of the arrow. Install batteries according to the battery polarity diagram inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery door. Lithium cell batteries in the Door/Window, Garage and Water Leak Sensor can last up to two years. If the Motion Sensor is in a Zone with other Sensors, try replacing its battery first. Note: The Control Center has an automatic internal battery tester. After batteries are installed you can check the backup battery status at any time by unplugging the AC adapter.
Notification switch settings: Off – In this mode when a Sensor is activated, the Control Center will issue a visual Alert only (flashing Zone LED indicator), no audio will be heard. The LED indicator will continue to flash as long as the Sensor is activated (door or window is open, garage door is up, etc.) Chime – In this mode when a Sensor is activated, the Control Center will issue a two-tone chime sound.
Bypass – You can bypass a Zone so that any Sensors in that Zone (1, 2, and/or 3) will not trigger the alarm regardless of HOME or AWAY setting. Quick Reference Card The Control Center comes with a quick reference card and clear storage envelope. Attach the clear envelope using the peel off adhesive and press it to the bottom of the Control Center. Use a pencil to indicate where Sensors are located around your home.
four Sensors - Any combination of Sensors (Motion, Door, Water or Garage) can be assigned to any of the four Zones. If you decide to expand, it is important to know you can always add more Sensors, (16 total). Zones 1, 2 and 3 are designated for Arm/Alarm, or Notification modes. Step 1 A. Press and hold the Learn button (unit will beep). B. While continuing to press the Learn button, press and hold Arm button (within three seconds). C. When Control Center sounds a long beep, release buttons.
Assigning a Sensor to a Zone open, storage sheds or work shops unsecured, etc). Sensors placed in Zone 4 will not activate the Alarm or Chime. When a Sensor is triggered in Zone 4, the Control Center will sound a repeating Alert (4 beeps) and the Zone 4 LED indicator will flash continuously. These Alerts will continue until the Sensor is closed. You can Mute the repeating Alert sound but the LED indicator will continue to flash until the Sensor is reset/deactivated (i.e. door is closed).
Step 2 – Press the Zone button (1, 2, 3 or 4) for the Zone you want to assign to the Sensor. The LED indicator for that Zone will begin to flash. Step 3 – Release the Zone button. Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone will not trigger an alarm or chime. Step 4 – Activate the Sensor - For the Window/Door Sensor, separate the two pieces or if mounted, open the door or window.
Arm (HOME) – No delay, instant alarm. This setting is used when you wish to secure the area but will be home and moving around within the armed area. In the Arm/HOME setting, any Motion Sensors in Zone 1, 2, and 3 will not operate. All Sensors must be closed/not activated in order to set the alarm. To set the system in HOME mode until system is disarmed. In the Arm/AWAY setting, all Sensors in Zones 1, 2, and 3 will trigger the Alarm System. All Sensors must be closed/not activated in order to set alarm.
Bypass a Zone (For all Zones and Modes) There may be occasions when you would like to temporarily prevent the Sensors in a Zone from triggering the alarm. In this situation you can bypass a Zone when setting the alarm. Once the alarm is disarmed the Bypass setting will be removed. Step 1 - Select the Zone to bypass. Before arming the system, press and hold the Zone button for three seconds. The Control Center will sound a long tone while the button is pressed.
Test the Silent Alert Step 1 - After the Silent Alert has been successfully linked with the Control Center, press and hold the Mute button on the Control Center for three seconds. This action sends a test signal. Step 2 - When the Silent Alert receives the test signal from the Control Center, one LED indicator on the Silent Alert will begin to flash once a second. It will continue to flash for 30 seconds. flashing. This indicates the Alarm Siren has been linked with the Control Center.
Step 2 - When the Control Center receives the Signal Repeater’s test signal, it will flash the green power indicator. This means a confirmation signal was sent back to the Signal Repeater. Release all buttons. Step 3 - When the Signal Repeater receives the confirmation signal, the LED indicator will flash, five times. If the Signal Repeater does not receive the confirmation signal from the Control Center, the LED indicator on the Signal Repeater will not flash.
Choice Alert Control Center F.A.Q.’S Q. I erased a Sensor from a Zone and now all of my other Sensors in that Zone will not work. Why? A. The system can only erase entire Zones. You will need to add the other Sensors back in that Zone to the Control Center again Q. I am trying to program my security code and I keep waiting on the beep. But, nothing happens. Why? A. There is a short beep that you hear as soon as you press the Learn button.
Q. If one Sensor has a low battery, will the other Sensors in the Zone (or other Zones) continue to operate? A. Yes, as long as the other Sensors have sufficient battery power, they will continue to transmit information to the Control Center and the system will operate normally. Q. The manual states there is a 48 hour back-up. Do I have to reprogram the Zones if it has been without power longer than 48 hours? A. No, The Control Center will store the Zone and Security Code Settings indefinitely. Q.
