Congratulations on your purchase of this Swann Wireless Alarm Kit.

You’ve chosen a versatile security solution that’s great for almost any home or small

business that is as easy to install as it is to stick a double-sided piece of tape to

something.

How it Works

The Base Unit will monitor for signals

coming from the Sensors and the

Remote Control.

The sensors and the remote control

can only send information. The

receiver/siren can only receive

information. Thus, the receiver needs

to be in a central location as close to

the sensors and where you’ll want to

use the remote control.

Each sensor has a number from 1

through 4, which correspond to the

numbers on the front face.

Alarm / Chime

You can set the Receiver to act as either an alarm siren or as a doorchime.

When set to Chime, the receiver will emit a chime tone each time any sensor detects

anything. This means that any time something moves in front of the PIR Sensors the

chime will sound.

Remember: There’s no such thing as “too much protection”.

This Wireless Alarm Kit is a fantastic entry-level, easy to install security system and is

a great deterrent to theives and intruders. However, it’s not infallible, and could be

circumvented by a skilled (or very lucky) assailant.

Remember: The Wireless Alarm Kit will detect intruders, it can’t actually do anything

to stop them other than making a loud alarm noise.

We strongly suggest that the Wireless Alarm Kit be used as part of a comprehensive

security solution, perhaps involving CCTV and/or an Internet-based monitoring

solution. Quality doors and locks are also important, as are vandal-resistant windows

if you happen to be in a high-risk area.

Introduction

The included Window/Door Sensors are

extremely reliable, and will be triggered

every time the door on which they are

mounted is opened.

When the two parts of the sensor are

extremely close to one another (ideally

touching) the sensor is deactivated. As

soon as the two parts are moved apart by

about 1/2 of an inch (about 10-15mm), this

will cause the transmitter to send the alarm

signal.

We suggest using the Window/Door

Sensors as your primary alarm triggers.

They are reliable and, if installed correctly,

can safeguard doors and windows from

being opened without your knowledge.

However, these types of sensors can be circumvented if a window or fragile door

were broken rather than opened. Thus, we suggest using the infrared sensors as a

backup to the Window/Door Sensors.

IMPORTANT: The Window/Door Sensor only works correctly when the trigger is

aligned to the correct side of the transmitter as pictured above. The trigger should

be placed on the side opposite to the RF+ALARM/OFF/RF switch.

Environments with extreme uctuating magnetic elds (such as around devices like

microwaves) can interfere with the proper functioning of the Window/Door Sensor.

We suggest avoiding placing the Window/Door Sensor near these devices. (We’re

not sure why you would keep your microwave at the front door, but people do weird

things sometimes.)

Modes:

OFF: The Window/Door Sensor is inactive.

RF: When triggered, the Window/Door Sensor will transmit a signal to the control

unit. The built-in siren will not sound.

RF+ALARM: When triggered, the Window/Door Sensor will transmit a signal to the

control unit in addition to sounding its own internal siren. The additional siren in the

sensor is a great backup to the main alarm unit’s siren, and will sound in the place

the alarm is triggered.

The Door/Window Sensors

The Passive InfraRed (PIR) Motion Sensor will, under

typical conditions, detect a human being moving around

within approximately thirty-three feet (about 10m) from

the sensor. This is an average value, as the actual detection

range is between 16ft/5m and 50ft/15m.

As the performance of the sensor is determined primarily

by environmental conditions, no guarantees can be

oered regarding the detection range. However, the

range is typically sucient for the majority of interior

spaces (excluding the obviously absurd, such as

basketball courts or aircraft hangars). Some garages may

be large enough that one sensor cannot cover the whole

area – we suggest testing this in the actual environment

if there’s any doubt.

The sensor has a 110º eld of view horizontally, and a slightly narrower view

(approximately 70º) vertically. This means that most of what you could see if you

closed one eye and put your head where you’d mount the sensor is pretty close to

the area the sensor will cover. The main blind spots, of course, are above, below or

behind the sensor itself.

Typically, the ideal placement in an environment is in the upper corner of a room,

facing slightly towards the ground (perhaps 20-25º, depending on the height of the

sensor). Try to cover typical paths through the room, focusing particularly on likely

entry and exit points. If the room has several entry points, try to cover as many of

these as practicable.

A visible PIR motion sensor can be a great deterrent to intruders – but on the other

hand, skilled intruders can avoid obviously visible sensors. Try to mix it up a bit.

How it works:

The PIR motion sensor is a passive infrared motion sensor, meaning it detects infrared

radiation rather than projecting it (unlike a security camera with infrared night vision,

which is active infrared). All objects emit this “black-body radiation” (we commonly

call it “heat”) and the infrared sensor looks for any of this radiation which moves.

The PIR motion sensor is not infallible – in particular, it cannot detect objects/people

which are the same temperature as their background. So a human being moving

about on an extremely hot day might go unnoticed. Also, a security camera with

active infrared night vision in the same vicinity as the infrared sensor may give false

alarms (particularly if it is a moving PTZ system).

The PIR Sensors

5ft/1.8m - 7ft/2.4m

16ft/5m

50ft/15m

70°

The PIR motion sensors have an eective range of between 16ft/5m and 50ft/15m

depending on the specic conditions of the environment. Typically, the sensor

will have a longer range in colder conditions, or in evenly heated environments.

The opposite is also true - environments with uneven temperatures (such as part of

the area in sunlight and other areas in shade) or consistently high temperatures will

lower the eective range of the sensor.

