In these cases, just wait a few minutes and try again. All Avara alarm packages come pre-paired. If you buy several loose detectors in addition, only the new ones must be paired into the system.

"key" in the housing). USEFUL TO KNOW ABOUT THE ALARM SYSTEM The Avara alarm system has some underlying characteristics that you usually do not need to think about, but which can provide answers if you observe something you do not expect or understand.
• If someone is inside the motorhome/caravan and you try to test the Night Alarm mode, it will not trigger because the detectors are paused for 3 minutes if someone moves in front of the Main Unit. • The GPS position is updated every 5 minutes when driving and once a day when stationary.

• The system must be fully installed if you want to perform a real functional test. Functional test of the system Night Alarm Turn on the night alarm, go outside and close the door (there must be no one left inside). Wait for at least 3 minutes.

Siren Short the two blank spots on the siren driver that make up the pairing button for 3 sec. A small LED light will light up red and there are three blasts in the siren. The Siren exits test mode by itself as soon as the test is done. Testing in general The above tests show when movement is detected, but it is not the same as if the alarm would have been triggered at the first registration.
AV108 - Modem The modem communicates with the Avara's cloud solution. Alarm messages and notifications can be forwarded several receivers (mobile phone and e-mail). The modem includes a GPS unit for locating the motorhome/caravan.
The integral CO sensor in the Main Unit has a service life of approx. 5 years. It may last longer, but to ensure one of the alarm's most important functions, it should be replaced at service by Avara. This is a general recommendation and applies to all types of gas and smoke alarms, regardless of brand.
NB! Do not flush the exterior detectors with a pressure washer. They are waterproof, but high pressure leads to water ingress which is not a warranty issue. The Avara components must be delivered to approved recycling stations for e-waste at disposal. You can find contact information on www.avara.no...
