3. Use the */UP or #/DOWN buttons to change the setting, and the ARM/DISARM

button to confirm your selection.

3. Linking sensors and other sirens

Every new sensor must be linked to the alarm centre by assigning it to a zone.

3.1. Linking new sensors

Before beginning the process, ensure the sensor is powered on and ready to be triggered. The sensor

must be triggered as part of the linking process. If you have any SK6 motion sensors, disable them by

covering them with a towel to prevent them from accidentally being triggered during the linking process

for another sensor.

1. Enter programming mode.

2. Choose the LEARN menu option.

3. Use the */UP or #/DOWN buttons to choose the zone to which you wish to add a

sensor. When a zone is selected, the screen will display one of these messages:

• NO ID CODE: The zone is empty and you can link a sensor to it.

• FULL: The zone is full and you cannot add a new sensor to that zone without first

removing one. You can either choose a different zone or clear the zone to assign (a) new

sensor(s).

• # ID CODE IN: This indicates the number of sensors currently assigned to the 8S zone.

Up to 8 sensors can be assigned to this zone.

4. Press the ARM/DISARM button to confirm a zone selection. The selected zone’s icon is now

displayed and the LEARN icon flashes. You are in linking mode.

5. Trigger the sensor.

6. You will hear a long beep from the alarm centre to confirm that linking was successful, and the

screen will display FULL or the # ID CODE IN for that zone.

7. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for additional sensors.

3.2. Removing sensors

You can delete sensors to remove them completely from your system, or to assign them to a different

zone. Note that to remove a sensor, you must clear the entire zone. Sensors cannot be removed

individually from the 8S or 24-Hour zones.
