Operation Manual

Note: On initial installation the detector should be set into Walk Test mode ready for testing. Upon

completion of Walk Test mode, set DIP1 of SW2 to OFF for normal detection mode.

2. The PIR Detector incorporates an anti-false alarm feature designed to compensate for situations

where the detector may be affected by environmental changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc).

This feature is called “sensitivity detection” and may be selected for high or low detection.

The recommended setting is for high sensitivity detection. However, in cases of extreme

environmental problems or if unattributable false alarms are experienced, it may be necessary to

select low sensitivity detection.

Set the required sensitivity detection using DIP2 of SW2 as follows:

ON high sensitivity detection

OFF low sensitivity detection

Note: The higher the sensitivity detection the less movement will be necessary before the PIR detector

will trigger the alarm.

6.3 Door/window (magnetic) opening detector SA68M

The Magnetic contact consists of two parts; a Detector and a Magnet. They are designed to be fitted to

doors or windows with the Magnet mounted on the opening part and the Detector mounted on the fixed

frame. Opening the protected door/window will remove the magnetic field, trigger the Detector and

generate an alarm condition, (if the system is armed and the alarm zone active).

The Detector is powered by one 3.6V 1200mAh Lithium battery which under normal conditions will have

typical life in excess of 5 years. Under normal battery conditions with battery cover fitted the LED on the

Detector will not illuminate when the Detector is triggered, (unless in test mode). However, under low

battery conditions this LED will be illuminated when the detector is triggered. When this occurs the battery

should be replaced as soon as possible.

For double security, there are two tamper switches fitted on the Detector. (FIGURE 2) Either removing the

Detector from the protected door/window or removing the battery cover will generate a full alarm condition.

The Magnetic Contact Detector is of self-contained wired Magnetic Contact. This contact must be of a

normally closed contact type with the contacts being opened in order to generate an alarm condition.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION

The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior locations only. Decide which

doors/windows are to be protected by Magnetic Contact Detectors, (usually the front and back doors as a

minimum will have Magnetic Contact Detectors fitted). Additional detectors may also be fitted where

required to other vulnerable doors or windows, (e.g. garage, patio/conservatory doors etc).

Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal frame, or mounting within 1m of metalwork (i.e.

radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the radio range of the device. If required, it may be

necessary to space the magnet and detector away from the metal surface using a plastic or wooden

spacer to achieve the necessary radio range.

INSTALLING THE MAGNETIC CONTACT DETECTORS

Ensure that the system is in Test Mode.

1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the bottom edge of

the Detector. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it

off. (DO NOT use a screwdriver to lever the cover off).

2. Fit the 3.6V Lithium battery supplied, with the negative (-)

towards the battery spring.
