8.12 THEFT ALARM
Your light is equipped with a theft alarm. A motion sensor in the light detects when it is
moved or taken away and a small siren will sound to deter potential thieves.
First make sure your Radio
PIN is different from 0000.
See chapter 8.1 how to
change it.
Then press the “ON” button.
Press “Activate”.
All targeted lights will flash
shortly to indicate that they
are now armed.
If the siren is set to DELAYED, it sounds only if the
alarm persists for more than 6 seconds.
The ON setting makes it sound immediately,
while the OFF setting mutes it always.
The sensitivity can be adjusted to meet your
environment. A lower value makes a false alarm
more unlikely.
In case a potential thief is taking the light away while
ignoring the alarm, he will most likely cause alarm
events for more than 2 minutes in a row.
In that case, the alarm can be set to become
permanent. Then it won’t stop, even if the light is
placed down again. It will run until the battery is
empty, rendering the light useless for the thief.
In some applications it is not desirable to have the
lights flashing while the alarm is enabled or disabled.
It can be disabled by this option easily.
The alarm can be silenced without turning it off by
pressing this button.
NOTE:
To turn the alarm off again, an AsteraApp™ with the same Radio PIN must be used.
Do not forget your Radio PIN! Otherwise, your light cannot be used normally anymore.