Under typical circumstances, the maximum eective range of the PIR motion sensor

is approximately 50ft/15m. Multiple sensors can be used in conjunction with one

another to cover larger spaces.

Important:

• Any obstructions in the environment will reduce the sensors eectiveness. It

can’t see through walls! Even a thin sheet of glass will signicantly impair the

range of the sensor, as glass blocks more infrared radiation than visible light.

• Small animals (such as a cat or similar) can, under some circumstances, trigger

the PIR motion sensors. Therefore, we suggest that the PIR motion sensors are

not suited to areas where pets are routinely kept.

Placing the PIR Motion Sensors

The Remote Controls are the keys to your Wireless Alarm system. Treat them with

the same care and attention you would your physical keys: if you lose the remote

controls, then you won’t be able to easily disarm the Wireless Alarm System.

The remote controls will operate reliably at a range of up to approximately 10m

(about 33ft). Large obstructions (particularly metallic ones) will reduce the eective

range.

Remember, you’ll want to be able to disarm the system easily from outside of the

house, so you don’t trigger the alarm when you open the door (triggering a Door/

Window Sensor) or enter the house (possibly triggering the PIR Motion Sensor(s)).

Thus, the Siren Unit should be placed within 10m of your preferred entry point, so

that it’s in wireless range when the remote control is used.

Remember not to ARM the system until you’re outside the range of the PIR sensors,

and are past any doors with the Door/Window Sensors attached.

To ARM the Wireless Alarm System:

• Press the ON button.

• The Siren Unit will beep to conrm.

• There is a twenty second delay between arming the system and it being fully

armed.

• We suggest that you’re simply not in range of the system when you arm it.

• But: if you really want to feel like you’re making a James Bond-esque escape in

the nick of time, go for it. It’s fun.

To DISARM the Wireless Alarm System:

• PresstheOFFbutton.

The alarm system will beep to conrm. The system will be disarmed instantly.

Pressing the OFF button while the siren is sounding will instantly stop the siren.

Remember: The Control unit/Siren doesn’t have any inputs on the unit, so if you lose

the remote controls, then there’s no way to simply turn o the system.

We suggest removing the batteries from the Siren if you really need to disarm it and

the remotes just aren’t an option.

On the subject of removing batteries: It’s worth putting the Siren somewhere not

easily accessible. If it’s too easy to get to, an intruder can simply remove the batteries.

Arming / Disarming the System

Both the Window/Door Sensors and PIR Motion Sensors require batteries, as does the

remote control. These are necessary for the alarms to be able to transmit an active

wireless signal. The functionality of the sensors is reliant on the batteries providing

power in much the same way as a smoke detector.

We recommend changing the batteries in all sensors every six months.

The expected life of the batteries is actually considerably longer than this (they’ll

probably last for a year or more). However the consequences of the batteries running

low can be so dramatic that we strongly recommend changing to fresh batteries

long before there is a chance that they’ll run down - much like the recommendations

for smoke detectors.

Window/Door Sensor: 3 x LR44 / 357A Button Cells

The battery compartment on the Window/Door Sensor is located on the front of the

alarm unit. To open it:

• Press in at the top of the battery compartment cover and slide down.

• Remove any old batteries.

• Insert three fresh alkaline LR44 button cell batteries. The correct orientation is to

have the“+”side of the battery facing up.

PIR Motion Sensor: 3 x AAA

The battery compartment on the PIR is located on the rear of the sensor, just

underneath mounting bracket slot. To change the batteries:

• Push the top of the battery compartment cover in, and push down to remove.

• Replace the three AAA batteries with fresh alkaline AAA batteries. Be sure to insert the

batteries in the orientation indicated on the rear side of the battery compartment.

Remote Control: 3 x LR44 / 357A Button Cells

To change the battery in the remote:

• Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the remote.

• Remove the small screw and open the battery compartment by sliding down.

• Replace the three LR44 button cells. The correct polarity is indicated by the

markings inside the battery compartment.

• Replace the battery compartment cover, and secure with the screw.

Receiver / Siren: 3 x AA

• Remove the battery compartment cover on the rear of the Receiver.

• Insert three (3) fresh AA batteries. For best results and the most reliable

performance, use high quality alkaline batteries.

• The correct polarity is indicated by the markings inside the battery

compartment.

Batteries

Problem: I keep getting false alarms!

Solution: There are a few possible reasons why this might be occurring.

Check that there are no strong magnetic elds around your Window/Door Sensor(s).

Things like televisions, computers, microwaves and (of course) magnets of any kind

will interfere with the proper operation of the Window/Door Sensor and could lead

to false alarms.

Check that there are no shifting heat sources in view of the PIR Motion Sensor(s). This

includes the obvious things, such as moving animals or people, but also things such

as a moving shadow on a hot day (such as the shadow of a tree blowing in the wind).

Sometimes reected infrared heat from the sun in enough to trigger the sensor.

If you’ve had the system installed for some time, then the batteries built into the

sensors might be running low, causing erratic behavior.

If you’re using the Wireless Alarm System in an environment with a high level of radio

‘noise’ (that is, somewhere that there are many other wireless devices in use) then

these interfering signals might be interpreted as the system as alarm signals. This

should, however, be a very rare occurrence.

Problem: My PIR Motion Sensor isn’t detecting movement.

Solution: Sometimes, heat sources too close (within a few feet/about 2m) away from

the sensor will not set it o. The sensor is designed to be most sensitive to things

at mid-range (between about 6ft/2m and 26ft/8m) and sometimes can’t focus on

things closer than this. It’s a little like holding something too close to your own eyes

- you won’t be able to focus on it!
