Zone Settings

Refer to the chart below for the 2 zone operation modes. The unit is currently set at Default Zone Setting Mode.

Zone Setting

Change between Default Zone and All Alert Zone Mode:

1. Power up the Main Console.
2. Press and hold the "Learn" and "Mute" button simultaneously for 5 seconds, until you hear the beep.
3. If you hear one beep, you are in "All Alert Zone Setting" and if you hear 2 beeps, you are in "Default Zone Setting".
4. Release both button.

Repeat the above steps to change between 2 operation modes.

Sensor Failure/Battery Indication

If the signal is lost between the sensor and the Main Console, or if the battery in the sensor is low, the zone LED light will start blinking fast.

Take the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check if the sensor is located where it should be, and whether there is any physical damage to the sensor.
2. If the failed sensor is not physically damaged, try to activate the sensor and see if the Main Console reacts to the activation.
3. If not, try to remove the sensor from its location, and bring it closer to Main Console and then activate the sensor. It is possible that the sensor is installed too far from the Main Console and it cannot establish a steady communication with the Main Console. If this is the case, please install the sensor closer to the Main Console.
4. Replace the battery of the sensor in that zone if the Main Console does not respond even when the sensor is near the Main Console.

NOTE: If you have multiple sensors in a zone, you may test the function of each sensor to identify which sensor is having a problem.
