Sensor placement

When planning your Alarm System installation consider the most vulnerable areas of
your home such as exit/entry routes - well placed sensors will ensure optimum security
coverage.
The diagram below shows the areas within your home that you would typically want to
protect. Additional miGuard Accessories can be added at any time for maximum
coverage of your home and outbuildings.

Grouping sensors

Each Sensor can be set to a different mode. Four different modes can be selected;
Home Mode, Normal Mode, Single Delay Mode or 24-hour Mode.
IMPORTANT: Determine which Mode each Sensor should be set to prior to
commencing installation.
IMPORTANT: If you change the Mode a Sensor is set to, re-register the Sensor to
the Control Panel.
The diagrams below show the four different Mode Settings that can be set up to each
Sensor.
Inside the Sensor are 3 'bridges', the configuration of the bridges will dictate the Mode
that the Sensor is set to. To change the Mode simply re-position the 'bridges' by lifting
them up and away from the pins and then pushing them down onto the pins in the
relevant position to set the Mode required
Home Mode Normal Mode
Normal Mode: The supplied Door/Window Sensor is by default set to Normal Mode
with bridges set on D0, D1 and D2. When triggered, a Sensor set to Normal Mode will
always activate the alarm if armed.
Home Mode: The supplied PIR Motion Sensor is (by default) set to Home Mode
(D1 and D2). Sensors set to Home Mode will not be active when the alarm system
is Part-armed. Part-arm allows you to arm certain areas but not others. For
example, by setting sensors upstairs to Home Mode, when you Part-arm the
system at night time you and your family can move around upstairs, whilst all
other areas are protected.
