49-329.fm Page 3 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM ˆ Features Your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor Alarm is a high-quality, battery-operated security device. It uses a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor to detect intruders and activate a built-in alarm. The sensor alarm’s features include: Wireless RF (Radio Frequency) Operation — provides maximum reliability with no wiring required. Built-In PIR Sensor — detects motion up to 30 feet (9.1 m) away and from an angle of up to 110 degrees.
9-329.fm Page 4 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM Chime — lets you select a more pleasant sounding doorbell-type chime as the audible alarm. Panic Alarm — sounds the alarm immediately if you press PANIC on the main unit or if you press both ARM and DISARM (at the same time) on the remote control. RF Remote Control Keychain — gives you simple handheld control of your sensor alarm up to 50 feet (15.2 m). Battery-Operated — works even when electrical power is off.
49-329.fm Page 5 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM ˆ Preparation INSTALLING BATTERIES The main unit of your sensor alarm requires four AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack store). Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Some options that might be available are: municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs. 1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws from the battery compartment cover, then lift off the cover.
49-329.fm Page 7 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM 2. Place the batteries in the compartment and on top of the attached ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. Note: As soon as you press the last battery in place, the alarm sounds a loud chirp and both the red and the green indicators light briefly. 3. Replace the cover, then reinsert and tighten the screws. Notes: • The alarm is disarmed after batteries are installed.
49-329.fm Page 8 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM replace these batteries, be sure to apply the current security code to the remote control so the sensor alarm will recognize the remote signals (see “Remote Control” on Page 11). When the main unit’s LOW BATT indicator flashes about every 5 seconds, or if the sensor alarm stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

Remote Control Each time you remove and replace the batteries in the main unit, you must program the main unit to recognize the remote control’s signals. If you change the security code, there is no need to reprogram the main unit; it will still recognize the remote signals. Follow these steps to program the main unit so you can use your remote control. 1.

RESETTING THE SECURITY CODE If you ever forget your security code, you can easily reset it to the default code (1234) by removing and reinstalling the main unit’s batteries (see “Installing Batteries” on Page 5).

Select a mounting location where the alarm is most likely to detect an intruder.
49-329.fm Page 15 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM TEMPORARILY PLACING THE SENSOR ALARM Before you permanently mount the sensor alarm, temporarily place it at the selected location so you can check the coverage area. You might need to check several different locations to find the best one. Place the main unit on a stepladder (for example) at the recommended height, then move the stepladder to various locations in the room(s) you want to protect.
49-329.fm Page 16 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM 3. Set the main unit’s slide switch to CHIME. A doorbell-type chime immediately sounds. ARM CHIME INSTANT DELAY LOW BATT PROG 4. Walk around in the protected area. When the sensor alarm detects your motion, the chime sounds again. • If the sensor alarm does not chime when you are within the coverage area, change the main unit’s location.
49-329.fm Page 17 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM MOUNTING THE SENSOR ALARM After you determine the best location for your sensor alarm, follow these steps to mount it on the wall. 1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red indicator should not be flashing) by entering the current security code. 2. Drill two holes 13/8 inches (35 mm) apart. Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 3/16 inch (5 mm).
49-329.fm Page 18 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM 4. Turn the main unit clockwise (so the right screw head slides into the curved groove) until it is secure.
49-329.fm Page 19 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM ˆ Operation We recommend that you test the sensor alarm at least once a month by arming and disarming it as described in the following section. ARMING AND DISARMING THE SENSOR ALARM Arming To have the alarm’s siren sound as soon as the sensor detects motion, set the main unit’s slide switch to INSTANT.
49-329.fm Page 20 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM To have the alarm’s siren sound about 30 seconds after the sensor detects motion, set the slide switch to DELAY. To arm the sensor alarm, press ARM on the main unit or on the remote control. At either the INSTANT or DELAY setting, you have 10 seconds to leave the sensor alarm’s coverage area. During this exit delay, the main unit beeps every second and its red indicator flashes.
49-329.fm Page 21 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM the indicator flashes every second for about 30 seconds, then the alarm siren sounds and the indicator stays on. The alarm siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, disarm the alarm (see “Disarming”). If you do not disarm the alarm, the sensor alarm is still armed and the siren will sound again the next time the sensor detects motion. Disarming To disarm the sensor alarm and stop the alarm from sounding, enter your four-digit security code.
49-329.fm Page 22 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM Notes: • You can temporarily silence the alarm only once each time you disarm it. • If entering your security code does not disarm the sensor alarm, try entering the default code (1234). If that code does not disarm the alarm either, remove the sensor alarm from the wall and remove and reinstall the batteries. This resets the security code to 1234.
49-329.fm Page 23 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM sounds every time the sensor detects motion. To turn off the chime, set the slide switch to either INSTANT or DELAY. USING THE PANIC ALARM If you want to startle an intruder (for example) by instantly sounding the alarm siren, simply press PANIC on the main unit or press ARM and DISARM on the remote control at the same time. The siren alarm immediately sounds, even if the sensor alarm was set to CHIME or not armed at all.
49-329.fm Page 24 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM ˆ Care To enjoy your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor Alarm for a long time: • Keep the sensor alarm and remote dry. If they do get wet, wipe them dry immediately. • Use and store the sensor alarm and remote only in normal temperature environments. • Handle the sensor alarm and remote gently and carefully. Don’t drop them. • Keep the sensor alarm and remote away from dust and dirt.
49-329.fm Page 25 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL’S BATTERY Your sensor alarm’s remote control uses the supplied 12V alkaline battery for power. When the remote control’s indicator lights dimly or not at all when you press ARM or DISARM, or if the remote control stops operating properly (the main unit cannot receive the remote control’s signals), replace the battery. We recommend you replace it with an alkaline battery (available at your local RadioShack store).
49-329.fm Page 26 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM Note: You do not need to reset the remote control or main unit after replacing the remote’s battery. Cautions: • Dispose of the old battery promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it. • Always remove an old or weak battery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
