Selecting A Suitable Location - Homeguard BS8000 Manual De Usuario

4. SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION

The base station has a so-called passive infrared element that detects any change in
temperature within its range. A certain amount of heat related to human beings is detected
for an alarm. However to achieve the best performance of your HomeGuard, note following
installation recommendations before installing:
•
It should be located at approx. 170-180cm height on a fixed vertical surface e.g. wall
or cupboard
•
Choose a location where an intruder may pass the monitored area at all time in an
early stage of intrusion.
•
Choose a location near to a wall outlet and telephone socket.
•
The sensor should not be placed above or near heating elements or in front of air-
conditioners.
•
Do not mount the sensor on a metal surface or next to electrical equipment such as
TV sets or computers.
Caution:
a. Radio equipment (e.g. wireless headphones or loudspeakers) working on a frequency
band of 433MHz will not create a false alarm, however, these devices will limit the RF
range of the remote control considerably.
b. Pets, e.g. dogs or cats, may trigger the alarm, and should therefore not be kept in the
same room as where the activated sensor is mounted.
5. PIN CODE SETTING:
Your HomeGuard can be operated and programmed by using a so-called PIN code
(Personal Identification Number). The factory default code is: [0000]. To avoid
unauthorised use, enter your own PIN code.
Note: Choose a code you will easily remember, since the HomeGuard will recognise this
code only for further operation.
1. Enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number). Factory default is [0000]: You will hear
three high tones and one low tone as confirmation. The green indicator starts flashing.
2. Press 5 on the keyboard of the HomeGuard: One low tone is given for confirmation.
3. Enter a new 4-digit PIN code: You will get three high tones and one low tone as
confirmation and the indicator stops flashing.
6. PROGRAMMING OF TELEPHONE NUMBERS.
You may select up to three telephone numbers to be contacted if the alarm is triggered.
These numbers may include mobile (GSM) numbers, however you are not allowed to use
national emergency numbers from e.g. police, paramedical, etc. The numbers you chose
should be have well informed people, instructed by you and able to help in case of an
alarm (e.g. neighbours, friends, relatives or your own mobile).
