3. Operation
3.1 Master key switch on Main Control Unit
The master key switch is located on the Main Control Unit. The master key switch allows you to completely
disable the alarm system, and is used primarily for transportation purposes so as not to flatten the internal back-
up battery unnecessarily. Leaving the switch on without main power connected will cause long-term damage to
the battery cells.
To utilise your Watchguard Digital, turn the key switch to the 'ON' position. Two keys are provided with the kit,
and it is suggested you keep them on each key ring with your remote controls. When you switch on the system,
the LED on the Main Control Unit will flash once every 5 seconds to indicate that the unit is active.
When the unit is turned on for the first time it will automatically enter Walk test mode - unless the cover is on -
which will allow you to test that each device had good signal coverage. To exit walk test mode Arm/Disarm the
alarm or wait 20 minutes and it will exit automatically.
3.2 Exit & Entry Delays
Your Watchguard SMS 2010 is equipped with Entry and Exit Delay Warning capabilities.
3.2.1 Exit Delay
Exit Delay is a 30 second delay before the alarm is actually armed; this delay is to provide the user with
sufficient time to exit the premises. During the Exit Delay the internal screamer of the alarm will chirp at 1-
second intervals.
3.2.2 Entry Delay (For Use With The Optional Wireless Keypad)
The programmable Entry Delay is 30 seconds. The purpose of this function is to allow users to disarm the alarm
system within the delay before the alarm is set-off (triggering the Screamer, Siren/ Strobe and communicating
with you via SMS). The Entry Delay is turned off as standard. For it to be functional, the wireless alarm zones
you would like an entry delay on must be programmed via the optional Wireless Keypad. For information on
how to program Entry Delay on a particular zone please refer to the zone programming section of this manual
on page 33.

This indicator will flash to indicate the current status of the system:
