Alarms

Please take care when mounting the sensor due to the in-built’ Tilt Tamper’ mechanism. The tamper spring also needs to be carefully seated.

Please note limitations when using the pet-friendly PIR’s. The higher the sensor is mounted, the larger the pet immune range. Do not aim the sensors directly toward stairs or furniture where the pet can climb on and enter the detection area.

The siren will sound when triggered for a pre-selected time of 4 or 10 minutes. The system will automatically be re-armed again after this time period has elapsed.

Your siren may not be programmed in correctly. Ensure that the siren ‘beeps’ when transmitting a ‘tamper-off’ signal from the panel. If the problem persists, try re-‘learning’ in your siren unit, ensuring that the master/slave switch ‘4’ is set to ‘off’ and that you hear a confirmation ‘beep’ during transmission of the ‘learn siren’ signal from the control panel.

Your keypad may not be programmed in correctly to the siren. Ensure that the keypad program mode green LED is flashing when transmitting a tamper-off signal and the confirmation ‘beep’ is heard.

If the problem persists, try re-‘learning’ your keypad, ensuring that the siren master/slave switch ‘4’ is set to ‘on’ and that you are in the keypad programming mode.

Try clearing the siren memory by moving the’ clear’ switch 1, then repeating the ‘learning’ process.

This problem is usually caused by poor positioning of the external siren and will be exacerbated during bad weather, for example during periods of high winds and storms. Please place suitable waterproof packaging behind the tamper lever, also ensuring the siren cover is firmly screwed in to place.

If the problem persists it is also recommended to disable the radio interference detection.

Siren batteries should be refreshed every 2-3 years. The unit will’ beep’ five times when arming the system to inform you that the battery power is too low. It is required to disable the siren tamper when swapping out batteries. Further details are to be found in the manual.

The siren uses standard, non-rechargeable, D-type alkaline batteries. It is not solar powered.

It is possible to have several sirens, yes. However, only one unit can be programmed with a Siren-based alarm.

The technical specification is 104 dB.

You must ensure that you are in the programming mode when mounting your detectors on the wall, otherwise the sensitive detector tamper springs will trigger the alarm even when in the ‘Alarm Off’ state.

You are currently in the keypad programming mode. Press the ‘disarming’ button twice to exit this mode to allow normal arming operation of your alarm.

Please check your keypad PIN has been correctly set, it may still be stuck at the factory preset code. Try changing to your desired code again, taking care to not leave any gaps between the stages of the PIN setting process.

If the alarm is set in ‘Home’ mode, the panel display will always blinking a red led. In ‘Away’ mode, however, the ‘Alarm On’ status show in the panel a normal red led.

Yes, in addition to the external siren unit you have the internal panel siren with 94 dB power loud.

In the App Settings you can add others telephone numbers so you can receive a SMS when there is a burglar

This means there has been an alarm activation or there is a fault is in the system. Please fully arm the system, then disarm. If fault light is still on please go into the app and check if there are any faults with any of the devices. 

However, you can make a restart Smart hub, all the settings are the same but the Smart hub is updated.

Wait until the red light ceases to flash, 30 seconds after insertion of the batteries, press the test button. If the problem persists, remove and reinsert the detector batteries and repeat the ‘learning’ process.

The sensors upstairs must be programmed as ‘Home Omit’, to exclude them when in the ‘Home’ arm mode.

If you have already configured your alarm, you can edit the settings of each device in the ‘Edit Devices’ sub- menu of the programming mode.

Yes, Yale alarms have a ‘24 hour’ setting available to constantly trigger the alarm in the event such a

detector is activated. The alarm does not have to armed for the siren to be triggered by a sensor programmed as ’24 hour’, a useful application for a ground floor.

The detector at the point of entry must be programmed as ‘Entry’. Please check the programming of the detector under the ‘Devices +/-‘menu, amend from ‘Burglar’ or another mode, if necessary, and retest.

There will not be a problem in using a detector in this location, provided it is within the maximum 30 metre range from the control panel.

It is recommended to use a door magnetic contact in this application, however, rather than a PIR in order to prevent false alarms from insects and rodents.

Animals will most likely trigger standard PIR’s when the alarm is set. A special range of ‘pet friendly detectors’HSA6021 are now available from the Yale website. Alternatively, a magnetic door contact could be used in place of a PIR for this purpose.

The best height is around 2.3m above the floor, situated in the corner of the room.

Try moving the magnet closer to the main contact block, the gap should be no more than 8mm. Sometimes packaging may be required for uPVC doors and windows, to bring the contacts and magnets closer together.

Ensure the red LED comes on when you break the magnetic contacts.

The PIR’s will respond to movement of up to 15 metres away.

The red PIR lights will not always flash, to conserve the battery life. If you are in any doubt of the operation of a PIR, vacate the area for up to 60 seconds, and test using the ‘walk test’ facility.
