CONTENTS Page No.
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The E400 Wirefree Alarm System is designed to allow flexibility in configuring and using the system. The detectors can be set to operate on any one of 4 Zones, to give an instant alarm or a timed entry delay. There is no limit to the number of detectors that can be installed per Zone. A normally closed, Hard-wired Zone input is also available on Zone 5. Part Arm allows only selected detection Zones to be Armed.

PLANNING AND EXTENDING YOUR ECLIPSE E400 ALARM SYSTEM For even greater protection you can install as many Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors and Magnetic Contact Detectors as and when you require. The E400 Alarm System is designed to give you protection for a three bedroomed house. Just add additional detectors where further protection is needed. PART ARM Protect either all of your home or just the areas you choose.

Undo the two front cover retaining screws and hinge the Control Unit cover down. Remove the Control Unit Back-up Battery. 2. Hold the Control Unit in position and mark the four fixing holes.
MAINS ADAPTOR AND BACK-UP BATTERY Cable Track 7. Close the Control Unit cover and hold it firmly closed whilst securing the two retaining screws. Fit the screw cover plugs supplied to cover the retaining screws. Note: if you accidently trigger the Control Unit AntiTamper Switch whilst closing the cover, 1 Enter WP1.2-12 2 3 4 to cancel the alarm.
House Code is set up by moving each of the first 8 switches (numbered 1-8) to a random sequence of ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. Note: when setting the miniature switches in each item of equipment, ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ into position. Use the tip of a ball point pen or a small screw driver to move each switch in turn. REMOTE CONTROL One Remote Control Unit is supplied in the standard E400 package. However, additional Remote Control Unit(s) can be purchased separately, if required.
2. The system is now in Test/Programming mode. 3. Now, each time the Control Unit receives a valid radio signal from a detector or Remote Control, the Control Unit will emit a two-tone alarm for approximately 3 seconds and the associated Zone LED will illuminate. To clear the Zone LED indicator, press the ‘OFF’ button on your Remote Control.
Before selecting a position for a Passive Infra Red Movement Detector the following points should be noted: 1. Do not position detector facing a window or direct sunlight. Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories or draughty areas. 2. Do not position detector directly above any source of heat, eg. fire, radiators, boiler etc. 3. Where possible, keep pets out of areas protected by Passive Infra Red Movement Detectors.
The recommended Pulse Count is one. In cases of extreme environmental problems or if unattributable false alarms are experienced, it may be necessary to select two Pulse Count detection. Note: The higher the Pulse Count, the more paces an intruder will have to move before triggering the alarm. To select the required Pulse Count move the switch on the side of the detector: UP = Two Pulse Detection DOWN = One Pulse Detection 4.

roof overhangs should also be avoided. Where applicable, the Solar Siren & Strobe should be positioned a minimum of twice the width of the eaves overhang below the eaves. Remember that in winter the sun is lower in the sky and you should avoid winter shadows where possible. NORTH Avoid if possible INSTALLATION Remove the holding screw from the base of the housing and carefully hinge off the front cover. All electronic components are housed within the front cover.
ALARM DURATION This is the maximum length of time that the Solar Siren & Strobe alarm will sound for, following activation. Alarm duration can be set for either 3 or 15 minutes. Set dip switch 9 ‘OFF’ for 3 minutes or ‘ON’ for 15 minutes. Refit the dip switch cover securely.
The Control Unit LEDs 1-8 will indicate the new House Code switch setting eg. ZONE 1 2 3 4 ON ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 8 0 Press to memorise the House Code setting and to revert to the Test/Programming mode. 2. INSTANT/DELAY ZONE Any Zone can be set to give an Entry Delay when the appropriate detector(s) are triggered, eg. to allow access to the Control Unit for manual Disarming. (The length of the entry delay period is programmed separately - see 3 below).
With the Control Unit in Test/Programming mode Zone 1 LED will indicate the setting:- Enter 4 LED ‘ON’ - constant Exit/Intermittent Entry bleep tone selected LED ‘OFF’ - semi silent Exit/Entry bleeps selected A Zone LED will illuminate to indicate the setting:(factory default 3 minutes - Zone 3 LED ‘ON’). To change the setting press the appropriate key to illuminate the associated Zone LED:- (Note: 10 minutes setting will be indicated on the Tamper/Personal Attack/Zone 5 LED).
8. USER ACCESS CODE The Control Unit is supplied with a preset User Access Code of 1 2 3 4 . This code allows general operation (Arming/Disarming etc) and programming/reprogramming of the system at the Control Unit. However, for security reasons, it is essential that you change the User Access Code to another four-digit number which only you and other users of the system will know and use (usually a number with a personal significance is easier to remember).
1 POWER – 2 POWER + 3 N.O. 4 COM 5 N.C.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM Upon entering an Entry Delay Zone, the appropriate Zone LED(s) will illuminate and the Control Unit sounder will either emit a constant intermittent tone or two bleeps depending on the Exit/Entry delay tone programmed. You may Disarm the system by pressing the ‘OFF’ button on the Remote Control Unit or by proceeding immediately to the Control Unit and Entering ? ? ? ? Access Code Note: If the system is not Disarmed during the Entry Delay Period a Full Alarm will occur.
TESTING THE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE You may test your system at any time, however, it is recommended that the system is tested at regular intervals not exceeding three months. You cannot readily test the system using the Remote Control Unit. To set the Control Unit to Test mode Your E400 Intruder Alarm system requires very little maintenance. However, a few simple tasks will ensure its continued reliability and operation. Enter ? The Control Unit requires no maintenance.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES DETECTORS AND REMOTE CONTROL The rechargeable batteries in the Control Unit and Solar Siren & Strobe have a typical life of 3-4 years and need no maintenance during this period providing the batteries are kept charged. The batteries will be damaged if stored in a discharged state. The detectors and Remote Control(s) require no maintenance. Simply replace the batteries once a year or when a low battery is indicated.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Symptom / Recommendation Symptom / Recommendation Control Unit not working. Mains light is off Control Unit not accepting Access Code 1. Press key on Control Unit. If mains light illuminates and then extinguishes after 10 seconds this indicates the Control Unit is operating on Back-up Battery. 1. Pausing too long between pressing keys. Do not pause for more than 5 seconds between keys. 2. Check that mains adaptor is plugged in/connected and switched on.
TROUBLE SHOOTING - continued Symptom / Recommendation Passive Infra Red Movement Detector not detecting a person’s movement 1. Allow up to one minute for the detector to settle down and retry. 2. Pulse Count set too high - reset to one Pulse Count Detection. 3. Ensure that detector is mounted the correct way up (battery compartment at the bottom except for Pet Alley). 4. Ensure that the detector is mounted at the correct height 1.8 - 2 metre from floor, (except Pet Alley). 5.
