Page 4: Important - Read Before Installing
IMPORTANT - Read Before Installing For your safety and the safety of others, and to ensure that you get the most out of the Home Wireless Alarm System, 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). -
Page 5: About The Home Wireless Alarm System
Combining multiple types of sensors, multiple alarm zones, two modes of operation and the convenience of wireless technology, Swann’s Home Wireless Alarm System offers fl exible solutions for almost any kind of environment. -
Page 6: The Keypad Alarm Control Unit
The Keypad Alarm Control Unit The Keypad Alarm Control Unit 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 controls) the part of the system that you will use most often. -
Page 7: The Window / Doorway Sensors
The Window/Door Sensor Trigger However, these types of sensors can be circumvented if a window or fragile door were broken rather than opened. Thus, we suggest using the infrared sensors as a backup to the Window/Door Sensors. IMPORTANT: The Window/Door Sensor only works correctly when the trigger is aligned to the right-hand side of the transmitter as pictured above. -
Page 8: The Alarm Pir Motion Sensors
The PIR motion sensor PIR Motion Sensor The Passive InfraRed (PIR) Motion 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. - Page 9 Placing the PIR motion sensors The PIR motion sensors have an effective range of between 16ft/5m and 50ft/15m depending on the specifi c 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.

Page 10: The Keypad Remote Controls
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, it is the electronic key. Treat it like you would any other key - keeping it on your keychain typically helps. -
Page 11: Operating The System
Your Passcode & Alarm Duration To protect the security and integrity of your alarm system, you’ll need to defi ne 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. - Page 12 Alarm Zones and 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”.

Page 13: Pairing Sensors
Swann offers no guarantee that any third party sensors will be compatible with the Wireless Alarm System. In fact, we suggest that they probably will not be. -
Page 14: Arming And Disarming The System
Arming and Disarming the System There are two ways to arm the system, using either the Keypad Alarm Control Unit 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 Keypad Alarm Control Unit is likewise quick and easy, but for security purposes, you’ll need your passcode to gain access to the system. -
Page 15: Batteries
Batteries Both the Window/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. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting
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 fi elds around your Window/Door Sensor(s). Things like televisions, computers, microwaves and (of course) magnets of any kind will interfere with the proper operation of the Window/ Door Sensor and could lead to false alarms. - Page 17 Solution: Yes, provided that they match the specifi cations of the included sensors. Specifi cally, they must communicate using analog wireless transmitters, operating at a frequency of 433MHz. We only guarantee that sensors sold by Swann specifi cally for this alarm system will operate correctly - no guarantee is made or implied regarding third party hardware.
