Introduction

Contents

Thank you for choosing this Yale EF Series Alarm System.  
This simple to install system has been designed with the 
user in mind. 

All the components are self contained and no connections 
are needed between the units. There is no need to 
damage the home decor, lift carpets or run cables. 

You can install up to 30 devices in this system. As well as 
extra Door/Window Contacts, PIR Motion Detectors and 
Smoke Detectors, you can add Key Fobs and Key Pads 
for added control convenience.

 
There is no need to wire into the mains supply or seek 
the services of a qualified electrician. All components are 
powered by battery (all batteries included). Regular testing 
and battery changes (when notified by the system) will 
ensure reliability and peace of mind. 

All components are ‘tamper’ protected. Any unauthorised 
tampering with the system will result in an alarm. This 
feature can be turned off by the user when a battery 
change is required. 

Display extreme caution when using ladders or steps, 
please follow manufacturer instructions. Be careful when 
using hand and power tools and follow the manufacturers’ 
guidelines when using them. Take care that the correct 
tools are used. Wear goggles or protective clothing where 
required. 

The Siren is extremely loud, please ensure you replace the 
cover and retreat to a safe distance before testing.  

Special Notes on Compatibility:

This alarm system is NOT compatible with HSA6000 
series and HSA3000 series accessories. Please note the 
prefix “

EF-

” on the front of the part number to indicate 

compatibility. (Note: Not compatible with accessories that
