Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction Your Watchguard Home Alarm System is a state-of-the-art wireless security system, specifically designed for simple DIY installation (Do It Yourself). It is suitable for use in homes or offices where the owner wishes an external & internal siren to trigger if there is unauthorized entry into the premises. -
Page 5: The Passive Infrared Detector
1.1. The Passive Infrared Detector The detector is a high quality infrared body movement detector, which is battery operated and communicates with the Watchguard Home Alarm System via radio frequency (RF) transmission. This detector is easy to install, provides excellent detection sensitivity and has a long battery life (approximately 3 years). -
Page 6: What You Get
Power Supply (plug pack) The main unit requires a regular mains power supply. The Watchguard is supplied with a 9V AC plug pack that connects to the main unit. Screamer This high frequency siren generates an intolerable noise to the human ear, and is designed to help repel intruders from within your home. -
Page 7: Installation
2. Installation 2.1. Planning the Installation Each separate component of the Watchguard Home Alarm System should be placed in strategic locations. Below is a guide to where you should place the main unit, the detectors and the screamer. It is important that you take into account that the maximum range without any obstructions between the main unit and each detector is no further than 50 metres. -
Page 8: The Main Unit
2.2. The Main Unit Mount the Watchguard main unit at the front or front side of the building. The mounting position should be under an eave or out of direct contact with rain or other water sources. The position should allow line of sight viewing from both the street (for visual deterrent) and from your main point of entry (for visual confirmation of arming/disarming). -
Page 9: The Screamer
2.3. The Screamer Inside Roof Mounting the Screamer 1. Drill a hole (15mm diameter) into the ceiling where you want to mount the screamer. Pick a position where there is no stud/framework above the ceiling, preferably in a corridor or hallway. 2. -
Page 10: The Power Supply
2.4. The Power Supply Inside Roof Power Supply Mounting 1. Drill a small hole (15mm diameter) into the ceiling where the wire can go through to be connected to the wire from the main unit. 2. Feed the wire through the hole in the ceiling and up to where it will join the wire from the main unit. -
Page 11: Tips For Positioning
Figure 6 2.5.1. Tips for positioning • This detector utilises the very latest in detection processing technology to reduce the possibility of false alarms. However, correct mounting of the detector is critical to ensure best detection or "catch" performance. You cannot just screw the detector directly to a wall up high in a corner and expect best performance. -
Page 12: Powering The Detector
Watchguard Home Alarm System. The receiver can only decode one coded signal at any given time. • If the unit is mounted close to metal frames or doors, this may reduce the radio transmitting range. -
Page 13: Operation
3. Operation 3.0. Master Keyswitch To operate the system, turn the key switch located beside the strobe light, to the on position. To override the system turn the key switch to the off position (you may require this if you are unable to use the remote controls). Use one of the 2 high security keys provided with the system. -
Page 14: Away Mode
3.2. AWAY Mode When to use This mode is used when leaving the building or premise, i.e. AWAY from premises. Arming the system in this mode will activate all detectors. Indications The siren will beep once and the strobe will flash for 2 seconds. There will be a 20 second delay before the system is fully armed. -
Page 15: Panic Mode
3.5. PANIC Mode When to use This mode should be used when the user is distressed or in an emergency situation. What happens The outside siren will sound to alert people in the area but the screamer will not sound. 3.6. -
Page 16: Supervision Reporting
3.7. Supervision Reporting When you arm the system, you will normally hear 1 beep. If the unit continues a sequence of beeping immediately after the arming beep, this means that a supervised detector has failed to report in the last 24 hours. The supervision feature ensures that a user can be confident of the systems operational status –... -
Page 17: Intelligent Power Saving And Normal Operation
The Red Light If the detector is set to 2 pulse counts (most sensitive) then the red light will flash if there are 2 green flashes within 10 seconds. If the detector is set to 3 pulse counts (least sensitive) then the red light will flash if there are 3 green flashes within 10 seconds. -
Page 18: Dual Edge Sensing (Des) Technology 'Explained
3.8.4. Dual Edge Sensing (DES) technology ‘explained’ Figure 9 – side view, detection pattern in optimal temperature environment This detector has Dual Edge Sensing (DES) Technology, developed to eliminate false alarms still provide maximum security. detector uses pattern of infrared beam zones to sense body movement. - Page 19 TOP VIEW Triggering the detector when set to “least sensitive” = infrared beam zone (Default setting) In figure 11, a body moving from position 1 to position 2, into the infrared beam zone, will create a pulse. Moving from position 2 to 3, out of the other side of the same infrared beam zone, will create a second pulse.

Page 20: The Tamper Switch
Triggering the detector when set to “most sensitive” In figure 13, a body moving from position 1 to position 2, into the infrared beam zone, will create a pulse. Moving from position 2 to 3, out of the other side of the same infrared beam zone, will create another pulse. -
Page 21: Low Battery Warning
Both red & green lights flash 6 times. If the detector has low battery voltage then the red light will flash an additional 6 times in a row. The detector will send a low battery radio transmission to your Watchguard main unit. The batteries should be replaced immediately. -
Page 22: Programming
4. Programming Ensure that before any programming, each step should be well rehearsed. This will eliminate becoming confused and making mistakes. If at any stage you become lost or forget where you are up to stop and wait for the 3 low toned beeps that tell you that the alarm timed out of programming mode and no changes will be saved. -
Page 23: Adding New Remotes
Your Watchguard Home Alarm System can only store a maximum of SEVEN (7) remotes in its memory. If you learn in an 8th remote, the 1st remote control will be erased. If you loose a remote control, or have one stolen, simply repeat the procedure above with your remaining remotes at least 10 times. -

Page 34: Maintainance
5. Maintenance The complete system should be tested at regular intervals. We suggest testing it once every fortnight or at least once per month. 5.1. The Backup Battery The back up battery charges automatically (when necessary) while the power supply (plug pack) is connected. -
Page 35: The Remote Control
5.2. The Remote Control The batteries in the remote control will need to be replaced every 1 to 3 years, depending on usage. You are able to recognise when the batteries are low from when the range on the remote control reduces. -
Page 36: Cleaning The Pyro Detector
5.3.2. Cleaning the pyro detector The pyro detector must be clean at all times for optimum performance. If the pyro detector appears to have any dust, dirt or fingerprints on it, then it should be cleaned. To clean the pyro, use a soft cotton cloth (not a tissue), which has been dampened with Metholated Spirits (Alcohol). -
Page 37: Warranty
6. Warranty 6.1. Warning Limitations & Warranty While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or any other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example: •... - Page 38 is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliances, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers. • Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out of service.
- Page 39 NOTE: In addition to the warranty conditions, warranty will not be given where a product has been immersed in water under any circumstances, or where damage has been caused by hosing the main unit, without all due care taken by the owner to protect the main unit by covering with some sort of plastic sheeting.
