Beyond the Basics
Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors
If a zone has not reported in to the Console during the last four
hours, the display will show PROBLEM and the appropriate zone
number when you try to arm the system. This is most likely caused
by dead batteries in the Motion Detector or Door/Window Sensor
for that zone. As with the remotes, as long as the batteries have not
completely failed they may be replaced with fresh batteries without
the need to re-register the Motion Detector or Door/Window
Sensor. After removing the old batteries, the new batteries must be
fitted within 30 seconds to ensure that the code is retained.
Testing Your Door/Window Sensor
Once the batteries have been replaced, the Door/Window Sensor
should be tested as follows:
• Make sure the system is NOT armed.
• Open the door or window with the sensor attached. The Console
chimes to acknowledge and the zone # is displayed on the LCD.
• If you don't hear a chime, re-register the Door/Window Sensor.
Testing the Motion Sensor
To test your Motion Detector:
• Make sure the system is armed.
• Press the TEST button on the back of the Motion Detector. Or,
walk past it. If the alarm trips, press disarm on your Keychain
Remote.
• If the alarm doesn't trip, re-register your Motion Detector, as
described on page 11.
Clearing Remotes & Sensors from the
Console
If you suspect that a neighbor's 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 your Security Console's memory. Follow the steps on
page 15.
