Battery Information
Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors
Battery Replacement
If any if the Console's zone indicators flash slowly, the Motion Detector or Door/Window
Sensor for that zone has not reported in during the last four hours. This is most likely
caused by a dead battery.
As with the remotes, as long as the batteries have not completely failed they may be
replaced with fresh batteries without the need to reinstall the sensor. After removing the
old batteries fresh batteries must be fitted within 30 seconds to ensure that the security
code is retained.
Testing the Door/Window Sensor
Once the batteries have been replaced, the Door/Window Sensor should be tested as
follows:
• Set the slide switch on the Security Console to RUN2.
• Open the door or window with the sensor attached. The console chimes to
acknowledge and the zone LED lights.
Testing the Motion Sensor
To test the Motion Detector:
• Set the slide switch on the Security Console to RUN1 or RUN2.
• Press the TEST button on the back of the Motion Detector. The Console's zone
indicator for the Motion Detector blinks on to acknowledge.
Clearing Remotes & Sensors from the Console
If you suspect that a neighboring system is causing false alarms, or if you need to
reinstall remotes, Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors for any other reason, you
can clear all sensors and remotes from the console's memory by unplugging it and
removing the battery.
Note: You will need to reprogram telephone numbers and recorded message after doing
this.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
If the system does not arm.
If a zone indicator flashes slowly.
If a zone indicator flashes rapidly.
SOLUTION
• Check that the Console's slide switch
is set to RUN1 or RUN2.
• Check that the battery indicator on the
Remote turns on when you press
ARM. Replace the battery and
reinstall the Remote if necessary.
One of the sensors/motion detectors has
not reported in, in the last 4 hours.
Check that the battery in the sensor/
motion detector is good.
If you need to arm the system and want
to ignore a sensor/motion detector which
is not functioning:
1. Press ARM on the Remote control.
You hear a repetitive trouble alarm to
alert you that there is a problem.
2. While the trouble alarm is sounding,
press BYPASS on the Console. The
zone indicator flashes rapidly.
Then press ARM on the Remote. The
problem zone is not protected but all
other zones are armed.
Note: if you bypass an open window and
arm the system (as described above)
and later close the window, that zone will
now arm and its zone light will stop
flashing.
The BYPASS button was pressed to arm
the system while a sensor/motion
detector was reporting a problem
