarms.
