Prevention of False Alarms
The majority of alarms that occur are false. These situations
happen every day due to user error, incorrect installation or
improper maintenance of the system. False alarms will limit
the responsiveness to the system, and become a general
inconvenience. As the number of false alarms increases,
authorities have become less apt to respond to alarm systems
due to this problem. Many of these situations can be avoided by
following some very simple practices.
• Ensure all users are properly trained on the operation of the system.
• Always Disarm the DS600 Mobilelock™ before entering
protected area.
• Lock all protected doors, windows or any other asset attached
to a sensor.
• Check that motion detectors are not obstructed. Do not install
them facing a window or near a heating/air conditioning vent.
• Check that premises are cleared and assets secured before
Arming the system.
• Turn off all noise sources – radios, compressors, generators,
heavy equipment, etc.
• Know how to cancel an alarm or turn off the system before activating.
• Test the system on a monthly basis to ensure proper functioning
• Check cellular signal, power supply, and that sensors are
secured on a daily basis.
Recommended Locations
Recommended for use in enclosed areas, offices, climate
controlled storage, and monitoring interior spaces.
• The DS610 functions best when areas being protected are
bounded by solid barriers. Walls and floors provide good
back- drops for detecting moving heat (infrared) sources.
• For best detection, locate the motion sensor so that intruders
move across detection zone patterns, rather than toward or
away from the sensor (Fig. 2).
• Check areas for potential sources of false alarms.
Remember that the sensor responds to quick changes in heat
patterns within its coverage pattern. Avoid placing in direct or
reflected sunlight, or near objects that can be heated quickly
by sunlight. Do not place the DS610 looking at windows. Don't
place it near heating or cooling sources, like heater ducts or
air conditioners, which might direct hot or cold air onto the
sensor. Avoid appliances such as space heaters which can
rapidly heat up.
• Take into consideration the normal use of the area. Are there
bats, mice or other animals that could activate the sensor?
• Do not obstruct the coverage pattern with furniture or other
equipment.
Installing & Changing Battery
This wireless sensor requires a non-rechargeable CR-123 3.0
Volt Lithium battery.
CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR
FAILURE. Do not touch the electronic components inside the
device, except the reset button and battery.
TO INSTALL BATTERY
1. Using a flat screwdriver, open the housing. Insert the
screwdriver about .25" (6mm) at the tab on the bottom of the
unit (Fig. 3). The screwdriver will enter the slot at about a 45˚
angle. Pry downward on the handle of the screwdriver until
the latch holding the cover to the housing base releases.
2. Install the battery using the polarity (+ and -) markings on
the battery and equipment. Do not use excessive force. If
the battery does not fit, ensure that it matches the polarity
markings (Fig. 1).
3. Press the Reset Button (B) on the device. After resetting the
sensor (see Device Registration), replace the cover.
TO CHANGE THE BATTERY
CAUTION: Never use a damaged or worn out battery.
1. Carefully remove the old, discharged battery. Dispose of the
battery according to local regulations.
2. Install new battery using the polarity (+ and -) markings on
the battery and equipment. Do not use excessive force. If
the battery does not fit, ensure that it matches the polarity
markings (Fig. 1).
3. Press the Reset Button (B) on the device. After resetting the
sensor, replace the cover.
Device Registration
1. To activate this sensor, it must first be assigned to your DS600
Mobilelock™ Device. Instructions for assigning your sensor
can be found within your online Mobilelock™ account.
NOTE: This sensor can be assigned to only one DS600
Mobilelock™ device at a time.
1. Log into your online Mobilelock™ account.
2. Select the Mobilelock™ device you wish to pair this sensor to
and go to the Configure Units page.
3. Click the link titled "Manage Bluetooth
4. Click to "Enable" Bluetooth
5. After the Mobilelock™ device's Bluetooth
"Enabled", click "Add Sensor". After the battery is installed
in the sensor hold it close to the DS600 and click "Scan for
available sensors".
6. When the website shows the sensor click on it to confirm
your selection.
7. Then configure the sensor: Give it a name (ie: "Downstairs
Motion").
8. Select any optional alerts desired and click "Save and Close".
9. Make sure the sensor is selected as "Enabled".
10. After registration, Arm the DS600 Mobilelock™ and test the
sensor.
WALK TEST
Wait 90 seconds since last motion was detected then walk
through the areas where protection is expected. When motion
is detected the light bar on the front of the motion sensor will
illuminate. Check to see that the motion alarm was received in
the Event History for the DS600 Mobilelock™ on the Configure
Units page and also that notification of the alarm was received
as per the settings on the Alarm Contacts page. Determine the
limits of the coverage by repeating this test until the motion is not
detected.
