Wireless door and window sensor – White

Any orientation will do, provided the distance between the sensor and magnet does not exceed 10mm

No, but we recommends that you mount the sensor (big part) on the fixed frame of the door or window, and the magnet (small part) on the window or door itself.

After the sensor has been installed with the keypad, open that door/window, wait a few seconds, then close again. This should set correctly the 'open/close' status of the door or window at the keypad.

Check to see whether:

1. Are the batteries low or flat? If you have recently replaced the batteries, have you replaced them using the correct battery type and orientation?
2. Is the sensor mounted within operating range of the keypad? You might need to install them closer to the keypad.
3. Is the door made of PVC? PVC doors and windows are often a problem. They have metal reinforcement and this will shield or totally block the transmitted signals.
4. Metal items such as radiators, mirror backing or foil backed plaster board situated between the transmitter (sensor) and the receiver (keypad or siren) can block the signals.
5. Please note that the operating distance of the sensors and other devices is reduced by the materials the wireless signal has to pass through. For example, internal walls may give around 20% reduction but this depends on the make up of the wall itself. The effect on the range of multiple walls is cumulative. For example, if there are 2 walls in the way, the range will potentially be reduced by up to 40% by each wall. Please refer to the table below for the attenuation characteristics of different types of materials.

1. Place the Siren into Service Mode by pressing and holding the 'Disarm' button  on your remote control for 5 seconds. The Siren will produce 2 short beeps followed 1 second later by a single long beep. The Siren LEDs will flash together in conjunction with the beeps.
2. Place the Siren into Learn Mode by pressing and holding the 'Arm' button  on your remote control for 5 seconds.
3. The Siren will emit a single short beep and both the Comfort LEDs and the Learn LED will flash together slowly once every 2 seconds. The Siren will remain in Learn Mode for 30 seconds.
4. To link a new wireless motion sensor, either remove the battery isolation tab from the sensor, or push the tamper button, located inside the battery compartment on the back of the sensor.
   
   
   
   
5. To link a new wireless door and window sensor, either remove the battery isolation tab from the sensor, or slide open and close the battery cover.
   
    

This means that a door or window in that zone has been left open.

If you wish to leave the door/window(s) open then you can force arm the system by pressing Arm /Home button on the keypad a second time.

Otherwise please first go and close the relevent door/window(s) before continuing to arm the system by pressing the Arm /Home  button on the keypad.

All wireless door and window contact sensors in Zone 1 have a 5 minute delay before alerting the keypad that they have been left open.

Typically when a family of 2 or more occupants leave the home, the first occupant will open the door to exit and then leaves the door open until the last occupant presses the 'Arm' button  , which starts the 30 second countdown, before closing the front door. The 5 minutes will give enough time for all occupants to exit the home via the front door.

Therefore if you have opened a window or another door in Zone 1 less than 5 minutes before pressing the 'Arm' button , the system will not alert you, and will continue to arm itself.

Zones 2 and 3 however are instant and will alert you instantly if any doors/windows have been left open when you press the 'Arm' button on the keypad.

Try one of the following solutions in this order:

1. Ensure that the sensor is within effective radio range of the Keypad and is not mounted close to metal objects which may interfere with the wireless radio transmission.
2. Ensure the battery isolation tab has been removed from the side of the sensor.
   
   
   
   
3. Ensure that the gap between the Magnet and Sensor is no more than than 10mm.
   
   
   
   
4. Check and replace the battery in the door and window sensor.
   
   If the above does not work, try a walk test.
   
   
5. Perform a walk test to ensure the ID of the sensor has been learnt into a zone (1-3). First, enter Test mode on the keypad by pressing the Disarm (insert icon) button on the keypad, followed by swiping a contactless tag or entering your PIN code. The keypad will respond by playing a melody. Now press the number 1, then walk around and open and close any windows or doors that you want to test. If the sensors are linked to the keypad, the keypad will play an alert sound and indicate the Zone number. If not, there will be no response from the keypad, and you will have to re-link the sensor to the keypad. To exit Test mode, press the Disarm button once again.
   
