Installing the alarm unit
Attention!
Do not drill or screw any additional screws into the housing of the alarm
unit
Q
or the magnet
W
for installation purposes.
o
Use the supplied adhesive strips to fix the alarm unit
Q
and the magnets
W
.
o
Place the alarm unit
Q
at the edge of the window or door handle side (see also Fig. B).
o
Place the magnets
W
on the window or door frame (see also Fig C). If the frame
measures more than 12 mm, place the magnet to the side of the frame (see Fig D).
Ensure that the side mark of the alarm
Q
is directly opposite the magnet’s arrow
W
(tip of magnet’s arrow
W
must always show in the direction of the alarm
Q
).
The marking on the alarm and the magnets must also face one another.
Note:
Alternatively, the magnets
W
can also be attached using screws (not supplied)
rather than using the adhesive strip. In this case, use a maximum 3.5 mm screws (e.g.
wooden screws 3 x 12 mm or tapping screws 2.9 x 13 mm) – the length of the screws
depends on the material and thickness of the frame. Please be sure not to bore or
screw into glass when attaching to a glass frame.
Important:
the distance between the alarm
Q
and magnet
W
must be max. 10 mm
(see Fig. B).
Lefthand installation:
o
If you wish to fit the alarm on the lefthand side, turn it by 180° (“on its head”).
Operation
Switching the alarm on and off
o
To activate the alarm, switch the On / Off switch
R
to “I” (On).
The alarm is now activated and emits a signal when the door or window is
opened (more than approx. 20 mm between the alarm unit and the magnet). The
signal is only switched off when the door / window etc. is closed or by the On / Off
switch
R
.
o
To deactivate the alarm or after the alarm signal has been triggered, switch the
On / Off switch
R
to “O”.
Changing the batteries
o
Set On / Off switch
R
to “0” (off).
o
Open the battery compartment by pushing the battery compartment cover
E
down (see Fig. A).
o
Carefully remove the batteries, e.g. using a screw driver.
o
Place the new batteries in the correct positions. The correct polarity is indicated
in the battery compartment.
o
Push the battery compartment cover
E
back onto the alarm unit
Q
.
Note:
always change all three batteries at the same time. If possible always use
alkaline batteries, as these guarantee longer service life.