          
   
   If you discover sensors that are not linked to the keypad, you will need to re-link them.

1. Enter Programming mode by pressing the Programme button followed by swiping a contactless tag or entering your PIN code. The keypad will play a melody to indicate success.
   
    
   
   
2. Select a Zone number 1 - 3 that you want to link the sensor to.
   
   
   
   
3. To link a new wireless motion sensor, either remove the battery isolation tab from the sensor, or push the tamper button, located inside the battery compartment on the back of the sensor.
   
   
   
   
4. To link a new wireless door and window sensor, either remove the battery isolation tab from the sensor, or slide open and close the battery cover.
   
   
   
   
5. If the sensor is already linked to the keypad, the keypad will play an alert sound. If the sensor has been successfully linked to the keypad, the keypad will play a melody.
   
   
   
   
6. Exit programming mode by pressing the Programme button again.
   
   

1. Place the Siren into Service Mode by pressing and holding the 'Disarm' button  on your remote control for 5 seconds. The Siren will produce 2 short beeps followed 1 second later by a single long beep. The Siren LEDs will flash together in conjunction with the beeps.
   
   
   
   
2. For wireless door and window sensors, remove the battery cover by sliding it down. Replace the battery, ensuring correct polarity and battery type, and close the cover.
   
   
   
   
3. For wireless motion sensors, remove the battery cover by pressing the button at the bottom and pulling it out towards you. Replace the batteries, ensuring correct polarity and battery type, and close the cover. Please note that the sensor will take up to 30 seconds to re-initialise following battery replacement.
   
   
   
   
4. Exit Service Mode by pressing and holding the 'Disarm' button  on your remote control for 5 seconds. The Siren will produce 1 long beep followed 1 second later by 2 short beeps. The Siren LEDs will flash together in conjunction with the beeps.
   
    

1. Ensure that the gap between Magnet and sensor is no more than than 10mm.
   
   
   
   
2. Check that the battery cover is fitted correctly, and that the plastic tab on the battery cover is not broken. When the battery cover is closed, this tab ensures that the Tamper switch inside the sensor is depressed, thus preventing false alarms from triggering.

Try one of the following solutions in this order:

1. Ensure that the sensor is within effective radio range of the Siren and is not mounted close to metal objects which may interfere with the wireless radio transmission.
2. Ensure the battery isolation tab has been removed from the side of the sensor.
   
   
   
   
3. Ensure that the gap between the Magnet and Sensor is no more than than 10mm.
   
   
   
   
4. Check and replace the battery in the door and window sensor.
   
   If the above does not work, you will need to re-link the wireless door and window sensor to the Siren. Check the relevant FAQ or the Instruction Manual on how to do this.

First, open the door or window where the new sensor has been installed, and wait for 2 seconds before closing it. Now you can arm the system.

Similarly if that door or window is already open, then close it and wait for 2 seconds or more before arming the system. This will allow the keypad to register the correct status of that sensor and thereafter during ongoing operation.

1. Enter Programming mode by pressing the Programme button followed by swiping a contactless tag or entering your PIN code. The keypad will play a melody to indicate success.
   
      
   
   
2. For wireless door and window sensors, remove the battery cover by sliding it down. Replace the battery, ensuring correct polarity and battery type, and close the cover.
   
   
   
   
3. For wireless motion sensors, remove the battery cover by pressing the button at the bottom and pulling it out towards you. Replace the batteries, ensuring correct polarity and battery type, and close the cover. Please note that the sensor will take up to 30 seconds to re-initialise following battery replacement.
   
   
   
   
4. Exit programming mode by pressing the Programme button again.
   
   

1. Check and ensure that the battery cover is fitted correctly and firmly.
2. It could be an indication of low battery. Replace the battery.

Open the doors and windows in the Zone indicated by the keypad, wait a few seconds, then close them again. This should reset the 'open/close' status of the doors or windows at the keypad.
